show-ga
n.— «We are always experimenting with our show. I think we were just having fun naturally playing off each other on stage one day and did backbends facing each other and someone took a picture. (See photo above.) It really became “show-ga” as soon as Jennifer made up a name for it. Whenever she makes up a name for something, look out.…Show-ga is actually moments where we incorporate some yoga elements into our physical show. You could see backbends or triangle pose. You never know.» —“Sugarland Reveals the Power of Yoga” by Craig Shelburne CMT Aug. 10, 2007. (source: Double-Tongued Dictionary)
