The Rottie-L
Dictionary Of Misbehaving Terms

The usual MO is that we'll pull in the term and include the name of the person submitting it the first time it's posted.
After that we remove the name from the dictionary. We consider this dictionary to be the "property of" rottie-l. And unless someone truely objects, we think it's a great idea to distribute it with rescues or puppies.
Anyone who posted something that's not in the dictionary please let one of us know. Sometimes we miss things. (Imagine that with the amount of mail that comes through.)
Happy reading.
