My new favorite phrase is...

"Hanny Van Arkle's Voorwerp."

This is a real thing. Really. I'm not making this up. (I feel like Dave Barry.)

I was at a symposium last week and one of the presentations mentioned this. It was one of the highlights of the week. (Make what judgments you will from that.)

I challenge you to use the phrase in casual conversation at least once over the holiday season. It could be helpful in getting you through one of those awkward, awful holiday office party conversation lulls. Or it could be a great topic-changer when the family starts to ask those questions you'd just rather not answer.

You're welcome.
