trappings

Paraphernalia associated with customs, rituals, and holidays.
Fertility symbols such as eggs, rabbits, and maidens dressed in white are appropriate trappings for Easter if you bear in mind that Easter is a pagan godess of fertility.

Parliament

1. The Pink Floyd of Funk.

2. What the UK calls their collective of legislators.
I'll bet the members of Parliament never listen to Parliament.

baby talk

1. The cutesy gibberish uttered by:

a. Babies.

b. Adults talking to babies and pet animals.

2. The genesis of ebonics.
Some peeps' verbal skills are retarded because their families only talk baby talk to them. They never hear a complete sentence until they enter preschool.

Who knows what baby talk does to the minds of dumb animals?

Calistoga

The best domestically produced mineral water, much better than Perrier or that Italian stuff. Like some of the other better things there are to drink, it comes from the geothermal region of California's Wine Country.

Their regular, non-sparkling spring water is just re-branded Arrowhead water, which is the result of both Calistoga and Arrowhead having been bought out by Nestlé.
If you must have mineral water that's better than Calistoga, get Topo Chico from Mexico.

Check it out

Phrase from the 60s and 70s, meaning this is so cool, you have to look at it.
Check it out! Don't you wish you had one of those?

moronotorist

1. Literally, a motorist who is a moron.

2. A motorist who drives irresponsibly, at the risk of bodily harm or death to self, passengers, and other motorists. A moronotorist passes on blind curves, passes motorists who are signalling for left turns, drives too fast for visibility and road conditions, ignores warning signs, and neglects ordinary precautions.
Moronotorists on Hwy 395 frequently try to pass you when you're turning left. A lot of them don't wear their seat belts, so they get ejected. Then they get run over by other moronotorists who are driving too fast to see them in time to stop.

Moronotorists would run over the ambulance crew too, so CHP has to stop all traffic going both directions, and the ambulance crew needs squeegees and dust pans to pick up the pieces.
