Ripsnort
My family and I talk frequently enough that our conversations are rarely catch-up sessions, so we end up talking about day-to-day stuff, which is nice and normal and makes me feel like I'm a regular part of their lives despite living several hours away. My sister's puppy is a favorite topic, and the favorite verb to go along with that topic is ripsnort. Em, Mom, and perhaps even Dad have all described Nelly as ripsnorting around the backyard, and ripsnorting around the house when she comes back inside. I love it, the word makes me laugh each time I hear it, and makes me think of either a bronco at a rodeo, or a puppy snuffling and jumping and running around and making a big fuss.
