I've gotten some great responses for the ferret book, but I need many more
pertaining specifically to ferret BEHAVIOR.  I got a great one from Amy
Flemming, i.e. "Drive-by" (When the ferret runs from one place (towards
you), nips you, then runs).  I got a few other great ones, but most were
phrases used to call their ferret.  They were good, but we need more
ferret-specific behavior type phrases.  Keep the thoughts coming and thanks
for your contributions.

Ferret Lovers!  We all know ferret behavior is strange, wonderful and often
terribly curious!  So help me put together a few funny phrases for my
upcoming ferret book (Big publisher!!).  You know.....something like "poopus
interruptus" or "hidey hole" that captures ferret behavior or oddities!
Book is coming out in the Spring, but my deadline is rapidly approaching.
 
What I need from you:
 
1. Your phrase
2. A clear definition of what it means.
3. An e-mailed statement saying it is your original phrase to lend.
4. Your full name for the credit section.

We are a no-kill shelter for exotic animals in Illinois.  Much of the book
proceeds will be benefitting the critters (17 ferrets included) directly.
Be original and creative, but most of all HAVE FUN thinking them up!
Thanks!
