thusly

A word used along with a gesture to show how something is done.

My dad Ray used to use this word the whole time we were growing up to show EXACTLY what he meant. (He'd draw pretty good pictures, too.)

If I were to open the refrigerator and stand in front of the open door, THUSLY, I would be air conditioning the entire town of Santa Monica, now wouldn't I? Close the door, FOOL!

Leash

Anything that restricts movement; used as a euphemism for pager or cell phone, when the main reason you have the thing in the first place is your work or your parental unit.

Loser #1: Dam, is that my leash or yours?

Loser #2: Yours I think - my boss is on vacation so he won't be calling me!

POATEW

Angry; Irate; woke up on the wrong side of the bed.

From the acronym Pissed Off At The Entire World. Pronounced poe-AH-too.

After Darrell got a second speeding ticket in the same day, he was POATEW for the rest of the week.

shmouse

An animal or pet that is smaller than the standard size; a loving pet that is small and snuggly.

After me and the shmouse hit the beach for a game of Frisbee, we went home and shnuggled.

eggcident

A kitchen accident, usually involving an egg, but it can involve any other messy, hard-to-clean food, like jelly.

While cooking breakfast, Millie had an EGGCIDENT and had to wipe down the stove, as well as the floor.

Boyo

another word for a male friend; a bastardization of boy.

Me: Hey, BOYO, what the haps, man?
Friend: Nada, absolutely nada.

quirk of fate

Something that happens to you that you didn't expect - but mostly good things. Being quirky isn't bad, it's just DIFFERENT. A quirk of fate is usually just a different scenario from what you were looking forward to.

Due to a QUIRK OF FATE, I found myself wine tasting with the captain of the fishing boat I was supposed to be sailing on.
