Surpass
It Surpasses! - Pamela Harper
Origin
For several months, Pamela, Kevin, and Sean studied karate at a local dojo. While sparring in class, one night, Pamela hurt her foot quite badly, necessitating a trip to the emergency room. While the prognosis was good, it was clear Pamela wouldn't be returning to karate for a while. While joking with Pamela later, Kevin went on a playful rant about how, with her out of class for a while, Kevin would "surpass" her in karate achievement. As part of his animated speech, Kevin added a gesture with the word (see picture). The rant had its intended effect with Pamela bursting into laughter.
Pamela picked up on the word and gesture and soon spread the fun throughout the family.
Usage
Anything of particular noteworthiness or any act of excellence amongst Clan McNulty may be recognized by one of the family members as "surpassing." When ever the term "He (she/it/they/etc.) surpasses (surpassed)..." is uttered, all family members must make the corresponding gesture.
