Späagen-Fäagen

A stress-relieving social event centered around the destruction of an old major appliance with sledge-hammers, Axes, or other old major appliances.

The Fäagen is the appliance, while the Späagen is either the impliment of destruction or the guy holding it.

When one of the brothers was given an old semi-functional dish-washer by his aunt, everyone took the even older donated almost-entirely-non-functional dishwasher out back, Späagen-Fäagen-ed it, and threw its flattened remains on the bon-fire.

EWAG

Educated Wild-Ass Guess

A guess where you don't know the answer, but you do know something about the subject in general, so your answer will be better than just a WAG (Wild-Ass Guess).

Bob: Hey John, what's a Drosophila melanogaster.

John: Not sure. From my extensive knowledge of ancient Greek I can tell you "Drosophila" means "dew lover" and "melanogaster" means "fruit-eater". My EWAG would be some kind of fruit eating bug.

Bob (under breath): "What a Putz. I'll just look it up on wikipedia."

DLBA

DLBA - Don't Like But Agree. This is a comment to leave on a post you agree with that describes something so bad that "liking" it would seem sadistic.

Leon: "Joseph is a genocidal murderer and he is destroying my country!"
Mikhail: "DLBA"

ATCF

As The Crow Flies - the straight line (/ great circle) distance between two points, as opposed to the longer distance required to drive between them if you prefer staying on asphalt.

It's only 11 miles ATCF but since the bridge is out it's a 70 mile drive.
