Feedback Needed

OK, so although I am the family member with the HR job, my sister is the true peacemaker and does a wonderful job seeing both sides. However, in an effort to do some "Conflict Resolution" training PRIOR to our trip, we are each choosing one word to use whenwe have reached the end of our rope. This word, when used, will signal that we are done. Don't taunt, joke with or even talk to us anymore - just let us have our space (even if it is only 12 square inches in the RV. ) And if you do make the mistake to keep talking to us, then you have been warned - it's your own fault for what may happen. As you can see, though, we are attempting to keep the humor alive, even as we warn each other to just stay back.

Heather - Obama (she is the only Democrat on the trip - bless her liberal heart...)
Mom - Loosey Goosey (Mom likes to have plans set and this word helps her be flexible - go MOM!)
Dad - ???
Gabe - ???
Laura - ???
Zack - does he really need a word - not sure...
Ella - pretty sure that tears will be in place of a word for her

Thanks for your suggestions - Here's to Survivor: Europe!

Yes, now the only concern is that she will become vice president and hire an assassin to kill Obama so she can take over.

Hi Heather, Remember your Dad was born old and hasn't aged gracefully.

My word is simply a sound:

CHI-CHOOK

which is the sound of a shot gun being loaded.
