Slick Willy's definitions

contextricate

Convenient one word term for the otherwise clumsy "take out of context". Obviously derived from context and extricate (latter meaning to elaborately and deviously withdraw from a precarious situation). This is new coinage - you heard it on Urban Dictionary first.

The attorney contextricated his client's ex-wife tennis lessons on summer afternoons to give them the appearance of a tawdry romance ostensibly culminating in a tryst.

frazzle

to stress and distract; usually used in passive voice: to be frazzled = to be distracted and stressed; usually to the point of annoyance, anger, depression; opposite of focused, serene, and productive.

The shortened form, fraz, is a silicon age shortening meaning bombarded with email, instant messages, cell phone calls, etc. to the point of distration.

Thought to be an amalgam of frustrated, fried, and hassled.

The reception was frazzled as part of her daily routine of answering phone calls and directing visitors to the correct offices.

The cell phone and blackberry frazzed poor Matt 24/7.

To cause a mate to be without orgasms, or restricted in arousal. To keep restricted within a chastity device: for women, to prevent penetration; for men, to prevent erection and fondling. See cbt. See also tease.

Marriage for this unusual couple marked the beginning of his frustration: she chastised him for weeks at a time, while consorting and cavorting herself with his best friends and neighbors.

Achtung

The sound of hocking, and then aiming the hock to perfectly hit the rim of the spitoon to make the "-tung!!" sound. It made everyone pay attention, hence its other, more common definition. Alleged to be the first word in the German language, on which all other words are based.

Acccccccccchhhhh-splat!!!! dammit, let me try again ... don't slip on that ...
Acccccccccchhhhh-TUNGGGG!!!! There ya go!

mosey

It's a culture thing - the antipode of a brother doing the funky broadway, if you come from Texas or Tennessee, you pick up your sour mash and sidle up to that cute chick showing lots of belly, not to scare her off. It is *not* a sashay!!!! Mosey was coined after Mose Allison, jazz pianist

Hey darlin', how about you an' me mosey over to the Motel 6 with us an' the boys, got some Chet Baker

also-ran

neither a loser nor a winner, inescapably more pathetic, less evocative of empathy, less romantic than winner or loser.

The Hollywood starlet had been attracted to champions and to down-and-outlaws, but the milquetoast also-ran in his Ford Pinto didn't even register beyond her retina.
