You know how your family has terms that you only understand, or maybe you have sayings that you use to inspire yourself and others. I realize that I do that on the show. I use terms like "mamarazzi", "mompetitor", and "mully". I say acronyms like FIDO! So, in an effort to not drive the K-LOVE receptionists crazy with questions about all my terms, I thought's I'd post a "glossary" if you will of sayings that I use, and give you an opportunity to submit yours!
Feel free to add the lingo you live by! It just might make it on the air!
