The dictionary according to Nate

Disclaimer: Please note that this post may be incredibly offensive and should not be read if you can't take a joke, or if you can, cause I was being totally serious when I wrote this. Also contains personal shots at individuals. You have been warned.

Audition Slippers - n. Kneepads. Used to imply that some actors are so horrible that they had to have spent more time on their knees than on the stage during the audition. Example: "She's so horrible on that stage. Did she spend alot of time with the director wearing audition slippers?"

B.I.L.L. - n. Acronym for Boss Is a Lazy Lummox. Almost always used as an insult. Example: If you put those speakers up there, you'll look like such a bill. Don't be a bill.

CCBC - n. A place where almost everything is half-assed by the administration and "higher-ups" and where hopes and dreams go to die. Also known as "Cost Comes Before Convenience", "The Hellhole" and "That Place". Example: John: "The lights here suck." Nathan: "Welcome to CCBC!"

Dance Express - n. Used to express something gross or unpleasant. Example: If you need me I'll be sitting on the toilet taking a massive dance express.

Jesus Wrench - n. Altman lighting wrenches. Called such because of it's cross shape and rumored mystical powers to keep evil spirits such as actors away.

Kwaliteee - n. The way that "quality" is apparently spelled at CCBC, cause they sure as hell don't know what the one spelt with a "Q" means! See CCBC.

Masters in Acting - n. A degree that DOES NOT, I repeat, DOES NOT qualify one to work as a technical director, but is not apparently a problem at CCBC. See CCBC. Example: My boss is in no way qualified for his job BECAUSE HE HAS A FREAKING MASTERS IN ACTING!!!

OSHA - n. Occupational Safety and Health Administration. A name tossed about when you actually want something done. Has the odd ability of getting you fired if not used properly. Example: Employee: "Do it or we'll call OSHA". Boss: "Call OSHA and you're fired!"

Techie - n. Term thrown around in performing arts to refer to anyone with little to no technical knowledge and black clothing. Due to it's blatant misuse and new found association with "imitation technicians who don't know what they are doing" is now considered to be derogatory by some. Is also an incredibly stupid sounding word to start with. Example: "Look at me, I'm a Techie! Watch me FAIL at using a screw driver!"

Trifles - n. Something we just don't talk about. Example: I hope this isn't going to be another Trifles!
