Another Erin-ism

During the 1st quarter of the Texas-USC game, Steve called a Texas player a toolshed. Proof positive that Erin has, yet again, coined another term for us. I am not sure whether to thank her or not. If I am ever called a toolshed, the wrath shall descend. I'm not just saying; I am promising.

What's the exact definition of a "toolshed"? I might have to start using this word.

I do not know exactly, but I CAN tell you that it is not a compliment. My children called each other this over the Christmas break (in love I am sure), so now it is part of our venacular. I just felt it prudent to warn the users of said phrase that Mama don't play that one.

Erin, Can you enlighten us on the exact meaning of toolshed?

hi Mimi! I've actually been reading your blog all along- I didn't have Steve's though. Thanks!

Toolshed: a person who is not just a tool--a word that has been used for quite a while to denote someone who is a jerk, an idiot, a moron, etc--but an entire shed of them. A toolshed is someone who ranks high enough for a curse word, but we were raised better.

And there you have it!
