mortgage

possible root from the French verb "mourir" meaning to die. The English word "mortgage" refers a home owner's loan that is usually with you until you die. Usage of the French root is supposed to make it sound fancier than "loan" - but it doesn't really.
J'ai mort - meaning "I am dead"
I have a mortgage - meaning "My social life is dead b/c I own a house"

morganeer

The art of drunkingly posing in the "Captain Morgain stance". Created on a whim, this drinking game became well know for it's ease of explanation and familiarity. The object is to see who among any number of people can stay balanced on one leg while lifting the other longer than all the rest, like balancing on one foot. All contestants must be noticeably inebriated in order for fairness to prevail. The winner claims victory and drinks 3 more drinks immediately for he/she is obviously less drunk than than the rest of the participants.
