In this game, you&#39;re considered lucky if Chris Osgood has a save percentage higher than .700 in any given match as most shots result in a rebound which is subsequently put in the net. If you&#39;re REALLY lucky, the rebound attempt will be saved resulting in another rebound (which will subsequently be put in the net). This is called the &lt;b&gt;threebound.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The definition is a little bit flawed, because technically the third scoring attempt would be considered the second rebound, however, deucebound (thank you Jordan Fkeenish) was not as catchy.</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://gunsenmacher.blogspot.com/feeds/8344249186909904131/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://gunsenmacher.blogspot.com/2011/04/threebound.html#comment-form' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4358875311480964164/posts/default/8344249186909904131'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4358875311480964164/posts/default/8344249186909904131'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://gunsenmacher.blogspot.com/2011/04/threebound.html' title='Threebound'/><author><name>gigantic</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16146785057299839640</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4358875311480964164.post-890265955093728182</id><published>2011-04-03T14:23:00.001-04:00</published><updated>2011-04-03T16:50:41.774-04:00</updated><title type='text'>Edwin Errorcarnacion</title><content type='html'>Defn.

&lt;br /&gt;
1) renaming existing words and phrases&lt;br /&gt;
2) merging multiple words from the same phrase into one time-saving super-word, or&lt;br /&gt;
3) creating a new entry to go along with an entirely new definition in what is now called the &lt;b style=&quot;color: red;&quot;&gt;gigtionary&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Here is an example of 1)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;color: black;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;*psychoplasmatic*&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
This word is great because it makes a mental condition (psychosomatic) sound like a futuristic military weapon&lt;br /&gt;
ex. &quot;fire the psychoplasmatron!&quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Here is an example that incorporates properties from principles 2) and 3)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;b&gt;*mugilatarian*&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This word is&lt;b&gt; &lt;/b&gt;not approved by one of my biggest haters. The controversy makes it that much of a better word. Take a girl who is especially mugly (a much better word than the pretentious &quot;fugly,&quot; as it incorporates the act of making a sourpuss face, or &quot;mug&quot; while simultaneously being ugly) and give her a ruthless, manipulative personality that is indicative of a totalitarian. Voila! You have yourself a mugilatarian&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;WARNING: &lt;/b&gt;Before elongated use of my words, please be advised that the internet exists, and as such, some of my productions may have been thought of and/or has already been published online. A good example occurred last week when I thought of the brilliant phrase &quot;Russian Toilette&quot; to refer to a situation when you have to do a twozie, but risk the potential lack of toilet paper available to cover your ass (literally). Later on, I checked Urban Dictionary and the phrase already existed.</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://gunsenmacher.blogspot.com/feeds/7023434230163196046/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://gunsenmacher.blogspot.com/2011/04/heres-how-this-works.html#comment-form' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4358875311480964164/posts/default/7023434230163196046'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4358875311480964164/posts/default/7023434230163196046'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://gunsenmacher.blogspot.com/2011/04/heres-how-this-works.html' title='Here&#39;s how this works...'/><author><name>gigantic</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16146785057299839640</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry></feed>
