578-579. Words not much heard

My father-in-law used some delightful expressions.  In each limerick, the final word was a favorite of his.

   Graham Kerr, maybe? 
A chef who was great at preparapin',
The soup made of meat from a terrapin,
Used triple the sherry.
This made diners merry
And led some to say "That was larrupin'!


Enamored of ancient Egyptians,
A man would decipher inscriptions
Found in long-buried tombs
Having hundreds of rooms.
When they stumped him, it gave him conniptions.
