Addendum to Family Vocabulary Lesson Number 1

Thanks to my astute granddaughters we can update the family vocabulary lesson with four significant additions:

• egregious.  Meaning, anything one doesn't like, anything that is rotten, unbecoming, obnoxious, or whatever.  In short, anything that is egregious.  One of the first words I taught my granddaughters.  I'm not sure it was a good idea since I've never heard the last of it.  Not an original word.  Just a well-traveled one.
• PU.  Short for parental unit, as substitute for mom and dad or ma and pa.  Also short for patriarchal unit, meaning father.  
• MU.  Short for matriarchal unit, or mother.
• GPU.  Short for grand patriarchal unit, or grandpa.
• GPU.  Short for grand matriarchal unit, or grandma.
• Cogniziant.  Meaning, I am not, or was not, cogniziant of this factoid.

I know there are other significant vocabulary additions out there, so I need your continued help and support in completing this vocabulary lesson so we can pass it all down to succeeding generations to improve their literacy and sophistication.

A Family Vocabulary Lesson

Several  unique words are essential for basic communication with one another in our family.  Among these words are the following:

• extrusionate: meaning, to extrude.
• orientate:  meaning, to orientate.
• lurt: meaning, as in a-lurt, where lurt is a rare avian species that goes around looking sleepy.
• marginal costs must equal marginal revenue:  meaning, or else.  All-purpose solution to all problems.
• road trip:  borrowed from Animal House, meaning trip to 7-11 for soda and goodies.  Usually late at night.
• keeper cup: quality soda cups costing extra which are worth keeping for their special visual effects as opposed to throwaway cheapo plastic cups.
• moron:  any other driver on highway who tailgates, cuts off, looks offensive, drives unacceptable-type vehicle, or otherwise should be pulled over by highway patrol and given ticket for just being on highway.
• quality time:  time spent together with spouse and family after 11:30 at night after Leno and Letterman when people think it's time to go to bed.
• Jerk: meaning moron.  See above.
• WalMart: meaning, punishment for bad behavior.  As in, "let's go to WalMart."
  

This list is incomplete and will require the assistance of my extensive multi-level downline of descendants and heirs to my economics book library for further elaboration and completion.
