Dorothy Moment

The feeling of being homesick or missing home, or arriving home after a period of absence. As Dorothy experienced in her trip to Oz in the classic The Wizard of Oz.

Can also describe any encounter with a tornado, witch, munchkin, scarecrow, tinman, cowardly lion, flying monkey, or man behind the curtain.

The feeling of waking up after a halucination in technicolour and realizing that you are not in Kansas anymore.
Example 1
"Hey man, did you see that tornado take away that girl's house?"

"That's a Dorothy Moment!"

Example 2
"Last night was crazy. I saw things that I never knew existed."

"I know right! That trip was intense. Where are we?"

"Chigaco."

"Oh? We aren't in Kansas anymore?"

"That's a Dorothy Moment!"

acquaintance of Dorothy

A "secret code" phrase to mean that --- while you are not of alternative orientation yourself --- you are at least "neutral and tolerant" in your views/feelings regarding other-than-straight individuals, and so anyone within earshot knows that he can feel comfy and secure around you, no matter what type of human he identifies himself as.
Jerry Dean Michael (a.k.a., "Elizabeth Carmichael", the infamous proponent of the equally-infamous "Dale" automobile) might have been able to label himself as a "friend of Dorothy" back in the beginning, but after he swindled so many people out of their life savings in their eager bids to acquire one of his non-existent fuel-miser automobiles, he could probably only have claimed to be an "acquaintance of Dorothy", since neither the Kansas girl or anyone else would likely have wanted to be HIS "friend" anymore!
