Words and phrases of G.i.D.'05

Some funny words and phrases that have come up during G.i.D.'05:

1. ham-fist·ed
(hăm'fĭs'tĭd) adj.

Ham-handed. The adjective ham-fisted has one meaning:

Meaning #1: not skillful in physical movement especially with the hands
Synonyms: bumbling, bungling, butterfingered, ham-handed, handless, heavy-handed, left-handed

During a semi-epic game of foosball, I remarked that perhaps Bob felt "ham-fisted" due to a play where he was tied-up on the back rank.

2. "I sure glad I'm not playing me."

Meaning: Dad was talking some trash when playing foosball, faced me, and said the above. This elicited some major laughter, and was repeated in many variations over the next few days by all of us.

3. "The two of you are louder than the four of us."

During a game of Nexus Ops down in the basement, the ladies made their way down, and began chatting nearby. The guys were a little noisy, rapidly discussing the game rules, and talking about strategy, etc. Tab noticed our volume level rising steadily of our conversation, stopped talking, looked over to the girls and listend. The volume of Kim and Mom was actually LOUDER than the volume of the four of us! His comment, the above, was not appreciated!
