I did some more research and came up with a few more terms in ferretus latinus. Ferretus rasinus-this refers to the art of pushing a raisin with a ferret nose to see how far from the starting point they can get it. Ferretus beggus-this is the art form of asking for a treat,and always precedes ferretus raisinus. Ferretus pleasus-This is the last resort effort of assuming the ferretus flopus position and gazing longingly in the direction of the raisin can. Ferretus flopus-The well developed art of assuming a flat as a pancake posture and looking totally bereft.It is raised to a high art by some skilled practioners with the addition of placing ones body on the humans foot. Ferretus tripus-the art, practiced by all card carrying ferrets,of darting in front of or between the persons feet,some like to add a squeal to get a better response. Well,got to go practice my ferret latin. Dooks ,Sandy,and the 3 ferreteers [Posted in FML issue 2336]
