There are a few words and phrases that my family has adapted for our own use. The first of these is the phrase "Cootie-Hoo". This phrase is one of praise and adulation. When hunting, after you shoot your buck, you shout this through the woods letting the family know you were sucessful. This phrase can also be used as an affirmative. For example, someone could ask, how did that go, or were you sucessful? The person would then answer with "Cootie-hoo" meaning that again, they were sucessful.
The last word or phrase that my family uses is a modified version of the term "Broom-Ball". Broom Ball is a canadian sportwhich is played with similar rules to hockey. Our version is a bit different. To my family this game has become a bit like the thanksgiving argument that some families get into. My family will march outside, pick up our custom made paddles and head to the snow covered yard where we will proceed to beat each other senseless for the next few hours. The only real rule is that there are no rules. Team members will attack other teams and the next moment they will turn on each other. Basically, we have taken an established, structured event and turned it into a release for all of the pent up family anger over the year.
