Hi folks! We has been gettin' some mails that has asked us the meaning of some words. We has also noticed some letters on this here FML in which folks asks what some stuff means. As a public service, we wants to post a few defynitions. Rainbow Bridge - From Norse mythology. It's the bridge that stretches between earth and Asgaard on the way to Heaven. All critters go there when they quits breathin' and bouncin' so's they can wait on their friends to join them on that 'Great Gettin' up Morning'. Rumored to be one heck of a party place. Old Fert - What our Paw Paw is. Also applies to other 'chronologically challenged' folks. Mee Maw - A very nice and special human-type lady that we loves a whole bunch. Fert - What we is. Our Paw Paw has been accused of coining the term, but we ain't sure about that. War Dance - What we does when we is feelin' wild and crazy. Poop - What we does in corners when the need arises. Sometimes referred to as 'Doodo' or 'Stuff'. Hmmm. Kinda-sorta puts a whole new light on that Pepsi commercial - the one that says, "Buy Pepsi, get stuff." Hmmm - Don't bother us. We is scratchin' our haidbones. Big Adventure - A day in the life of a ferret. Ruh Roh - Variation of Uh Oh. Paw Paw done stole this from Astro on the Jetsons fair and square. Pooter - That thing we types letters on. Dyslexia - That thing that Paw Paw has that causes him to type words funny sometimes; like, "Dyslexics Untie!" Party - A day in the life of a ferret. SO - Significant Otter. (Our thanks to Kit for this one) Also used to denote someone who is special to us. Great Spirit - the God of our understanding. Science Fiction - Stuff that Paw Paw writes when he's hoggin' the pooter. BBQ - Stuff that Paw Paw cooks that's better than raisins. The sauce also comes in handy when a cat-critter needs to be baptized. NONOBADFERRET - Term used by the FLO to say, "Job well done." Mo Bob - Mythical god in the ferret pantheon. Known to be a stealer of socks and bringer of joy. Also known to collect bones. Frequently speaks wisdom in the form of puns. Ol' Flop Foot - Useless appendage that hangs from the end of Paw Paw's left laigbone. Walking Stick - Handy dandy device used to whomp up on bad critters - usually cats. Flame - What Paw Paw uses to cook BBQ. Also a letter to be ignored and trashed. BIG - Our moderator - Bill Gruber. A really nice young feller who puts up with nonsense like this. We still ain't fingered out what the 'I' stands for. Listserv - BIG's cranky cyberfert. He likes to fuss when letters get too long like this one is. See NONOBADCYBERFERRET. Joy to the World - A day in the life of a ferret. Also what Paw Paw feels most of the time. He just don't know no better. Well, that's all we gots for now. Anybody who wants to add to these defynitions can just jump right in. "Hang on, Newt, we's headed for the Dictionary!!" Many much loves and dooks, Tater and Odie [Moderator's note: Well, at least he said I'm young. BIG] [Posted in FML issue 1663]
