LARPI

Short for Life Altering Recreational Persuit Injury.

Any major injury that comes from pursuing a hobby or other fun activity like a sport.

Often used as a warning about that activity or to explain why someone doesn't want to do something, with the connotations of anxiety around potential risks.

She lost her leg from a skiing accident, that kind of LARPI is why I don't want to do that.

I don't want to get a LARPI from doing that, it looks dangerous.

ravelry

Term derived from revelry and ravel.
A knitting or crocheting party or celebration. Often noisy merrymaking, and there may or may not be drinking involved.
Most things made during inebriated ravelry are often mistakes

(and therefore unravelled or frogged), but occasionally the odd gem is made.

A room full of celebrating knitters - look at the ravelry!
