Candycasa

"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 ...

Anywhoo

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."

Guvernator

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.
"The Guvernator has made reference to his line in the movie, 'I'll be back!' "

Spelt

Spelt is a complete sentence that means, "Put your seatbelt on now!"

Years of telling countless children, repetitively, to put their seatbelt, was condensed into a simple command, "Spelt!" "Spelt." or "Spelt it!"
Spelt it now Buster or I'm pulling over this SUV!

Stargazer

One who observes, looks for, gawks, or even tries to interact with a celebrity.
100% TRUE STORY: After trying repeatedly to semi-successfully engage in conversation with Frances Fisher (former lover of Clint Eastwood) at Whole Foods Market in Hollywood, a stargazer knew her label ... when Ms. Fisher said loudly, winking, to the cashier as the "stargazer" followed her in line: "What kind of lily is that (pointing to a bunch of lilies for sale at the register)?" The cashier loudly said in reply, winking back Ms. Fisher, while looking at the "stargazer" gawker ...

"It's a Stargazer."

She knew then, that she had overstepped her boundaries with the celebrity, and was a true Stargazer.

bundlecakes

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.
C'mere bundlecakes! Let's change your loaded diap (diaper)!
