Fun Monday! My Late St. Paddy's Day Edition

Gah! I was up for Waaaaay too long yesterday to post a proper entry for Fun Monday, so I'm gonna try it today before I hit the hay.







This week's Host is Nikki and she wanted to know a little about our weirdness...



1.) I don't know about you, but my family is great at creating strange words that only we know the meaning. Some were created when the kids were first learning to talk, others came about when our tongues were twisted and the word came out funny. Either way, the words stuck and we still use them in our daily conversations. What created words does your family use?! Please share the story behind the word if you remember. If you don't have a made up word then tell us about the unspoken way you communicate with someone. Do you and your significant other have a look that means "This party is boring, lets split" or do you have a look that your kids know means their butt is in serious trouble? Please share!! And a picture of the look would be very entertaining!
OR/AND
2.) In honor of St. Paddy's Day, please share your worst green beer story!



Ok... so I don't have a Green Beer story... Thank Goodness! LOL! So, I'll have to choose the weird things that my family says...



1) "OHNAMSHEBAHHH" - This one we can attribute to Cuz and his friends. During one particularly drunk enlightened evening they decided that they should embrace their Indian heritage and chant around the fire they had built. Ohnamshebahh kind of stuck with Cuz and he shared it with the Hub, and then when I came along, it just sunk into our everyday speech. It usually is saved for those times when one is seeking peace and enlightenment, or sometimes done with hand motions to show reverence to someone more enlightened than yourself.



2) "Woosaaah" - This one was borrowed from Martin Lawrence in the movie Bad Boys II. And yes, we do rub tug our ears if need be. It's done to achieve a calming effect. Also, it has been used to let someone else know that they need to find that inner peace and calm themselves down, as in, "You better Woosaaah Somethin!"



3) "Buidling" - It was just a simple typo once upon a time, and now it stands as a tag word for minor slips of the tongue that just don't sound right.



4) Raising your Hand for apparently no reason - Yeah... stand closer and you'll figure out the reason! LOL! Hubbs and I were out shopping on Black Friday one year and something he had eaten was Not sitting well with him. (ever heard of the Walking Farts?) Anyhoo, I kept finding myself awash in his stench manly aroma and finally told him, "Geez! Could you at least raise your hand or something so I'd KNOW what you did?!?!" He now does it even when we are sitting at home watching TV. Why couldn't "Take out the Trash" have stuck that well?????



5) "Madder then a squashed cat!" - As in I'm madder then a squashed cat at you for doing that! This one came from our niece. She was about 4 and was telling my Mom about hearing her parents arguing one night. She says, "Granny! Mama was Madder then a Squashed Cat at Daddy!" Mom asked what that meant, and she pointedly said,"Well, if you'd a seen mine when I ran over it with my bicycle you'd know!" (Yep, I'll be telling this story at her Wedding some day!)



6) DumpsterVision - This one comes credit of our friends Mike & Mona. There was once a dumpster, a bunch of techie guys at a weekend getaway, porn, a sheet, and a hotel dumpster. DumpsterVision was born! Sooo, now, when the weather is good, we get together, hang up a sheet in their car port, curl up in lawn chairs, watch movies outside and eat grilled meat.



7) "Ungh!" (AKA: Neandertal Grunt of Agreement) - Stick around for a few minutes and you will probably hear one of us (usually Hubby) grunt our agreement emphatically. Sometimes, if it's Really good idea, Hubby throws in an "Ungh ahaa!"



And so we put another Fun Monday down in the blogs... If you haven't already, head on over to Nikki's site and see what the other participants have to say!



Have a Great Week Y'all!

Goodnight!
