Remains of the Day

A quandary of time the German Wermacht had to face in the afternoon after their morning's rollover of France. Also an Alan Hopkins movie, which settings and plot occurred in English castle life found to be nuanced of aristocratic Nazi favoritism. These too, had to decide what to do with the remains of the day.

The Livable Sardine Can

A self-mocking quip in answer to a questioning of the quality of your home when in compare to those at the annual Parade of Homes venue. Also demonstrative of the will and resistance to refrain from burning down a row of garishly displayed high-fallutin' mansions.

A phrase derived from the winning entry of the "Parade of Homes for the Down and Out." This is a custom built street person abode. The eclectic Hobo's answer to 'splendid living' and keeping up with 'Hobo Jones' affluent.

A mocking quip directed to you and your kind in gesture as to what you can afford in public housing. Addendum: Such directed quip would also convince one to burn down a row of garishly displayed high-fallutin' mansions.
Said one Hermit Crab to the other: Hey Gatsby, I see your Livable Sardine Can won this year's first prize in the Parade of Homes on Cannery Row contest!

My entry into this years Parade of Homes is The Livable Sardine Can.

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!

Simply Inretweetable

Kruger

Having the same South African values, a Kruger is a poor version of a Krugerrand. See Urban Dictionary definition of Krugerrand.

The same as a Cougar in these states of America, a Kruger too, will prowl the singles bar scene in search of prey..., which is young men. If immigrated to U.S.A., a Kruger can usually be identified by a thick German accent. Hence, the given name, "Greta Garbo Kruger."
I thought that I hooked up with a Krugerrand last night, but when she asked for taxi fare this morning came the realization that she was just a Kruger looking for a free fun time!

Witty Banter

This definition is accredited by means of going directly to the source of "Witty Banter" - England.

According to newly researched anthropological studies across the Big Pond, this form of human communication is best deciphered by its mood altering characteristics.

It is while playing Badminton, when two strictly Protestant, English homosexual men or women increase their sexual drive by striking at the "Birdie" and at the same time say something nuanced of their forthcoming and imminent carnal encounter. These statements describing said act, increase both subject's hormonal activity, which can then be monitored by the guttural inflection of voice.
Said one anthropology student to another, "Their exchange of witty banter could almost consider as orgasmic in deployment!"
