T is for Trepidation (an uneasy feeling. Like one's imagination going rogue and repeatedly presenting an unacceptable outcome to a new experience. Or asking oneself is this 'adventure' really worth the risk?).

X is for 'X' marks the spot (the indicator on a map which points to where the treasure is buried. It's never stored on a shelf in an air conditioned building to preserve the booty, and stop that moldy smell that may never be scrubbed off).

E is for ... Earth Girls are Easy A lighthearted and goofy 1988 musical comedy which probably would be impossible to release today. However, the aliens are portrayed far more lame than the earth girls.

F is for French Toast (it was French Toast before the U.S. existed [probably], and if it wasn't, it should have been. That means no name changing on this breakfast item. Where's my maple syrup?).

G is for ... Good Grief An exclamation expressing surprise, alarm, dismay, or some other, usually negative emotion. It is an oxymoron as grief is generally not good. And it is often used as a euphemism for “good God” to avoid using God's name in vain.

H is for Holy Hell! (similar to the previous entry, it's a contradiction of terms to express shock, surprise, or dismay at some unexpected, and unacceptable reality).
