Queuebert: /kyoÅbÉ™rt/ Albert is obsessed with being first. Whether it’s a new movie or the latest electronic gadget he just has to be at the front of the line.

Perhaps this mania stems from the fact that his mother worked for the railroads and he was born in a caboose.

Travelurgent: /tra vel urj ent/ Travelling with Howie was not fun. He would go to the airport hours before the minimum check-in times just to “get a good seat” on the plane (even though seat selection had been assigned at booking time).

Howie was definitely a travelurgent and his haste in getting to the airport, frequently meant he forgot his tickets, passport and or money on the hallway table.
