You guys, are tripping. Onion and his father, are FOREIGNERS! his father, he, and probable Sour Cream (brother), come from another country where the language is "those noises", to work as fisher in Beach City seas.

The father is too old to learn english, or maybe he knows a few (due he's never been talking non-english with anyone else), just the right to make friendship with Greg. Onion is too young, but can barely understand it, that's the reason because he stares so intense (trying to understand in his mind what people is telling him) and so he express himself by signs (he does not know the words). Sour cream maybe learnt in his other country high school, and that's the reason he can talk in english.
