| 3. | bannock | ||
|
A dense, poorly-leavened bread that travels well, making it a great, tasteless vehicle for calories. It is often used by tradidtional campers who canoe and portage for weeks at a time, as it doesn't fall apart when wet, and can be cooked in the heat of a dying fire for lunch the next day. That allows the campers to unwind instead of cooking, but adds to the density of the food.
Must be an old word for cake, because "bannock-hives" are 'swellings' from eating too many bannocks (i.e., fat rolls). "Why is this bannock so hard?"
"Sorry, there wasn't any baking soda." |

| 5. | Uncle Adolf Syndrome | ||
|
Uncle Adolf Syndrome or UAS for short is a mental condition whereby the sufferer displaces guilt from the innocent to the guilty to protect the guilty. Typically a parent or teacher will blame a child for being unkind or rude for asking a pertinent question about an adult which questions their morality or correctness in some way. Adolf's nephew asks "Is it really a good idea to use cyanide gas to kill Jews Uncle Adolf?" His mother, suffering from Uncle Adolf Syndrome, snaps "Don't be so rude Jonny. How could you upset Uncle Adolf when he is so kind stroking his dog."
