How 'bout:

Flea bites (verb)-the little nibles you get from your boxer babes front teeth when 1) you're rubbin' their "sweet spot" and they want to return the favor; 2) during play, the human is doing something the boxer REALLY doesn't like and he/she would LOVE to just bite down, but knows better

K'OED - (verb) - what usually happens when you decide to play with a rambunctious brindle who has a wicked left and right!

backward glance - (verb) - this always happens when you tell the boxer to go lay down. As they are in the process of going to lay down, they stop and glance back to see if you are really sure that's what you want. (this is usually followed with the loud sigh)

challenge stance - (verb) - this is the posture most commonly seen when the boxer is either bored or is telling you to "get off the couch...it's play time"!! The stance is bold and challenging, with both front legs stretched forward and the butt is midair. This is commonly followed by twirls and leg-thumps, and then is quickly returned to the challenge stance.

filtered water - (noun) - this is water that has been slurped up too fast by the boxer and then filtered through the stomach and reprossessed (usually in the middle of the floor about 10-20" from the water bowl) for later drinking!

Roo - (verb) - also known as the Kangaroo jump, but in my house it's called the "roo". When Spirit is ready to come in, he will jump at the door almost to the point of knocking his noggin on the porch roof! As he does this and each time his face appears in the window, we say "I see roo"!! :D

butt-biting - (verb) - an action similar to having a cling-on, only this happens whilst the boxer is sleeping soundly then suddenly jumps up and tries to get whatever that was that just bit their butt!!

toot-face - (verb) - this is a mixed expression of denial and embarrassment. It comes immediately after a boxer-toot (fart). Once the toot is released, the boxer head turns in the direction of the butt, as if to say "did that come from there...nawww...*sniff sniff*...ewww...yup that was me" and then the boxer makes eye-contact with whoever is closest and the ears lay back with that look that says "s'cuse me...pardon me..hehe..so sorry"!! :o

garbage pail - (noun) - an over-sized food bowl/toy box!

Speedy-nub: (noun/verb) When a Boxer gets so excited to see you he/she wags their tail so fast and with such vigor you're certain it's going to lift their butt up in the air.

Bean-walk: (noun/verb) (See also Kidney-Beaning, Speedy-nub, and Woo-Woo) When a Boxer begins to kidney-bean but gets so excited that he/she forgets what their doing and just walks around bent to one side. Usually accompanied by the Speedy-nub. May also be accompanied by the Woo-Woo.

:D

Jawcracker: the phenomonon that occurs when the boxer jumps up at the same time the human bends over to bestow a kiss on the boxer's cranium. Usually results in a confused dog and a comatose owner.

I would add: "May be accompanied by a nose-bleed."

 

[Gruntsmom]

OR a split lip!!

 

[Coco'smommy]

AAACCCKKK: (noun) noise made by opening the jaws as wide as possible and coughing really gross like then feeling really happy about it.

Oh My....I laughed sooo hard that I had to get up from my desk and go to the bathroom cause I couldn't stop. It's just that I know that sound and just thinking about it. Coco will eat something she shouldn't or swallow without chewing and do the AAACCCKKK.....

That was great.

slobberina--the stuff that hangs off their lips as we take a long walk

O.K. - the people at work think I have totally lost it, as I am sitting at my desk cracking up.

My submission is:

blow-hole...the act of getting as close to a closed door as possible, sticking the snoot close to the bottom door crack, and blowing like a whale, just to see who or what is on the other side. Always will get someone's attention to open the door, but if the human doesn't open the door fast enough, go to Plan B - the nutcracker suite. Gets the daddy out of bed all the time

 

[Mama_Zookeeper]

blow-hole...the act of getting as close to a closed door as possible, sticking the snoot close to the bottom door crack, and blowing like a whale, just to see who or what is on the other side.

This always seems to happen to my husband when he wants "alone" time in the bathroom...I think Rocky secrectly lives to make his daddy yell from the other side of the door!
