Moo Toss: A statement or explanation that is ridiculously obvious and/or patently false and/or flagrantly impolite but which the listener has no choice but to accept due to expectation, embarrassment, or social constraint. It's hard to find an example, but the general idea is that of putting a cow in a pen full of sheep. The cow can moo, but the sheep hear a bleat, because acknowledging the cow is Not Done. When the cow realises that teh sheep only hear a bleat, it moos louder and louder with the full and smug knowledge that it can't possibly be heard as a moo.
Moo Catch: An explanation for something odd that is created by one person in order to avoid having to acknowledge the truth. ie: "I keep finding magazines full of naked men in my 17 year-old son's room. He must have a secret girlfriend who leaves this stuff behind."
Bigcat: The lazy, satisfied disposition and physical deportment of a person who is feeling particularly content. Usually follows sex, but is not limited to it. Named for the similarity to large hunting cats in repose. Our OC, Kieran, spends a lot of his time in this state due to being a smug bastard who has a Ted.
Drape: OC Ted's usual response to Kieran's Bigcatting. Consists of hanging off him like a supremely contented curtain, and usually involves petting of some kind.
CST: Creepy Selective Telepathy. Caused by two or more people writing the same thing into IM simultaneously, or conversely by two people saying the same thing out loud. It happens a lot with us!

Sorry, but it was way too tempting to resist!
