Friday! It's time for Fanglish and this week we have a review of the past few weeks' lessons. Test your cat slang knowledge!
Ear-itation
Annoyance expressed by flattening the ears
The Lady removed Maurice from the counter and he responded with clear ear-itation.
Big Tipper
A cat who enjoys tipping over glasses of liquid
As The Lady left the room, she picked up her glass of water because she remembered Snowball was as a big tipper.
Writer's Block
A cat's ability to block a human's attempts at typing
Mittens walked across The Lady's lap and rubbed his face all over her computer, giving her extreme writer's block.
Eddie Vetter
A cat whose low howls on the ride to the vet sound not unlike the vocals of Pearl Jam singer, Eddie Vedder
Snowball didn't like riding to the vet with Maurice because he was a real Eddie Vetter.
Lord of the Flies
A cat who's trapped a fly between the sliding glass door and screen
Maurice became Lord of the Flies when a wayward fly thought he could escape through the screen door.
Window Shopping
The act of cats birdwatching through a window
While spending an entire afternoon window shopping, Snowball spotted the cutest little red number.
Sticker Shock
A cat's panic, realizing a sticker is stuck to his paw
Maurice experienced intense sticker shock when he walked across The Lady's return address labels.
Walking Papers
Any sort of paper (wrapping, news, copy) on top of which a cat feels he must walk
The Lady began wrapping birthday presents, therefore presenting Mittens with his walking papers.
