One of the unique behaviours of possoms is when they are afraid of a preditor they go into a self induced state appearing like they are dead. When I was a child my brother and I used this word as a code word meaning pretend to be sleeping when our parents whould come to check on us at night. This word has been passed down to my children and grandchildren over the years

"You son of a b--! i've been waiting all this time while you chase a #$*% pink possom?"
When you have to pee in a movie but don’t want to miss anything, and must do the following mental equation: will the amount I have to pee cause enough discomfort to diminish my attention capacity for the remainder of the movie to an extent which is greater than the amount of the movie I would miss by making a mad dash to the restroom.
I saw Satantango last night, wonderful film but by the 5th hour I had to start doing pee calculus.
