Tank Miller's definitions

whoabouts

Who somebody is. It is like the word 'whereabouts', but for identity rather than location.

How embarrassing that I ran into a former coworker at the Knapsack Store, but couldn't recall her whoabouts.

getting on my pancreas

when someone or something is particularly pleasing or agreeable; the opposite of "getting on my nerves".

It was late, but still I was sad for dinner to end because she was really getting on my pancreas with her stories about yelling, "Hear ye, hear ye ..." during Confession.

maypops

offbrand athletic shoes. E.g., Stadias, Zips, Winners, Dart-A-Bouts, Curtsy Times, etc.

I can't believe I lost a tennis match to that bama with those maypops. His shoes had pictures of celery on them.

some pumpkins

Unusually good.

I was going to watch the first half of the movie and then go to sleep, but I stayed up well past my bedtime because, as it turns out, The Lives of Others is some pumpkins.

nightwink

When you wake up in the middle of the night, the moment when you check the time to see how much more time you have to sleep.

I feel fantastic today thanks largely to my great nightwink last night; I woke up to tinkle and learned it was only 2:14 AM.

Exxon Frank

somebody who is acting smug because they believe themselves to be unassailable, but little do they know that they can be gotten to. Just like that cocky tiger on the Exxon Tiger Marts who is no Tony the Tiger, that's for sure.

Look at Exxon Frank over there without a care in the world after stealing my white elephant gift, but wait until he sees that it's actually a novelty Theragun massager, which when you push the button, has a little flag that pops out and says, "Rub!".

Otis Figaro

The little ball that dances jauntily atop song lyrics to let you know where you are in the song.

Daisy had the gumption to sing Nothing Compares 2 U at karaoke and we all thought Otis Figaro had malfunctioned at the word 'restaurant', but it turned out it was just a function of Sinead O'Connor's ability. We all had a lot of nerve to ever question Otis Figaro.
