(pronounced KUV-nee to rhyme with 'above me'... sorta.) (n.) 1. "The Ratio" in Irish, i.e., the ratio of marshmallows to the oat cereal bits (cat foods) in Lucky Charms. (in my (very bad) Irish, _Coibhneas idir adh go bia chait_ or "the Ratio between luck and catfood.") 2. The number of hypothetical chimipanzees versus the length of time it would take before one of them poured themselves a bowl of Lucky Charms with no marshmallows at all. 3. The ratio of good things to bad in one's life (the marshmallows are the 'good'). 4. The ratio of people trying to do something you like (the marshmallows) to people who are just getting int he way (the catfood). 5. An obvious choice: 'Coibhneas vs. catfood.'
