I’m not up on all of the terminology. My wife suggested that I go get a “mani-pedi” with her. I told her that is something she can enjoy for herself.
After a few more times of her asking me to join her I finally figured out that a “mani-pedi” meant a manicure and pedicure. I was thinking that in was a “man”-i-pedi, and somehow just thought it was doing the nails - but on a man! (Yeah - I’m slow with this stuff!)
I can still trim my own fingernails and toenails thank you!
The following is a funny skit about Vietnamese manicurists. My family has been going to the same Vietnamese gal for haircuts. My son found this link and cracked up. “This is JUST like Kim!!” (Except for hair vs. nails).

YOU BE RIGHT...
Get the toes (I do tip well in these situations) because I just can’t get the ‘right angle’ to deal with the corners etc etc.
(So once a year I ‘git er done’, using a different joint each time - ya know, ‘familiarity breeds contempt’ and all that passe` crap).
BUT you ‘ain’t agonna dip and clip my fingernails’, that is carrying it a tad too far...
You will have to pry those fingernail clippers from my cold, dead, clammy hands...(Right after my pistola)
My daughter and I have always got a kick out of that nail salon skit. It is spot on :-)
We ad-lib our own lines to it.
You want lip wax?
No, thanks. Not today.
Ohhhh....you NEED lip wax, honey.
Oh no...I was too late to the party...see my comment #24.
