When does a WIP become a UFO?

It starts out as a WHIMM (Work Hidden in My Mind.)

After a FART (Fabric Acquisition Road Trip) and some SEX (Stash Enhancing eXperience), it becomes a PIG (Project In a Grocery Sack).

The PIG becomes a HSY (pronounced hissy .... meaning Haven't Started Yet).

Once you have a HSY-fit and begin work, it becomes a WIP (Work in Progress).

The WIP becomes a UFO (UnFulfilled Opportunity....I like that better than Unfinished Object which sounds so negative) as soon as some other project grabs and holds your attention more than the project that was a WIP.
