Arthur Spooner

Arthur Eugene Spooner is a fictional character in the American sitcom The King of Queens. He lives with his daughter Carrie and her husband, Doug Heffernan, in Rego Park, Queens, New York. Perhaps Arthur's most notable trait is his tendency to speak in flowing, elegant sentences, typically employing long words. He also frequently used outdated expressions, such as "cat's feet". Likewise, he calls cell phones "cellular telephones", referred to Istanbul as "Constantinople" and identifies catsup by its proper name rather than by the popular brand name that is universally called "Ketchup". One of his most often used quotes is "How dare you!" He has also been known to say "Thank you very little!" and "That's a separate issue!" He often remarks to those who pry into his business, "That's none of your affair!" When he feels that he is being pushed around or told what to do (usually by his daughter, Carrie), Arthur often responds by implying that the person is a dictator or a smear tactic politician.
