arrowgance

What da over-confident Sheriff of Nottingham's dragoons possessed when they first tried pursuing Robin Hood and his Merry Men, not realizing what good riders and sharpshooters said bow-wielding horsemen actually were.

In one famous Dukes of Hazzard car-chase, Boss Hogg's evil henchmen guffawingly scoffed when they saw Bo and Luke using bows and arrows as weapons against the mercs' own seemingly-superior firearms, but their arrowgance was short-lived when one of the Duke Boys' dynamite-tipped arrows exploded their car's engine and thus ended their pursuit for the time being.

Chippewa at it

To gradually labor through a task or conundrum regarding Native American culture.

Preserving and arranging ancient arrowheads in an attractive museum display takes a lot of patience and effort, but if you just Chippewa at it, you'll eventually complete da task.

motell

One of those modern-day inns where they have hidden video-cameras in your room so that they can rat on you to the authorities, your significant other, etc.

Whenever I meet a new chick, I much prefer to either take her home or go camping wif her rather than renting a room --- there are way too many motells nowadays where they fail to keep a "discreet encounter" very discreet!

Imus learn some better manners

What "The Don" should have said to himself before he ever became a radio personality.

It actually took a debate with Al Sharpton to get "The BIG I" to admit that, "Imus learn some better manners" --- yeah, no s**t, Sherlock!

audition and subtraction

What happens when a new movie is being planned --- lots of "hopefuls" go in to try out for various part, but most of them get "taken away" (i.e., rejected) from the pool of possible prospects.

I like watching the "making of" bonus-material in DVDs of famous films... lots of interesting and informative material there. So often, the producers speak about how difficult the process of audition and subtraction was: "There was a lot of really awesome talent that we had to choose from , so it always really hurt us to apologetically tell some of the application that --- while they were indeed very good at what they did --- they just weren't quite what we were looking for in this particular movie.

schoing to ghoul

How it actually feels to a young person when just starting out in his education.

If kindergarten teachers and other faculty would actually take the time and effort to truly make beginner-students feel welcome and unafraid, it would feel a lot less like "schoing to ghoul" to said shy/timid youngsters.
