A note about names:
So I have always assumed that the phrase "tearing toast" was commonly used in many circles. Apparently it's just like the Hog Trough Dance and dunking eggs: only used in my family circle. (In my defense, when your family is as large as mine is -- 42 cousins and counting -- it seems like a huge percentage of the population is using it.)
Okay, so tearing toast...
tear toast
verb + object
1. to separate a slice of bread into pieces by using forces pulled in opposite directions: Along with the fish, Jesus tears toast to share the pieces with the crowd gathered on the summit.
2. to meet a friend / family member / acquaintance at a breakfast food establishment to eat, drink, and share personal stories, with most stories incorporating a hilariously humiliating element: while tearing toast, Carries share an anecdote about her sister's "incident" in the Macy's store bathroom, causing Marilyn to snort coffee up her nose.
Feel free to start spreading the word. Toast should be torn with everyone!
