If you read Kelly Grayson's book, it's full of these nuggets.

One of my favorites is "Tachylordia with a junctional Jesus"

That's when you pick up the old woman who's rocking back-and-forth moaning, "Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, Jesus! Lordy, Lordy"

The technical term is HP, which is the abbreviation for Hispanic Panic. Not to be confused with a Triple E, an Ethnic Emotional Episode

My instructor called it "syncopal Sunday" and specified that one lady had to be fanning the other with a piece of cardboard.
