FAB-First Available Boxer:
(1) describes the first Boxer a Boxerholic sees while away from his or her Boxer(s). Commonly used by said human to get a Boxer fix to tide him/her over until he/she returns home to his/her Boxer(s). (2) what some people waiting to adopt a rescue boxer are waiting for.
Fancier:
Degree to which some gentlemen handlers dress more than others.
Farrah-Fawcett look:
when the Boxer flews and (natural) ears fly back in the breeze to give an attractive windswept look! Particularly fetching when slobber is dripping off the Boxer's face at the same time.
Fawn; Yellow:
two colors that average out to a light brown; brown, ranging from light tan to mahogany.
Fawn coat sequence:
(from light to dark) Light fawn->fawn->stag or mahogany
Feathering:
What winners are accused of doing to judges' nests.
F.E.F.:
frantic eye fluttering. The boxer equivalent of R.E.M. (rapid eye movement) sleep.
Find It! game:
put the dog on a sit stay. Sort of hide the snack. At the beginning be pretty obvious about it. Go back to the dog and say Find It! You always want the dog to find the snack. Sometimes you may have to walk towards where it is, if the dog seems confused. Watch those boxer mushes hit the ground.
Flashy:
a boxer with a significant amount of white markings on their legs, face, and/or collar. Dogs are disqualified (in shows) if they are more than 1/3 white and white cannot appear on the torso proper. There are gradations between "plain," "semi-flashy" and "very flashy," and the definitions of each vary according to the individual making the description.
Flat out like a lizard drinking:
comes from the fact that lizards in Australia mainly live in the very arid desert regions, and when they find water, they drink like there is no tomorrow (because if you are searching for water there might not be!!). To drink they are stretched flat out and go 100 to 1 at the water.
F.L.E.A.:
Floppy Ears Anonymous Club.
Flew fluffle; Woofles:
when they kind of purse their lips in and out while sticking their heads into the air, hoping to get a sniff of something (or a BETTER sniff of something!); not hestitating to put food on you after eating; flews (usually-moist, always soft and velvety, and often festooned with dinner-debris) against pant legs, skirts, suits and tee shirts. Usually the degree of festooning is in direct proportion to the cleanliness or cost of the garment at the receiving end.
Flew flotsam:
the bits and pieces of food, etc., that end up floating in the water bowl when a boxer takes a drink after eating.
Flewforter:
a comforter that has been boxerranged. (See "Boxerrangement"); also can refer to the boxer itself, when it has snuggled so that its flews cover and warm a portion of human anatomy.
Flews:
the extra skin (jowls) that hang off the side of the muzzle, and they kind of, well... fluffle!
Fletter:
an exhale which flutters the flews
Flug:
the tasty blend of flew-borne material which could pass the NASA trials for "space age lubricant". Hence, we often speak of getting "...fluffled with Mug's flew flug..". [See Mooshie juice, goobers]
Flying nun ears:
description of uncropped boxer ears.
French Kiss:
what you get when you laugh a bit too hard around a licking Boxer. (see also Deep Throat)
Four legged hoofing dance:
tearing up grass after relieving itself; a way of marking territory by leaving their scent behind.
Frog dog; Flying frog, sky-diver:
the position assumed when a boxer is lying down and the legs are pointed away from the body; sliding the front of the body off the couch, leaving the hind legs in the flying frog. Support the front part of the body with the legs on the floor and, if possible, rest the head on the coffee table to look extra cute.
Front:
Part of the dog often stacked toward the outside of the ring.
Full-body lean:
it happens when the said Boxer is not satisfied with the amount of petting he/she had just received. In our case, it's a method of communication, "Excuse me, I don't think you're finished, you haven't forgotten me have you?"
Full-body nudge:
which is an added little reminder which usually occurs in the sitting position.
Full-butt lean:
The law of mass tonage; when a boxer comes up on the couch and stands over you while you're watching TV. Front feet on one side and back feet on the other. Then when they're ready, they just throw their backside onto you - somewhere between your chest and lap. They may eventually end up sitting in your lap or just leaning their butt on you. Its as if they're too lazy to stand up straight.
Full-body blow dry:
When you are blow-drying your hair, they push open the bathroom door (little buggers scare the *lights* out of you half the time) come over and turn their butts to you as if to say "OK mom (or Dad), my turn". They'll wait there until you give them a few minutes under the dryer. And you have to hit all areas - back, belly, chest, butt, behind the ears.
Full-speed shoulder barge attack:
as boxer #2 is running along, boxer #1 will gallop to catch boxer #2 and while running along side boxer #2, boxer #1 throws itself at boxer #2's shoulder, it doesn't seem to matter which part of #1's body hits #2. The noise of impact is quite frightening!
