Get the blug-blugmug. 1. A spelling competition in which the participants have to spell the words orally, and sometimes (especially for the finalists) in front of an audience.
2. A character in Norton Juster's The Phantom Tollbooth, which is a play as well as a book. The main character is a boy named Milo, who leads a boring, predictable life, until a magic tollbooth appears in his room, and he goes to the worlds of Dictionopolis and Digitopolis. The spelling bee is, literally, a spelling bee-- an actual bee who spells words as he speaks them. The Phantom Tollbooth is a fantastic "children's" book, though adults can enjoy it as well, as they will get more of its jokes.
Sidenote that has nothing to do with understanding the definition, but is cool: my name is Rachel, and The Phantom Tollbooth was the play my class did in 5th grade. I was the spelling bee. The only other person I have ever met who even knew there WAS a play, was also named Rachel, also did the play in 5th grade, and was also the spelling bee. We are the same age, so it is possible that we were rehearsing and learning our lines simultaneously, though we didn't meet until we were cabin-mates at camp a few years later.

1. Person running the spelling be: Okay, the next word is "antidisestablishmentarianism."
Poor little 4th grader: Ummmmm..... come again?
(because most 4th graders don't say: WTF? How the hell am I supposed to spell that, I can't even pronounce it!)
2. The spelling bee is the best part in The Phantom Tollbooth, seeing as how the other leads were divided into 3 or 4 parts, including a sex change for Milo.

Get the stick 'n plum townmug. You ask for parietals if you want to have a MOS in your room. Parietals is not the act of banning them from your room, it is the practice of asking permission, and, at some places, leaving the door partly open (with a shoe or something.) It does not START at midnight.
female boarder: hey, you want to come up to my room????
random guy: um, ok, but shouldn't we ask for parietals or something? Don't want to get in trouble.
"It's not the groping that goes on behind closed doors that I worry about-- it's what goes on behind the open doors that bothers me!"

Get the parietalsmug. If you haven't heard of the computer game Glider, you should read that definition before reading this one.
Glider Pro was what came after the original Glider, adding to it lots of new things, but it was essentially the same game. In Glider pro there are more room backgrounds.... you can link a switch to an object in another room.... there are LOTS more objects... etc., etc., etc. Makes building rooms/houses more fun because you have more options, but loses some of the charm of the original Glider. There is a Glider Pro for Mac OS X, but it doesn't have room editor. The one for OS 9, which does have a room editor, works on OS X machines that have a "classic" mode, but it freezes randomly for no reason.
note: Cassidy & Greene, the company that licensed Glider and Glider Pro, went bankrupt several years ago. The author, John Calhoun, has made Glider Pro available online for free, as shareware. Go to Google and search for Glider OS X, and you can download Glider Pro-- the OS X or the OS 9. As far as I know, Glider Pro is only available for the Mac.

Get the Glider Promug. A person who never closes windows when they are done with them, but simply minimizes them. This is especially relating to web browser windows. The person's rational for doing this is the same as what New Hampshire's new state motto should be: It Might Come In Handy.
Example of one situation in which a person might be a minimizing addict:
"I googled his name, but hardly any websites came up, so I thought hmm, maybe I spelled it wrong... so I minimized Google, and opened a new browser window and went to his college's website, but I couldn't find him there either, so I thought wait! I think he transfered! So I minimzed that window, and opened a new one to go to the other college, and then...."

Get the minimizing addictmug. Dustin Diamond co-starred as Samuel Powers, aka Screech, in Saved By The Bell. He started the show when the class was in 8th grade, with Ms. Bliss, continued with it throughout high school, AND the college years, AND he was still there for "the new class."
Dustin Diamond did NOT improve with age, and would probably have had a hard time getting any other role in anything, since he was instantly recognizeable as Screech.
Screech is the epitome of a dork.
