No Whining Allowed

Welcome to The NutHatch Dictionary!

Hopefully a helpful tool for understanding some of the words and phrases that we use regularly in our Family. An explanation of the “In’s and Ism’s” .  Our very own Secret Squirrel language.  Kind of like code.

If you ever feel you need to have the definition of an unfamiliar word used on this blob,  just leave a comment and I will be more than happy to assist you! I have tried my best to put things in alphabetical order. But I might make a mistake now and then.

Ba-Dult- When we lived at our previous house, they had a neighborhood pool. The last 15 minutes of the hour, the lifeguards blew the whistle and all the kids had to get out of the water for adult swim. Which our children always called ba-dult swim. They are now almost ba-dults themselves.

BAMBO!- A word of exclamation! Honey’s word of choice, said loudly. Example: I was looking all over for that hammer, and then, BAMBO!, there it was!

blob- real word; blog. Created by Mrs. Schmenkman’s Mother, EEEK. Example: The NutHatch Dictionary is a new page on my blob!

CHERYL! I.Do.Not.Care.- Usually used to tell someone that I cannot comprehend any of the subject that they are trying to tell me about. Usually related to sports, or fishing, or ANYTHING that I don’t care about. Stolen from the movie “Remember The Titans”, when Cheryl, the tomboy daughter of one coach, was sharing too much information about the football plays, to the accessorizing daughter of the other coach. Her reply was “CHERYL! I.DO.NOTCARE.! My feelings, EXACTLY!

Coo-Pin- Real word: coupon. Just a funny, doesn’t have a real origin.

Dope-O, or it’s angry older brother, Dope-O-Head- Another Honey-ism. A name of derision. OR, could be a term of endearment.  Example- What do you think you’re doing Dope-O-Head????

Dry as a bug’s hull- Parched or thirsty. Stolen from the sermon of an old timey Baptist preacher, A.V. Henderson. Example: Give me a drink of your water, I’m dry as a bug’s hull!

Fitchin’- the way our family says fishing. I don’t have any idea where it came from.

Goggle that blob- real saying; Google something. Another masterpiece from Mrs. Schmenkman’s Mother EEEK. Example: I’m not exactly sure what it means, so I’m gonna goggle that blob.

I got the cute Dr.- phrase stolen from an episode of “House”. A symptom of a patients disease caused her to repeat herself. She said this phrase several times. This is something that we say to each other when someone repeats themselves. Usually said by children to their aging parents. Example: Parent says, “Are you eating dinner here tonight?” Child replies, “Yes”. Half an hour later Parent asks, “Are you eating dinner here tonight?” Child answers “I’ve got the cute Dr.”.

pull(or push) the door to- push the door to the frame, without actually shutting it. Example: Just pull the door to, I don’t want to lock the cats in here.

 schnibble- Just a little, usually pertaining to food. Stolen from Mrs. Schmenkman. Example:  I’m not really hungry, I’ll just have a schnibble.
