A room in the middle of a house or courtyard leading to house which has open ceiling, sometimes a water feature and ART displayed as in a gallery. Similar to an "atrium" but with ARTWORK as the main attraction.
Jimmer emptied the espresso maker into his cup and took a leisurely amble into the artrium where he contemplated sculptures, paintings and prints waiting for him there.

Get the artriummug. a type of short form zen poetry that's the same as haiku (ie., 5-7-5 syl per line) but which has reference to altered states of consciousness.
When the doors of perception are thrown wide or torn off their fasteners; short verse constructs such as highku can capture moments, realizations and altered glimpses of other states of consciousness.

Get the highkumug. Another name for city of Santa Rosa in Sonoma County, California which was underground renamed after Residents song "Santa Dog" as well as to celebrate the creation of Charles "Sparky" Schultz - the one and only SNOOPY!

Get the Santa Dog Rosamug. football plays/playbook invented by John "Spot" and Jimmy "Weasel" at Redondo Union High School in the mid 60's which were comprised of quick passes that could not be defended. Probably the original "West Coast Offense" later coined and used in NFL by Bill Walsh and company.
When John and Jimmy started moving the ball downfield with the "pansy play" Larry, Dear Old Dad, Ears, Walter, David, Tyler and others could not defend it!

Get the Darwins Curvemug. Any combination of dog and wolf, ie., a hybrid of the two. (It's a popular consensus that three parts dog to one part wolf genetically makes a "safe" wolfdog hybrid.)
When I was looking for a canine companion at the Sonoma County SPCA on highway 12 in the early 80's; a beautiful wolfdog which the attendant told me was a Timberwolf, Malamute, Siberian Husky and German Shepard mix ran to the cage front, jumped up, made eye contact and beseached me to get him out of jail.
