You Know What I Like?

My dad has the world's thickest South American accent ever. It actually is very beautiful to listen to...and I have to say, it is something that I would want to keep if I were him.
For the life of him, he can't pronounce certain things.
Example, there is a supermarket named Shoppers Food Warehouse back home. He calls it simply, "Choppers." Blockbuster's is "Blackbastard" and Fuddrucker's is "Jur Mutherfuckers."
One night, after a long night of eating and talking, he offered us a glass of wine.
"Du ju know dis whjine Alix? It iz call Bogel. Boggeil, no, how you say? Boggill."
He could not pronounce the word Bogle. It just didn't roll naturally off his tongue. Why should it? The word Bogle is such an odd sounding word.
The following week, he came back with the same thing, as though he had forgotten our previous discussion.
"Du ju no whjat I li Alix? Boggillll. I li it!" and he waved his index finger in the air with a spiral like movement.
So this is a long running joke in our household. Whenever we really like something we say it like this "Du ju no whjat I lyk? Orale Sexx."
