Coin a phrase...: NHL

Coin a phrase...

Do you love playing with language? Join me in creating new phrases, metaphors, words, similes, slogans, etc. Periodically, I'll post a tired old phrase and you send me a fresh, new phrase that has the 'same' meaning. Or, I'll send you a description that begs for a new word and you send me a possible new word. Who knows? Maybe your new phrase or word will catch on. Maybe the phrase you coin will bring you fame and coin!

About Me

Name: A.J. McCaffrey

Location: central Massachusetts

I have been a elementary school teacher and a computer programmer. Now I am a doctoral student in cognitive science studying the brainwaves of the 'aha' moment and how two concepts combine to make a new concept. Experiencing the 'aha' moment gives me a sense of wonder and awe. As long as I can remember I have always been trying to feel that wonder and awe so I constantly try to think 'outside the box' and see 'more than is there.' My puzzles and stories reflect this.

NHL

Top Ten Uses for the letters "NHL"

Now that the National Hockey League has canceled its season, the letters "NHL" are free to have new meanings this year.

Create a new meaning for what "NHL" stands for.

If I get some good ones, I'll send them to The Late Show with David Letterman for its "Top Ten List."

Examples: (send in a short description also, if necessary)
New Hampshire Liberals (a small group)
Never Have Luck (a support group for unlucky people)
