Monkey's Dad's definitions

formal sex

The opposite of casual sex.

"Save-the-Date" cards are sent, followed by printed invitations requiring an RSVP. There is an unspoken dress and undress code. Invitees are expected to be well-mannered, witty, and clean. Afterwards, a small note of appreciation is well received.
An evening of formal sex was always something to look forward to, a reason to go shopping in the preceding weeks, to attend to hair, nails, makeup. And in the following days, to lightly mention in passing, a source of envy amongst friends.

Doctor Donothing

Doctor Dolittle's more eccentric office-mate. A person so fully connected to the animals that he finds humans strangely exotic.
"Where's Doctor Donothing?"
"Outside, where he's been since four AM, feeding the deer, the squirrels and chipmunks, the birds and the dogs. When I try to talk to him, he looks at me like I belong in an aquarium."

Sortaday and Someday

The days of the weekend during Covid, when time is disordered.
Sorry, not totally sure but I think I'm busy Sortaday and Someday, taking the kids shopping for 'school clothes'. ... The mall?? You're kidding, right? eBay.

Who Cooks for You?

Song of the Barred Owl, by consensus of the ornithological community. Who Cooks for You? Who Cooks for Yooooou-All?, in two groups of four.
The owls were singing to each other, high in the spruce trees, and it always made them smile. Who Cooks for You? Who-Cooks-for-Yooooo-All? One night, they went outside with his guitar and he played it back to them.

op-ed calumnist

An editorial writer engaged in calumny - peddling false and malicious statements about someone, with the intent to inflict damage.
Under a tight deadline, needing a really juicy bit of character assassination, the op-ed calumnist linked Biden to Pizzagate.

becoming real

Moving from a general concept to the inescapably specific.
Seeing a face he knew on the front page of The Times, the first nurse in New York to die of the virus, it was becoming real, no longer a statistic, and other faces would follow.
