violin

An instrument that can sound beautiful WHEN PLAYED RIGHT. However, most of the time it isn't.

My definition of the way a bad violin sounds: "Horse hairs rasping against the entrails of a cat!"

dillyhopper

what to call something when you can't remember what it is called. Works like a charm at my house. We usually know what the object is that the person is referring to, even if they call it a dillyhopper!

Jennie: Hey, Hallie. Hand me the dillyhopper. Hallie: Ok, here. (Hands her the TV remote.)

country

What someone who is part of the sadly diminishing group of people who have enough common sense to WORK HARD, PRAY HARD, PLAY HARD, AND LOVE DEEP ought to be PROUD to call themselves!

Country till I die! No, wait, Heaven is country, too, so country for eternity!!!

SCORE!!!

A term used to congradulate someone or oneself for having come up with the ultimate put-down or having done something waaaay cool! Usually accompanied by holding up the hands in a goal-post formation.

Once, when we were on a band trip, one of our buses broke down at a gas station. The sign outside said, "Baby Chicks Are Here!" We were playing Truth or Dare and somebody got dared to go out and change to the sign to say, "Chicks Are Here, Baby!" They did, and a guy in a passing car honked as he drove past! SCORE!!!

or...

We got to march our band right down the middle of Times Square in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade! SCORE!!!

or...

(Referring to a former choir director whose van wouldn't start, thus holding us up, in the middle of a tour because he left the lights on while we went inside and ate:) He's the only man I know who could mess up a one-man funeral procession! SCORE!!!

oboe

A woodwind that is very difficult to play and is best taken in small doses!

What's the difference between an oboe and an onion? Nobody cries when you chop up the oboe.
