Marriage Code: Your Lawyer's Dog
In every marriage (at least, I surmise so) there are certain phrases which evolve over time to have coded meanings for the two of you. Let me translate one of those terms from "Liloia" to English:
Your lawyer's dog:
1. Indicating a large amount of people. He was holding a place in line for his girlfriend, her three friends, their three boyfriends and his lawyer's dog.
2. Any person who has somehow been assigned an importance out of line with their actual relation to the situation at hand. They asked for a reference letter from my high school Biology teacher. Do they also want one from my lawyer's dog?!
