Glossary

I am fairly certain that the vocabulary of my household will be new to all my readers (or most, since many from my family read this). So, I've compiled a list of words and their definitions, that may be updated whenever I deem necessary, and should be helpful in further reading of this blog. Also, just hearing these words is bound to bring about a smile.
Warning: Many of the following terms were invented by a potty training two-year-old, and therefore may be offensive to those not used to talking about things that take place in the restroom.
