flagrance-free

Describes laundry detergent dat's not been created using any obviously-illegal/unethical ingredients or practices.

Having no artificial scents is indeed a plus for a particular brand of washing-machine suds-maker, but I'd wanna make sure dat it is flagrance-free, as well, so dat my purchase would not be supporting atrocities like using fake surfacants, employing slave labor, etc.

wreckoncile

To "make up" with someone by demolishing something.

from "I do" to "Adieu"

The typical course run by more than 50% of marriages.

Marriage counsellor: I always advise my "starry-eyed lovebirds" clients to "look at the whole picture" --- i.e., consider the entire scope and details of marriage --- before deciding whether they would truly be a good match for each other... I'd sure hate to see their fairly-tale romance merely proceed from "I do" to "Adieu" like so many of marriages do these days.

bullyache

To whine in an aggressively-manipulative manner to try to pressure others to do your bidding.

The local rioffraff can bullyache to me all they want about needing emergency cash for some family-crisis --- I am NOT shelling out my hard-earned money just so that they can get their drugs or go on shopping-sprees!
