Coining a New Term
Minion (n.) - a servile or fawning dependant. There are other definitions, but I think we have captured the main essence with that one. I am always fond of saying that as a goddess, I am always in need of minions. Artoo pointed out to me today at lunch that since my minions all tend to be male, I should start calling them "menions". And thus a new word is born!Menion (n.) - a male servile or fawning dependant in the service of the goddess Dish.
A note to my menions: The word minion is actually derived from the French mignon meaning darling (somewhat in the sense of "the precious"). Of course that sort of starts us down a strange and disturbing road. I think it is best we stop the analysis right here.
I love my new word. Thanks Artoo!

I predict Trish writing the following comment:
"Shove it menion."
you complain about getting made fun of, then post things like this where you are obviously going to be made fun of...
Come on. I don't really use the term "shove it". "Kiss my arse menion" is really more my speed. ;o)
I love it! I love term! I plan on stealing it now. Of course, I only have one menion but it's a start!
loves it!
Also I never got why they call it a filet mignon. Is it because it's usually small so they call it cute, darling?
You owe me royalties... i coined that term.
