Definitions by Steve

Moore Interval:  The time between when my mom says she's ready to go and when she actually leaves the house.


Liz:

WGGP: World's Greatest Gin Player - his nickname for our grandpa dan.

BFG: Big Fucking Gun. Rather self-explanatory I think.

AFU Light: the All Fucked Up Light. Applicable to both computers and people. As in, "why are you on the couch? was the AFU light on last night? *smugness*"

From Jackie:

DTJ:  A "Don't Take Jackie" movie.

ESWG:  "Even Steve Won't Go"  The at most 2 movies a decade Steve refused to see.  Mostly bloody teen murder movies.

IBA:  "Intensified Body Awareness"  The condition in which there is a 2 degree range that is neither too hot nor too cold.  Also applies to other sources of discomfort.  Shamelessly cribbed from Alan Parsley.


Giant Food Redistribution Events:  Any party involving my family, which Steven described as my sisters, my mother and me descending on one or another of our houses, carrying mass quantities of food in our trunks, each dish large enough to feed twice the number of people attending if you assume that was the only food being served.  Everyone eats the equivalent of two kernels of rice and a pea (remember, he coined this before the 9 grandchildren grew up to be trenchermen), the leftovers get divided up, and everyone leaves with mass quantities of food in their trunks.  

Emma and her manservant:  my Dad and his beloved dachshund, as in, "Are your mother and Emma and her manservant coming over?"
