I was thinking last night of all of the words and phrases I've learned
from the FML over the years... most of which I never would have thought
of on my own, but are incredibly appropriate.  I thought I would share
my short (much appreciated) vocabulary.
 
  Dook - ferret "giggle" or "laughing" sound
  Carpet shark - ferret
  Flat ferret - very tired ferret collapsed on the floor
  Lick-lick-chomp - we understand this, but good to know mine aren't the
       only ones who do this  :)
  SND (sleeping not dead) - scared the heck out of me the first time, but
       at least I'd heard about it before it happened to me!
  Bottle-brush - a "fluffed up" ferret (or ferret tail)
  Punishment poopie - no explanation needed
  FLO (ferret liberation organization) - the reason for all the really
       wierd stuff my ferrets steal
 
Any one have more to add that I'm missing?  I really appreciate all the
info and sharing that happens here - good times and bad.  It's been a
great help and comfort... oh, and definitely amusement, too... many
times.  Keep up the good work you guys!
