rathole file

This is where documents procrastinate after apathetic organization has rodented (is that a word yet? I mean ferreted and squirreled are verbs, but there are plenty of rodents that succinctly define the behavior) them away to an innocuous corner of of an administrative employee's office.

How did you find the Jonathon estate contract? That wasn't in his folder.

I just dug it out of the rathole file. Looks like the last signature on it is five years old.

aural dyslexia

A momentary fugue characterized by a lapse of comprehension in verbal communication in a language the listener is normally fluent in. The individual words may be understood, but somehow they fail to coalesce in meaning.

Sometimes this occurs from a statement made completely out of context, but it can also spontaneously arise from an otherwise clear flow of conversation.

"Don't make her laugh, though. You won't like the sound of it."
"...what?"
"repeats verbatim"
"Don't repeat it, rephrase it! I'm having aural dyslexia."

umu

It's an archaic Japanese interjection meaning 'yea', 'uh huh'. In modern Japanese fiction it's used similar to いい (ii) in that it can be used as an affirmative or positive ("Yes, that's good"), noncommittally or resignedly ("fine, alright") or dismissively ("Enough!")

"Do you want to play shougi"?
"Umu, I sure do! Where shall we play?"

wounded girlzelle

A girlfriend who will, through misrepresentation and exaggeration, make her boyfriend out to be a monstrous bastard in order to:
1) get sympathetic attention
2) prevent her gfs from ever getting close to her boyfriend.

This will backfire horribly if any of them give the bastard a chance and get to know him, or if they come on double-dates and realize that the slightest hint of bastardry is never evidenced.

I let her get away with the wounded girlzelle act because I honestly don't want to get to know her friends. From what she tells me, they all sound like a bunch of complete bitches!

Pete

Short for Peter. Peters don't tent to response to diminutive forms of their name, but they also don't overcompensate with self-promotion, such as diminutive Pete does.

"So what did you think of Pete in bed?"
"I know how he is in bed. That's why I call him Peter."

pee shy

Unable to urinate for any psychological or physiological reason.

"Dude, you were in there for a long time!"
"Yeah, it gets pee shy after I drink this much beer. It took 5 minutes just to get it running, then I had to sphincter out the tail."
