Dictionary of terms from an adventure-filled business trip:
the bus (noun, sing.): vehicle for transportation that is far too large and far too cumbersome for any real practical purposes. In essence, a mini van that seats seven and breaks down easily. Automatic doors are handy until they a) stop functioning due to misalignment or b) close on you while you are exiting. A classy analog clock is included on the dashboard in a (failed) attempt to make the interior seem cozy and stylish.
cash cab (noun, sing.): game played while traveling that involves mind-boggling trivia questions and empty promises of small amounts of prize money. Answering three questions incorrectly results in being expelled from the transportation vehicle with no money and no map. Fortunately, thanks to the technological development of the "Internet phone", it is possible to look up answers to any question. As per the out-dated rules of this game, this is not considered cheating.
to wiggle (verb): to experience turbulence while seated in the very last row of a plane. Even the smallest of bumps are accentuated in this seating section, producing a pleasant (this is subjective, of course) jiggling sensation. Wiggle analytics consists of describing the intensity of wiggling based on a linear regression of altitude, wind speed, the enthusiasm of the passenger, and--most importantly--the shape and formation of the nearest cloud layer.
Chick-fil-A (proper noun, sing.): fast food chain that sports an intentional misspelling of what is commonly known as a "chicken fillet". This addictive breaded-chicken sandwich, along with its companion waffle fries, can produce hysteria for those who are unable to locate any in the surrounding area (read: within 1 mile radius). These panic attacks can lead to long, exhausting quests to obtain said food items.
to work (verb): to wake up leisurely around nine, spend the morning reading, and have a Southern lunch with my awesome brother. I wish my Wednesdays were always this wonderful.
