Word #1: TYRON
Doug: You've all heard of Adam and Eve right? One day, Adam's son Cain pointed to a beautiful area and asked Adam what that was. Adam said, well Cain that is where we used to live before your Mom ate us out of house and home.
Seriously though......Adam and Eve ate from the tree of "Good and Evil" and then realized they were naked. So Adam said, "hey Eve, over there is a fig leaf we can "tryon". A Tryon is a fig leaf worn by Adam and Eve.
Carey Sue: Actually it is pronounced like "tree on". There was a series of commmercials, one with a mom and little girl in the woods, the little girl swinging from a tree swing. She is wearing a dress out of material from a combination of tree by-products and rayon. Tryon is a material made from tree by-products and rayon.
Sam: Well, in the little square room with the porcelain throne, in my palacial double wide back in Hannibal, MO....my wife keeps several gardening magazines. There is a gardening tool used to dig up truffels.....it is three pronged so as not to disturb the truffel when digging it up. It's called a Tryon. A Tryon is a truffel shuffle.
Adrian: One day as I was taking a walk with my mother, I asked about the birds and the bees. She pointed to a tree and said, when a male tree gets excited over a female tree, it gets a 'Tryon'. Seriously though, Tryon is a Norwegian word for a dance step that has 3 movements. Tryon, a 3 move dance step.
Word #2: BLENOPHOBIA
Carey Sue: When you eat one thing on your plate at a time...The fear of mixing or blending your food when you eat.
Sam: The fear of an abnormally large jaw bone.....Be Leno phobia. hehehe Seriously! You know that stuff that comes out of the can of spam, the slimy stuff? It is the fear of slime, or anything slimy.
Adrian: It is a Norwegian word....One day I was down in sick bay, and there was this guy there and he was just screaming. I asked the doc, what is his problem? He said he had blenophobia, which is the fear of seeing your own blood.
Doug: Back in the early 30's there was a clown named Bleno. He used to terrorize the circus and little kids....spit on their cotton candy and all...so blenophobia is the fear of clowns.
Word #3: WILLYWAS
Sam: Sounds like Elmer Fudd closing a news cast.."And thats the way it willy was." No really...You know all those little pieces of breakable useless crap that people put on a shelf, and you stand up and smack your head on it knocking them over, they fall off and get broken and you get yelled at? Those are Willywas...or another word for them is knicknacks
Adrian: It is a Norwegian word....I went was up in Alaska once, and went scuba diving. And you know the water is rather cold up there. I took off my wet suit after diving one day, looked down and that's where my 'willy was'. hehehe NO seriously....it IS a Norwegian word. It's those little ribbons attached to the sails, that let you know if you are getting 'true wind'.
Doug: The plastic tip on the end of a shoelace is called a fipple. When it gets frayed it is called a willywas. So a willywas is a frayed fipple....Not a scared fipple, but a frayed fipple.
Carey Sue: I used to date a guy from Colorado. Willywas are the cold chilly winds that come down from the mountains and make you shiver.
Word #4 FULLFART
Adrian: You were all at the boat drill right? I was out there, boat drill for the crew, the Captain walked up, looked straight at me (and remember this is the Captain, the guy who can sign me off this ship!) Anyway, he walked straight up to me, pointed a finger right in my face and said......."Full Fart!" I didn't know what to do so I pulled his finger! hehehe No, seriously though...it is a Norwegian word that means a force 5 wind
Doug: A Fullfart is a four way exit on the German Autoban
Carey Sue: Fullfart is a Norwegian term, a navigational term meaning......full speed ahead
Sam: I used to think it was a midwestern term. When I was growing up and acted out, my Dad would say "Son! Stop that fullfarting around right now!" hehehe No really, fullfart is a musical instrument. A horn played by the Vikings
