Need some help from United Kingdom or Australia

[Sunday21]

Dear UK and Oz,

You are the very best wordsmiths on the planet. Can you help us out? We need some cool lingo. 

Uk gave us: sleeping policemen (speed bumps), wooly pullies (sweaters), zebra crossings (crosswalks), keep lefties (traffic circles)

Oz gave us: barbies (barbecues), Uni (university), chockers (chock full), esky (cooler, for Eskimo cooler?)

Now we need some cool lds terms! What do we call the women on our visiting teaching list? Surely you have a name for this? What about the feeling just before you break your fast while waiting for some well intentioned but long winded person to say grace? How about the confusion when they reassign the lesson rooms and you need to go walkabout to find your class? Or that wary look on the faces of those trying to avoid the person who assigns talks? 

Help us out here!

Not Autralian or a Brit; but for your first two I'd recommend My Lista Sistas and Cannibalization Craving, respectively.

Good job, you! You are clearly a wordsmith! Love the second contribution especially, gnawing sounds offstage.

I have no idea of any LDS-specific terms, but Adrian Plass (one of my all-time favourite authors) came up with some good phrases on Christianity in general. Two examples:

• "A day-trip back to the pigs" (anyone familiar with the Prodigal Son story will get that allusion)
• "Evangelism machine" (a hot air blower)

Women on the visiting teaching list:  Sheila shortlist

• I gotta run down my sheila shortlist. (I need to contact all my visiting teaching stewardship).

Long-winded blessing on the break-fast meal: Ravens... Rambling Roger

• We've got the ravens waiting on Rambling Roger making the dishwater. (we're starving as the longwinded guy is praying a prayer as dull as dishwater).

Confusion wondering: Willie Wonkers

• Do us a favor.  I got the Willie Wonkers. Someone threw a spanner in the class schedule. (Could you help, please? I'm quite lost trying to find my way because someone rescheduled rooms to who knows where.)

Speech avoidance wariness: Dame Dreadful

• I gave the dogsbody the Dame Dreadful and he started catching flies before he bimbled out. (The gave the messenger a really fearful look.  He stood there with his mouth open before he decided to wander off.)

I realize that the alliteration was not a requirement.  But they're good.
