Turtle

1. What Kirby does when he's scared and doesn't have time to find a bed to hide under, as in "he went turtle," "he's in turtle mode," "he did a full-on turtle." Consists of making oneself into as small a ball as possible and pretending to be oblivious to the outside world. Sometimes accompanied by trembling.
2. The University of Maryland Terrapins, as in "fear the turtle." A local favorite inside the Beltway, but some of us get sick of hearing about it.
