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.

you-don't-say-tality

Somebody who dies from a heart attack because the person who called 911 was a mime.

Sadly, Keith's Aunt Connie was yet another you-don't-say-tality, which is more evidence that you should see a cardiologist before visiting a boulangerie.

Shoe-Sock-Foot

the Hungarian version of Rock-Paper-Scissors. Shoe covers sock. Sock covers foot. Foot stinks up shoe.

The kids wanted to play "I Love Lucy", so first they played Shoe-Sock-Foot to see who had to be Ethel.

a bucket o' nose hairs

disappointing.

I had heard good things about the movie Sideways, but it turned out to be a bucket o' nose hairs.

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!".

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.
