Why Did I Not Know This?

[stoutfellow]

Today's Freefall strip, and the forum discussion it triggered, has introduced me to a new word: "zoomies". An excited dog, running around in, say, a back yard, for the sheer joy of running around has the zoomies. It also describes the behavior of a dog when its beloved owner comes home. (Winston doesn't own Florence, but he pushes the same buttons in her psyche.)

A good word. I shall add it to my vocabulary.
