    Are you sure that's not Cecil and Beanie? ;-)

    Loch Ness monster: the fake in the lake.

    Unicorn: a creature only seen in the company of virgins, which has got to tell you something about the prevalence of virginity..

    Good one, Pompey!

    Dionysus: The God of Wine and Drunkenness, worshiped everywhere in pubs, gin-joints, bars, nightclubs, beer joints, many restaurants (some of extreme high quality!) or at home with the TV and a six-pack.

    Some of us laugh
    Some of us cry
    Some of us smoke
    Some of us lie
    But it's all just the way
    that we cope with our lives...

    Ghost: a psychic phenomenon remarkably like a shadow except that it doesn't exist.

    Ouija board: Marketed as a "game" this innocent seeming parlor trick has been known to cause bad things, even if they are only in the mind of the person that suffers. The old saying is: "Call up no more devils than you are able to put back down." Trying to contact the dead or other spirits is frankly stupid, and best left alone.

    Medium: What the ether was supposed to be until they figured it couldn’t be there and went back to the drawing board.

    Scat (as in bear scat or wood ape scat or Bigfoot scat):

    Scat: Feces of some animal you are trying to track or hunt. It is also known as "sign:" as in "I saw some deer sign in that clearing over 'cross the creek." If you step in it, it is called "cutting your foot" and means you will be laughed right out of hunting camp!

    Spoor: Evidence left by something you have been hunting, and perhaps getting excited by chasing, but which you can’t yet get your hands on. The next best thing to a bird in the hand.

    Dark matter: a hypothetical form of matter invisible to electromagnetic radiation, postulated to account for gravitational forces observed in the universe. To put it in layman's terms: "An intelligent sounding excuse for why something happens when you do not have a clue."

    Some of us smoke
    Some of us lie

    Gonna Get Ya: Threat uttered by those too weak or too scared to take one on at the moment. Unfortunately, nowadays, they often follow through with a loaded gun...

    Road Rage: An over-exercising of the mouth and the middle fingers temporarily forgetting that one is driving a vehicle and perhaps miscalculating that the guy who is being so annoying also forget to bring his favorite weapon along.

    Market crash:

    Market crash: Things that have caused my wife's 401K investment package to loose $2,000 so far. So China is devaluing their money. It would affect less Americans if the greed of the 1% hadn't shipped a lot of our jobs over there...
