Kitchen Table Lingo is brilliant. I was just describing to nexstarman how a friend's dog was trying to insinuate her head under my hand for a skritch. Now there's a word for it.

I remember the "frankie hankie" it's a piece of paper you keep handy to put Frank on when he's sitting on the paper you want.


Thnaks for the Kitchen Lingo link. I really laughed.
