I think it's time to bring something back.
We all have our pet names for things,,, slang, butchered up titles,, in my case names like "Turtle Lady", and "Costmember", to others I've heard, like "Primevil Hurl."
But things change over time, stuff goes away, new stuff is added, old stuff is changed, so let's bring our list back up to date!
This is something we all can add to, no trademarks on any of the terms so feel free to post your own "farcical phrases" that we all can use.
So I'm going to re post this from a few trip reports ago, but it's over 3 and a half years old now, although I haven't changed it much, it's time to bring it back.
Shall we?
ladies and gentlemen,,,,,, here we go!

Webster's Unabridged Dictionary
Yeah, that's how it started, every household had one.
times change, however.
NEBO'S Abridgeisout DIStionary
Ok, here we go, the dissers true guide to Disneyworld.
Yes, after many years of research, we are finally able to share with the masses, the special insider terms and phrases that we all hold so dear.
Like all reference books, this is not finite, so feel free to offer your own "specials" that would add to the list shown here.
I'm sure they will be just as stupid as mine.
Oh, did I just say that out loud? Never mind.
Ok, the names or initials you see next to a word or phrase are from the original source, as known to me, that first said it. Yes, folks will be left out, and half of it will be wrong, but I can only go by what I have read, and more importantly,, what I remember.
This DIStionary is arranged in chronological order, (meaning the order that they popped into my head as I was writing them,) unlike Webster's who foolishly arranges his book alphabetically.

26. Tree of Tears (lexmelinda), : Iconic landmark of Animal Kingdom that also houses the "Screamin' Kids Show", 3-D movie that will have all kids screaming as soon as "Hopper" shows up. The jab in the back is only in case some kids need a head start screaming. This movie has been highly acclaimed as a great birth control method for newleyweds, however. (by the way, kids with "Hopper" passes are not immune.)
27. Lastpass: Ticket you can get anytime during the day that you feel you might wish to do later. Which you can then save until the end of the day, when the park is packed, and fastpasses are gone,,,,,,, and they will still honor! Makes a great parting park ride gift.

Ok, I'm shot, done typing. No, I'm not going to go into the "lack of Imagination pavillioin" or what I wished would become " Honey, I shrunk the preshow" in same said pavillion.
This has sinced be replaced by:
35. Captain "EWE"
There is, however, a couple more {egocentric} phrases I have used.
( ok, what the heck are those brackets, and how in the hell did I get them? Did I go Goth?)
Yeah, these are phrases you won't see being used by others, but they hold a special place in my heart.
36. Grinding Nebo, the Ride: What happens when I have to come into a dark ride after being in bright sunshine, and don't quite make it all the way into the "clamshell" when I am told to "SIT".
37. Indiana Diana Stuntshow Spectacular: Yes, they renamed it after her after she showed up on stage more often then the INDY did.
38. Fooling Nebo, the Moronical: Again, what happens when they keep changing the show time for the musical at Ak. JUST to throw off my schedule!
With that, I am done. Yes, I know I'm gonna hear some spit, sorry I could n't connect the right quotes all the time with the right people, I can only go by what's stored up in that feeble brain I have.
So, let me end it here now, with a line I always liked from a Tiggerbell trip report:::::
"And then the Castle blew up, and we all went home!"(Tiggerbell)
... Anyway the lovely (not really) town of Manahawkin is located on the coast of fabulous South Jersey which is now famous due to the recent unwelcomed visit by Hurricane Irene. We also had an earthquake here last week and plenty of tornado warnings - when does the volcano erupt? Truly a vacation capital of the east coast. Actually Long Beach Island (which is 5 minutes away) is really a vacation location - and they were all evacuated this weekend - it made for some fun at the food stores and gas stations!
!

But I am back and I am counting down to my very own celebration "I am so done with damn radiation celebration". So I am happily going to ride along like the good oletimes of rowdy brazillion tour groups while I count down the days to our WDW trip on October 4. Whoo hoo! Watch out sand bucket stealers...this year I am fighting back.
