Lapitizers: /lap-i-tize-ers/ Saturday night was the last straw for Ed. Grabbing a bite to eat out in public with June was just too humiliating. He had overlooked the time that ripped open the Cheetos bags (hers AND his) at the bus stop to lick the cheese.

Etymology: lap and appetizers Created by: lumina.
