UFROG
n.— «Even before we moved in, my wife set the deadline of transforming our UFROG (it means unfinished room over garage) into 250 square feet of livable, workable space, which I commonly refer to as a man room. It’s not really a den as much as it’s a place where I can put my collectables, dartboards and bar equipment, which she commonly refers to as junk.» —“It’s called work for a reason, and nobody said it was going to be easy” by Andrew Roman Sun Journal (New Bern, North Caroliina) Oct. 14, 2006.
