"Butts to the wind" (from MNRF):
When a group of performers are talking, or interacting in a small group, all facing each other, but too close together to actually involve the audience in what they are doing.
(Sometimes veterans used to call it out to performers who were just having a private conversation/huddle on the street to remind them they were "on stage" and pay attention to your audience)
When you die can you donate your body to pseudo-science?

I am personally surprised I have not seen the following term listed!

Bodice-gasm: The great feeling of relief upon removing your bodice/corset after wearing it 8 - 10 hours.

Haha, awww. Taking off my corset is the worst part of my day. It's like, "Oh, hey, I'm suddenly bloated and lacking support... ??? "

This does not ONLY apply to bodices or corsets.  It is also experienced by those of us that traipse around in leather armor for 8 - 10 hours.

"Snoopy Noses"
A new term I just learned. It comes from Renfairs on the "left coast" and refers to the appearance of breasts which are unsupported and hanging over an undercut bodice.

I think I have to add that to my glossary at http://www.historicgames.com/glossary.html

If that be the case, you're not explaining it to her right.  As I told my wife "I'm a lech, and when I am at faire, I am going to lech as much as possible.  BUT, There is a line that shall nay be crossed, and I know whose bed my boots will be under at night".  (She told me the same thing about her flirtation).  As long as you both acknowledge there is a limit to what you can do, then all should be well as long as you both honor the agreement.
