Orvilled and Dunsworth

To be Orved & Dunzed as the grandchildren would say but yet, still not know exactly why, constitutes this term ever the more humorous as an old money, high society knee-slapper of a joke. When used in its original full length format it can be soothing for the soul as comedic relief by these aristocratic snobs. This tells of their apathy in life, yet humorous notation of tragedy experienced by others same; who through some type of Wall Street disaster, had instantly lost all financial ability to maintain like social standing and living existence.

To be Orvilled and Dunsworthed is to meet financial Armageddon when 'rolled over' are all assets to pay an outstanding liability. To be Orvilled Nothing can dig out, these of the once affluent from said predicament. To be Dunsworthed …Except the grandchildren maybe? Orville Dunsworth is a dug from the grave character in the movie, “Children Shouldn’t Play with Dead Things!”
It's not nice to make fun of the Orvilled and Dunsworthed!

Urban Snow Fence

As noted by New York City Street Police: Taking place in winter, this beat cop coined phrase is metaphorical in meaning, yet actually functional of purpose if conditions right:

This stupid human trick requires a minimum of four unknowing participants and one sleepy-head street dealer of flake cocaine. The phenomena usually takes place on the third calender day of the month, which of course is welfare, disability and social security check arrival time. It is during a blowing snowstorm that four or more appropriately attired individuals wait for said drug dealer. They stand at a light post in an orderly first come first served line. This arrangement, in effect, duplicates the function of a rural snow collecting drift fence.
I didn't know it was the third of the month; would you look at the length of that urban snow fence!

Cyberspace Transgendered

This Phrase epitomizes that to which we have evolved...

If that's what it takes, I can stop the walk and talk the talk like a man all the day long

Or at the drop of a hat, go shopping into the midnight hours..., over at Overstock.com.

I'm just one of the Cyberspace Transgendered..., searching for some internet fun!

...And just take a look at me, you can't see me..., so run tell that...,

I'm an either or... Maybe, even a Cybot that forget from where we come.

The world is an Ad-Hockey Horror Picture Show, tripping in the time warp of our virtually never setting sun!
Look at me, I'm just a Cyberspace Transgendered -- son of a gun!

These Pretzels are Making Me Thirsty

To tire of..., To be weary of..., but yet, keep plodding on, doing what it is that causes the weariness. This catchphrase actually come from the "Sienfeld" sitcom.

However, it is easily applied to the state of mind of an Urban Dictionary Editor who has tired of, and grown weary of having to constantly push the, "Do Not Publish" button while at his/her station and thereby curtail and do away with someone's dream of being published!
These pretzels are making me thirsty; no, actually these dry of humor and non-makable of sense suggestions are driving me crazy!

Counting coup

To Count coup is considered an act of bravery by North American Native Indians.

The ultimate Counting coup scenario, as told by Chief Plenty Coup: To be in declared war with another tribe and by genius stealth or of an outright brazen act to reach his enemy, a warrior had avoided death by flying arrows from afar, spears chucked while in close, even while in the death zone of the intended coup victim's now attacking and slashing knife. This is when the said warrior now slaps his knife wielding enemy on the face and then manages to flee unharmed. The red faced victim of Counted coup is now the embarrassment of his tribe.

To the Anglo-Saxon world an act of Counting coup would be considered an act of glory seeking stupidity. As an example: It would be like getting in a boxing match with Mike Tyson after having just slapped him up-side the face in the pre-bout introductions. On the other hand, if Mike Tyson wanted to even-up on the Counting coup score card, he would toy with this opponent until the last round, and then bite the ear off the side of the opponent's head five seconds before the end of the fight!
Ladies and Gentleman this is the finest Counting coup strategy and deployment I have ever seen! There is simply no recourse!

Feather Plucker Syndrome

A phenomena of human anti-social behavior shown by crack cocaine addicts. Subconsciously, the addict purposely alienates their person from everyone else by the act of self-mutilation. While alone and under the influence, the person does this by looking into the mirror and picking at his/her face until bleeding occurs.

This type of behavior can be likened to the capture and traumatic displacing of a South American Scarlet Macaw. This is now an in country parrot that plucks its feathers out for seemingly no apparent reason at all.

However, stress and detachment, same as the need to be alone with their addicting drugs causes both the addict and bird a horrific disfigurement.
The doctor says to the crack-head, "Young lady, I'm going to suggest that you seek mental treatment; this is the worst case of Feather Plucker Syndrome I have ever seen!"

"There is only one thing worse in this world than a now reformed bible-toting whore: The fact that she used-to-be an opium addicted feather plucker as well!" Gravy111
