  • Short for "critics."

    "The Washington "Julius Caesar" went with a lean four-week rehearsal followed by a four-week preview before the crix arrived." - Variety.com (http://www.variety.com/article/VR1118008878.html?categoryId=15&cs=1)

  • Short for "schedule."

    Found a good example today:

    "Having begun previews Sept. 12, "Hamlet" has a preview sked of nearly four weeks. Tepper Madover says the company doesn’t need the practice -- "they’re ready to go after 12 weeks at the Donmar" -- but the busy autumn sked and the Jewish holidays necessitated a longer preview period than originally anticipated." - Variety (http://www.variety.com/article/VR1118008878.html?categoryId=15&cs=1)

    "I don't follow politics. All that jibberjabber gets on my nerves."

  • Literally means "full of rich dirt," but is used (well it isn't used, but it should be!) figuratively to mean off-color, crude, dirty.

    I try to say or do something ostrobogulous everyday. It helps life stay interesting.

  • Derived from "ostrobogulous," a word coined by British writer Victor Benjamin Neuburg. Means "risqué."
