1.Cubism is a description or label for a period or process of art style pioneered by Pablo Picasso. Picasso broke his images into pieces and changed subjects colors either by choosing hues across the color wheel or those which suited some other artistic purpose necessary to complete his theme. His broken mirror pieces probably were devices which allowed him to put other dimensions (time and space) of each subject matter onto the same canvas in whatever rearrangement suited his whims and compositions needs. In this manner, Pablos renderings actually escaped the limited dimensions of the canvas for all time.
2. The state of being a Cubano or Cubana refugee who has been torn from the old homeland and forced to accept the foibles and exhilerations of the new one.

1. Pablo Picasso broke his subjects into pieces and painted those shards with alternate hues in order to escape the usual dimensions of the painted canvas and formulate the school of cubism.
2. Dulce Maria was an American girl to the max and also had many tell-tale indicators of cubism.

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.

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!

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!
Jimmy Ray crossed the Golden Gate bridge and headed north on Highway 101 thinking about Santa Dog Rosa as well as all the years he'd been making that magical drive to the coast along River Road.

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.
