Definitions by QuacksO

The best that could be expected regarding some object, business-establishment, locale, or condition somewhere in the famous --- or maybe "INfamous" would be more fitting way to describe it --- "birthplace of Dallas".
Idealey, John F. Kennedy's motorcade should have included a bulletproof-glass shield over the presidential limo, a different route should have been chosen, it should have been moving faster, and there should not have been any stops along the route of travel.

prospecter 

Da creepily-luminous "ethereal essence" of a passed-on valuable-minerals seeker.
In da Laurel and Hardy film, "Way Out West", The Boys mistakenly give da mining-rights deed to da shameless opportunistic wife of da in-keeper ("Now that you own a mine, I bet you'll be a swell gold-digger!" --- Laurel), rather than da deceased claim-owner's daughter... no "prospecter" is ever observed in da movie, but if da ghost of said paternal benefactor had indeed been witness to said horrendous deception, he'd likely have been "turning over in his grave"!

The Scarlet Pimpinel 

A late-18th-century "double life" dude who pretended to be just a faceless British aristocrat, but in reality would secretly go around treating people's illnesses with herbal remedies, rather than the mainstream "drugs and surgery" methods.
Baroness Orczy always looked quite good, so perhaps she herself was treated by The Scarlet Pimpinel; maybe she even wrote the book about him as a gratitude gesture for his helping to keep her in good health.

stirruptitious 

Describes less-than-obvious actions performed while on horseback.
Since horses can be trained to tread quietly while carrying a rider, you can be more stirruptitious in spying on people by riding a horse than you could in a noisy-engined vehicle.

asstronaut

A perverted individual who uses a telescope to surreptitiously look at other people's behinds.
If a person who's being observed by an asstronaut drops his pants and bends over wif his bared butt directed towards said smutty-minded observer, one could say dat he got "mooned".

Daffydavit

What everyone's favorite crazy cartoon duck would file in court to solemnly attest to da truth of whatever assertions dat he was claiming.
Elmer Fudd's temperishly-spluttering boxing-rival could file all da Daffydavits he wants to regarding both his greatly-disputed pugilistic win against said "gweat, gweat spoowuhtsman" and da self-perceived unfairness of how his own bear-hunting endeavor panned out, but said legal documents wouldn't likely hold much water with a judge or jury, since in both cases there was clearly some heavy-duty cheating --- and blatant rules-breaking --- going on.

degreesonable 

Humane in da temperature or intensity-level department.
Seventy-five on da ol' thermostat is a degreesonable setting --- no shivering or misty-breath, but fairly easy on da heating-fuel consumption, also.
