hootenanny

A party, most generally one that is, well, chock full of hoot, with just a little bit of nanny.

Oz: We should figure out what kinda deal this is. I mean, is it a-a gathering, a shindig or a hootenanny?

Cordelia: What's the difference?

Oz: Well, a gathering is brie, mellow song stylings; shindig: dip, less mellow song stylings, perhaps a large amount of malt beverage; and hootenanny, well, it's chock full of hoot, just a little bit of nanny.

Xander: Well, I hate brie.

LAN hootenanny

n. A LAN party also meeting the parameters necessary for a hootenanny, especially when occurring south of the Mason-Dixon line. WARNING: In order for a LAN party to be an official "LAN hootenanny", ALL ethernet cables MUST be home-made, and include at least four (4) VISIBLE home-made connections. Solder on those connections is highly optional! Excessive use of duct-tape on, around, inside of, or across any computers at a LAN hootenanny should always be expected. Excessive use of the word aight is recommended for the full effect.
