DOG scan
Opposite of a CAT scan which checks out your "internal workins" for injuries/defects, this electromagnetic-field survey checks for anomalies OUTSIDE of the body, such as the presence of demons or other unwanted less-than-genial spiritual "hitchhikers". Not endorsed by the AMA or any other "official" medical organization --- but then what do those highfalutin narrow-minded "blindly-going-by-the-book" lame-brains know, anyway??? --- but is touted as surprisingly effective by many people, especially ones who are into wiccan/meditative healing.
I felt really wound up from having nightmares and other moderate mental disturbances, so I made an appointment for a DOG scan. Da quiet-mannered hippie-fella who administered the test was really kind and sympathetic during the procedure, and then afterwards he performed a free banishing-seance on me; I do indeed feel noticeably calmer and sleep more peacefully since then. Da long-haired dude also loaned me a couple books on alternative healing and thinking, which I am currently perusing in my spare time.
hand-stack
A playful "being sociable" game where ya "layeringly" stack up yer hands with those of one or more friends, then ya yank yer "bottom" hand out from da pile and place it on top of da stack of hands, then the next person yanks his hand out from da bottom of da stack and places it on top, and so on.
I love playing circle of friends wif all da pretty girls I meet in da town square, but if we have da use of a picnic table or other elevated flat surface, I also enjoy sharing a round or two of hand-stack wif da cuties afterwards --- nuthin' quite so good at bringing da delighted/amused giggles outta dem.

embracing for the worst
Kissing cousin to the term, "I'm bracing for the worst", this term refers to when Person A is about to go through what may likely be "Hell in a handbasket", and so Person B is holding him close 'n' tight to reassure him and encourage him to not feel quite so distressed or afraid.
Young mother who's soothingly cradling a slight-figured blonde-pigtailed toddler on her knee in a doctor's waiting room: My little one's gonna have blood-work done for the first time, and so I'm embracing for the worst --- she's insanely petrified of needles, exactly like her Mama when I was her age. So not only will my holding her super-tight help her to feel safer and comforted while the syringe is being used, but it will also keep her terrified little body rock-steady in spite of her fears, and so the procedure can go off as quickly, cleanly, and painlessly as possible.

progressively sociable
Refers to an "incrementally moving up the scale" degree of "closeness" --- i.e., gently 'n' gradually narrowing the "aura" of personal space --- between yourself and someone else, till you've eventually proceeded from merely sitting across from the person all the way up to being either tightly wrapped around him or bodily plastered overtop of him on the bed/couch or on the grass in your back yard.
My neighbor's furry black Lab realized that I was getting bored and lonesome while I was sitting in the front yard to wait for his master to get home, and so he sympathetically performed the classic friendly-canine "progressively sociable" routine on me --- first sitting at my feet and letting me smooth his forehead and riffle his fluffy ears, then scooching forward a bit and placing his front paws on my shoe-lacings, then gently nudging my chest backwards with his head so that he could move his paws up onto my shins, then easing on up even closer to me so that I'd slide my legs down flat and he could rest his paws on my kneecaps, then moving up further to place his paws on my hips, then again using his head to softly lean me even further back, and so on --- till he had me totally lying flat on my back and he had fully stretched out and settled himself on top of me. Kinda weird --- not to mention heavy --- having a huge fuzzy 90-pound dog resting peaceably on top of me, but I realized he meant well, and that he was merely trying to ensure that I didn't feel quite so lonely from waiting till his master got back.

Murphy's Law of Cigarette Smoke
"No matter how many times that you and a smoker change places/locations while spending time together outdoors, the breeze is always gonna switch around and waft the tobacco-fumes directly past your face."
I absolutely totally love my new middle-aged lady-friend, but we both go absolutely crazy trying to avoid bothering me with the smoke whenever she needs a cigarette while we're going for a rowboat-ride or woods-trail hike --- sounds like a classic case of "Murphy's Law of Cigarette Smoke"!

do the Hohners
Refers to where you perform a musical number on a classic Hohner-brand harmonica to salute/recognize someone's exceptional achievement/status.
"Dancing With The Stars" host: And now here's a splendid harmonica-chorus rendition of "Annie Laurie", a favorite traditional folk-song in celebration of our winners --- Johnny Puleo and the Chimes Family will do the Hohners.
