Named for the action of Hansel (and Gretel) from "Hansel and Gretel," the Grimms' fairy tale, as they dropped stones or bread, in turn, to mark their path through the forest.
Forms may include: Hanseling (or lower case, hanseling), a verb; to hansel, a verb; or Proper noun, Hansel (meaning one who drops carelessly in described manner, or any variation of such).
Hanseling is the term used when items, carelessly or purposely, are dropped (possibly in a meandering or careless path-like manner) as a man or boy walks; Greteling is the identical term when a woman or girl walks and drops items in similar manner.
So there is the male version: Hanseling. The female version: Greteling. Either caps or lowercase: Hanseling or hanseling; Greteling or greteling.
The term was initially used years ago when small boys would fail to stay put at meals, and would carry their meals or snacks around the house, haphazardly dropping crumbs or chunks of food in paths around the house.
The term not only includes eating and dropping crumbs, but can broadly include dropping any item (such as clothes, paper, trash, etc.), often in an unthinking or inconsiderate manner.
It can further include not wiping ones' feet at the door, and hanseling mud throughout the home. Etc.

Get the Hanselingmug. "Home Sweet Home."
Candy/sugar highs or lows (the blues) can strike at home, anytime.
Nonetheless, as the cliche goes, "There's no place like home." Sometimes its' sweet, and sometimes being at home gives you the blues ... like sugar can be sweet or not - and make you crash.
Still, home is "As Good As it Gets." We can be our best, or our worst. And get the best, or worst, treatment too ...

Get the Candycasamug. Interchangeable with Anyway, but the distinction being that Anywhoo is more friendly, casual, and text-message or informal/casual-email friendly.
It can sometimes denote a transfer of interest from the writer's business to the reader's. It can be a way to denigrate oneself in deference to the more-important reader.
Or it can simply a way to write-off what one just said or wrote. It can be a way to make light of the subject at hand and change the subject with humor of a somewhat-undefinable word.
It can be spoken as "Any who" or "Any whoooooo ... "
It spins from the Yoo-hoo fruit drink/chocolate milk slogan, "Wherever your action is."

Get the Anywhoomug. Arnold Schwarznegger.
A combo of his acting role as "The Terminator" and his present role as Governor of California.
May have been an affectionate way of referring to his superstar status as both a bodybuilder and a machismo actor - and also an elected politician.

Get the Guvernatormug. An affectionate term for a toddler or baby in diapers.
"Bundle" came from a page and picture in the classic children's book, "Danny and the Dinosaur." There is a page where the dinosaur is carrying an older lady - who has her packages from shopping - across the street. His hands are cupped and she sits in them like one would a chair.
So, she is holding her bundles and the dinosaur is holding the lady's bundles. The dinosaur had asked if he could help her with her bundles. So, the double entendre is that her bundles are her backside, which for many reads caused roars of laughter with a toddler, who then inherited the name, "bundles" and also "bundlecakes."
Bundles is slang for bum, and cakes has double meaning for what a diaper is used to contain - but also for "cake," which a child sometimes is affectionately called: cake.

Get the bundlecakesmug. A trapped emotion is an emotion felt but not fully processed. Hence, it becomes a stuck emotion, trapped energy that was either ignored, "stuffed," or otherwise not felt to fruition to fully feel the length and breadth of whatever we personally needed to experience. We may have purposely ignored the pain of the emotion of shame to not feel deep pain and hurt. Consequently, our body "held" onto that energy and it became a hindrance to us.
Using an energy healer, I was able to get release from some trapped emotions I experienced in childhood, but never fully processed, hence never consciously allowed them to release from my energy field.
