the communists have invaded the funhouse

A woman has gotten her period.

Don't bother Sylvia today. I think the communists have invaded the funhouse.

rainy day at the beachhouse

Any rainy summer day when the rain is almost a welcome excuse to lay around and play board games/read a book/listen to records etc. Participants need not actually be at a beach house or even be on vacation but must be away from work or work activities.

Well it looks like it's a rainy day at the beachhouse. Wanna play Parchesi?

Galactate

When you are about to go through a dead zone with your cell service and your call starts to sound like you are a Cylon from Battlestar Galactica.

Dude, if you Galactate at that dead zone I'm hanging up.
