QuacksO's definitions

parlor trick

What da spider famously tried to play on da fly through verbal enticement --- i.e., inviting in said buzzy being with promises of fine and homey accommodations.
Even modern-day folks could take a lesson from Mary Howitt's early-1800's kiddie-poem --- there are always gonna be plenty of deceitful shysters around who will try all number of "parlor tricks" on you in an attempt to lure you into their "webs of deception", such as financial scams, empty promises of romance, false/exaggerated claims or destitution, etc.

lobottomy

Da alternative type of brain-surgery operation dat you'd hafta perform on someone who's always "had his head up his a**".
I wonder if a dude who is always "looking for a piece of tail" would also be someone who'd need a lobottomy to cure him of said undesirable behavior??

perioddicals

Regularly-published reading-matter dat details da less-commonplace issues and events.
Rather than having separate sawdusty-dry magazines/newspapers and perioddicals, why not just mix in a bit of both types of news into one publication, so dat readers can feel moderately interested in said publication's content during da whole process of reading it from cover to cover?

oridginal flavor

Da much-loved traditional recipe for grooved potato chips.
Da classic salt-'n'-vinegar potato chips are okay, but I love da oridginal flavor kind even better 'cuz they hold da dip better than da smooth-surfaced wafers do.

grunch

Not to be confused with the cantankerous hairy green sneaky-smile dude who hates Chris --- oops, I should say, da "winter holidays" --- this terms refers to the grating nerve-jarring noise made by a crabbily-dissatisfied person while chewing a less-than-pleasant-textured food in lieu of some more-palatable snack. The disgruntled person shovels in a big mouthful of said hard/lumpy comestible, presses his cheek firmly against the ear of whoever served him said "delightful delicacy" and then begins chomping slowly and irritably (making "grumpy crunch" sounds) in order to inflict maximum auditory annoyance on said stingy host, whom the eater strongly feels should have been more willing/capable of providing him with a more pleasant repast (i.e., crispy-fresh potato chips instead of somewhat-stale veggie-wafers or salt-free corn-chips which not only taste disgusting but are also now as hard as a rock because nobody else wanted to eat 'em either, and so they have been just sitting around for two weeks! Extra points if the unhappy chewer thinks to actually **add* a portion of even more "noisy" food --- like dry-roasted peanuts --- to the disgusting mix prior to falling to, since it will make said grunching all the more grindingly-deafening and thus hopefully more "persuasive" to the host, and compel him to make a trip to the supermarket or corner-grocery in search of more pleasant edibles.
Thrifty-minded parent: I always keep a little cello-pouch of disposable earplugs in my shirt-pocket, so that I can pop 'em in whenever I serve my teenage son a snack of leftovers... not only does it save my having to listen to his whiny complaining, but it also prevents my eardrums from "direct assault" while he's grunching his way through the bowlful. The food I give him is plenty good enough, and he needs to learn about economizing and being non-wasteful... I've told him a thousand times that (A) I'm not made of money and (B) there are children starving in Africa, and so I am NOT going to let perfectly good food just get thrown away, or make a special trip to Kroger's just to satisfy his discriminating palate!

austeer

A deadpan-humorless cowboy or driving instructor.
Seeing a huge lumbering castrated male cattle-specimen is easy, so there's usually no need to be auSTEER about teaching a wheelman-in-training to STEER clear of said STEER.
