schnibble

Faux-Yiddish word that means a tiny piece of paper used for doodling, scribbling, taking names, addresses, phone numbers, notes etc. Very useful when you don't have a pad on your person.
Lisa, I don't have a pad, so let me take down your email address on this schnibble.

Nauru string figures

The string figures of Nauru are among the most complex patterns produced on string in the world. The island nation of Nauru is the home of an anthropologically fascinating ethnic group whose customs are very similar to those on Polynesian islands.
Some of those Nauru string figures are really beautiful! I have a book that shows how to make them, but they're so tricky, I think I'll have to learn from a a pro like ISFA's Joe D'Antoni!

B7

Blake's 7, a British science fiction TV series from the 1980s. The crew of the Liberator (and later on, Scorpio) were led by Roj Blake, all attempting to escape from the repressive Federation.
I'd love to see the Brits make a B7 movie!

boondoggle

The colorful plastic lace one uses to make lanyards, key fobs, handcrafted wallets and purses, etc.
Is that counselor in some kind of a knotwork contest? Look at all those complicated knots in that boondoggle whistle lanyard he's wearing!

beatlicious

Rock music that really has a great beat and memorable tunes. Pun on The Beatles.
Although there's a lot of s**t out there on CDs and MP3s, you can still find stuff that's beatlicious.

campesino

One of the names preferred by people in the Andean countries who speak Runasimi or Aymara. The name "cholo" is also used but seems to cause some confusion if it is directed at a speaker of Aymara. One of the other names, "indio", is a derogatory epithet and should NEVER be used when speaking to a Quechua- or Aymara-speaking person.
Carlos is a campesino, from the altiplano in Bolivia. He speaks both Quechua and Aymara.
