Bums Away!

Yes, they scream "Bums Away!" when they jump off of things - which they do a lot, particularly in their bedroom, where Daniel's bureau is right next to the bed - kind of bungee without the cord.

I was intrigued as to how the phrase had changed, if very slightly, from the original one used in society-at-large, so I asked Ian where they got that expression from. He explained to me that he had taught Daniel "Bombs Away!", but Daniel preferred "Bums Away!", so that's what they say now.
