Webster's Rejects

Have you ever made up words or phrases? Of course you have. If not, perhaps you skipped childhood.

I started making a list of all of the words and phrases that have been invented by all of us over the past several months. Below is a small preview of that list, created not just by myself, Greg and Keith, but also many of you: our friends and family. I'm not going to list "credits" on many of these, simply because I'm not sure if you want the credit. The last thing I want to do is out someone who wishes to remain anonymous. But if you see one of yours listed below and you're the proud author, feel free to claim your place in this edition of "Webster's Rejects" by posting a comment below.

Black Bean Salute 
More than just a mere emission of digestive gases, the Black Bean Salute pays homage to both foods and activities that reward the soul. But yeah, it's a fart.

Dirt Squirrel
A mustache styled like that of Wyatt Earp, a guy who lifts weights on the beach, or the Pringles guy.  

Dumpling
One who is short and dumpy. Cited in Wiktionary - something or someone shaped roundish, like a dumpling, especially a fatso.

Earn the Beard
Term used to convey living your life to the fullest.

Fart Stallion
An especially loud motorcycle, probably a cruiser. A Fart Stallion must be driven by someone who is proud and unapologetic of the loud noise their bike is making, otherwise it's just a motorcycle.

Fecal Transplant
While still open to debate, this has been previously debunked by Keith as a false procedure whereby doctors would transplant feces from one like species to another for the purpose of providing nutrients to the deficient recipient.

Rapey
Term used to describe anything or anyone that looks potentially dangerous or capable of holding you captive. Examples include box vans, monster trucks, and guys with Dirt Squirrels.

Super-fun-bus-times
Anything related to having fun in a VW bus. Examples include camping with other VW buses, music festivals, road trips, and synchronized swerving.

Trail Tooter
Any off-road vehicle, such as a 4-wheeler, that can be heard by others for miles around.

Veggie Viking 
Term used specifically to refer to Keith Earickson, but can be used to describe any Norseman who rarely or never eats meat, yet still consumes large, hearty quantities of beans, cheeses, and breads. 

Turd Token
Junk food. Examples include Combos, Hot Pockets, and hot dogs from the gas station. The Chinese buffet is also a turd token.

    Btw, Earning the Beard has very little to do with growing one!
