Just for Fun - Funny Real Estate Definitions

I don't know if George Carlin started it all when he called Atheism - a non-prophet organization, but there are all sorts of hilarious word definitions out there.  Here is a sampling:

Coffee Table: The level of coffee you have to maintain in your body to function effectively

Flabbergasted: Appalled by discovering how much weight you have gained

Abdicate: To give up all hope of ever having a flat stomach

Balderdash: A rapidly receding hairline
