"M" is menace

It's obvious from all the body language that L.D. is a menace to everyone in his extended family.

"N" is narrowed

Jack narrowed down L.D.'s choices to two when he said: "So sit the hell down, or I'll knock your ignorant ass into next week...."

"O" is on-message
« Reply #14962 on: September 23, 2007, 11:24:01 am »
Jack provided more on-message remarks to L. D. after his initial address of "Sit down, you old son of a bitch!": "This is my house!  This is my child!  And you're my guest!  Now sit the hell down, or I'll knock your ignorant ass into next week..."

"P" is palpable

The tension in the dining room was palpable after L.D. openly defied Jack by turning the television back on.

"R" is risked

After Jack risked confronting L.D., L.D risked getting his ass knocked into next week if he didn't sit down.

"S" is squeezes
« Reply #14965 on: September 23, 2007, 12:18:53 pm »
Jack describes how Lureen squeezes every zero she can for L.D.'s company. 

 "All I'm sayin' is, what's the point to makin' it? If the taxes don't get it, the inflation eats it all up.
You should see Lureen, punchin' numbers in her adding machine, huntin' for extra zeros, her eyes gettin' smaller and smaller, it's like watchin' a rabbit tryin' to squeeze into a snakehole with a coyote on its tail."

"T" is thoughtlessly
« Reply #14966 on: September 23, 2007, 12:22:16 pm »
Thoughtlessly assuming that his stud-duck status extended to his son-in-law's house, L.D. took the carving tools from Jack and began slicing up the turkey.

"U" is unsportsmanlike

L.D. was being unsportsmanlike when he refused to play by his host's rules to turn off the football.

'V' is for voluntarily
« Reply #14968 on: September 23, 2007, 04:05:24 pm »
Going against the wishes of his host, L.D. voluntarily arose from his seat three times, attempting to turn the television set back on during the Thanksgiving meal.

"W" is worrier
« Reply #14969 on: September 23, 2007, 04:37:59 pm »
L.D. was a constant worrier of Jack and the whole family; and he seems to have hit a new low on Thanksgiving Day.

def - source of nagging concern or uneasiness.
