Leash

Anything that restricts movement; used as a euphemism for pager or cell phone, when the main reason you have the thing in the first place is your work or your parental unit.

Loser #1: Dam, is that my leash or yours?

Loser #2: Yours I think - my boss is on vacation so he won't be calling me!

quirk of fate

Something that happens to you that you didn't expect - but mostly good things. Being quirky isn't bad, it's just DIFFERENT. A quirk of fate is usually just a different scenario from what you were looking forward to.

Due to a QUIRK OF FATE, I found myself wine tasting with the captain of the fishing boat I was supposed to be sailing on.

modcons

Abbreviated form of Modern Conviences; means 'fully loaded". Popular in the 1960's when modern conveniences were new and unusual and 'elective.'

Dweeb 1: Hey, I just got a new cell phone from my company.

Dweeb 2: Does it have all the modcons? Like games, digital camera, customizable ringing?

thusly

A word used along with a gesture to show how something is done.

My dad Ray used to use this word the whole time we were growing up to show EXACTLY what he meant. (He'd draw pretty good pictures, too.)

If I were to open the refrigerator and stand in front of the open door, THUSLY, I would be air conditioning the entire town of Santa Monica, now wouldn't I? Close the door, FOOL!

shmoused

To be loved up; to have your shmouse with you and be shnuggly with him/her.

I laid my tired body down on the sofa and was SHMOUSED by the cat.

Bite theys little heads off
Nibble on theys tiny feet.
