 Now, the way you jump when your garter snaps up and it feels like someone shot a rubber band at you? That's called "jumping because you've been snapped by a garter and it feels like someone shot a rubber band at you."</description></item><item><title>Re: Two Words</title><link>http://www.englishforums.com/English/TwoWords/vhlnq/post.htm#371904</link><pubDate>Mon, 26 Jan 2009 02:24:56 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:371904</guid><dc:creator>Clive</dc:creator><slash:comments>1</slash:comments><comments>http://www.englishforums.com/English/TwoWords/vhlnq/post.htm#371904</comments><wfw:commentRss>http://www.englishforums.com/English/comments29-371904.xml</wfw:commentRss><description>Hi, 
 I am trying to remember two words. One means "to jump when a woman is putting on pentyhose." I  guess one of our female helpers will comment. 
  Meanwhile, I agree that I would certainly jump if I got up from this chair, turned around and saw a woman putting on her pantyhose.   
 The other is a bit trickier as I don't remember its exact meaning, but I do remember the second part of the word, and possibly the first. The second part of the word is "***," the first part is something like flip, but I am not sure that's it. Are there any other words that sound similar to "flip ***?" 
  It depends on what the asterisks signify. Something shocking, no doubt!  
  'To flip someone the bird ' means, I think, to make an obscene gesture...</description></item><item><title>Two Words</title><link>http://www.englishforums.com/English/TwoWords/vhlnq/post.htm</link><pubDate>Thu, 26 Feb 2009 02:24:56 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:371891</guid><dc:creator>Anonymous</dc:creator><slash:comments>2</slash:comments><comments>http://www.englishforums.com/English/TwoWords/vhlnq/post.htm</comments><wfw:commentRss>http://www.englishforums.com/English/comments29-371891.xml</wfw:commentRss><description>Hi,  I am trying to remember two words.
