Yeah...that's right - PART FIVE. I told you this was never ending...
In case you missed the first four installments, you may find them here:

Katdishionary Part Two
Katdishionary Part Three
Katdishionary Part Four
And now, on with the katdishionary:
In the first four installments of the katdishionary, I have shared words and terms from my time on the internets. However, there are some terms that have their origins in the non-virtual world. I will share a few with you here.
You're not the boss of me – (pronounced Yur-not-the-boss-ov-mee)
Definition: A declarative phrase meaning "you're not the boss of me".
Origin: Two summers ago. My friends Jeff and Tamara had bought a house. Jeff was already here, but Tam and the girls were still living in Ohio. As a surprise housewarming gift for their daughters, they had picked out new bedding and I was painting their rooms to coordinate:
Some of you may think I'm not much of a follower, but that's not necessarily true. I can and do follow strong leadership. Jeff is my pastor and I'm part of a church plant. I defer to Jeff and others when it comes to areas that are not my area of expertise. However...in this particular scenario (the painting of their house), I may have gotten a tad bit demanding and forceful in my opinions of how certain things should be handled, and I may have been insistent that certain things be done my way.
To which Jeff response was, "You're not the boss of me."
And then I don't remember what happened after that because I was laughing too hard.
Hard Panda - (pronounced hard-pan-da)
Definition: A panda that isn't fuzzy or hairy, with short, smooth fur.
Origin: We left the kids with my mom for a few days to attend the Exponential Conference in Orlando, Florida. The conference was over by Thursday, so we planned on going to Disney World the following day. When I asked the kids what sort of souvenir they wanted from our trip, my then 6 year old daughter informed me all she wanted was a "hard panda". After some considerable explanation, I was able to disseminate the difference between a hard panda and a fuzzy panda. Also, "hard panda" was to go-to phrase for the week in Orlando.
"Fuzzy Panda"
Honky for you (pronounced hon-kee 4 u)
Definition: interchangeable song lyrics to the worship song Fuel.
Origin: My daughter. Who sometimes prefers her lyrics to the actual lyrics:
We are burning…
We are yearning…

And thus concludes another edition of the katdishionary. Sorry/you're welcome!
