Family codes and ritualsFreddy Woo writes, "as a child we used to have a 'whoever cuts doesn't choose the slice' rule with cake. It worked brilliantly, but it's left me completely anal about dividing up food - my wife just takes the piss as I ritually compare all the slice sizes."
What codes and rituals does your family have?

Like Fuckpig's story......only in our house the remote wasn't called a 'zapper'
It was called 'The Gun'
On more than one occasion in my teens while friends were visiting, there were eyebrows raised and pants shat when my Dad said "This programme's rubbish, where's The Gun?"
Knowing that my Dad was a Customs Officer, they thought he'd do an Arnie/Predator/Mini-Gun on our 17" TV.
But he just meant that he wanted to see what else was on...
Customs dudes aren't allowed to carry guns, y'see.

THE BOXWhen my wife first called it "The Box" I mercilessly ripped the piss.
I believe "oofer doofer" to have been popularised by Noel Edmonds on Telly Addicts, although I imagine it may have been in use prior to that.
