Get the Family Busmug. Refers to the common but totally unproductive/destructive practice of a young child's parents and/or two or more older family members successively "delegating" or "passing the buck" from one family member to another when the youngster asks a difficult/uncomfortable question, rather than the initially-queried adult's simply saying, "I don't know" or, "That is not something you need to know just yet --- wait till you're a few years older to ask about that."
Small girl: Daddy, how was I born? Where did I come from?
Father (glancing up from his evening paper): Go ask your mother that question.
Small girl (toddling over to her mother, who is knitting by the fire): Mommy, how was I born? Where did I come from?
Mother (looking up from her knitting, surprised): You know --- that's a really excellent question... why don't you ask your father about that.
Small girl: Well, I already did --- Daddy told me to ask you.
Mother (exasperated): Oh --- well, then, I think maybe your Uncle John could help you answer that.
Small girl (going outside where her uncle is lounging on the porch swing): Uncle John, how was I born? Where did I come from?
Uncle John: Hummmm... lemme guess --- didja ask your parents about that, and they sent you to me?
Small girl: Yes, Uncle John --- Mommy said you'd be just the person to ask.
Uncle John: Ahhhh... givin' ya da ol' family-member run-around, are they?

Get the family-member run-aroundmug. A movie about a guy that gets a glimpse into another life, since the audience is supposed to think he didn't appreciate the one he had.
Don Cheadle was not the natural comedian and lover people thought he was trying to be in The Family Man. They could tell he really wanted Nicholas Cage dead, because he hated Nicholas Cage enough to want him dead, and they could see it in his eyes.

Get the The Family Manmug. The phenomenon where a car that only has 1 row of seating but has Happy Family sticker sticked on its rear windshield anyway, defeating the original intention of the Happy Family sticker.
I saw a sports car with a Happy Family sticker on it—total Happy Family sticker misfit! How can they claim to have three kids when there’s barely room for two passengers?
