Many children love "playing doctor", anyway, and so having a gauzeling or two in da day-care center could come in handy for said aspiring surgeons, since these medical-personnel-parented youngsters might have some actual experience from having watched Mom or Dad applying salves and wrappings to their patients, and could therefore guide their fellow little ones while they practice basic boo-boo-dressing procedures on each other.

What your undertaker-beau sorrowfully tells you when he is obliged to decline your request for a "moonlight stroll" because he has an urgent job in the burial-cellar of the monastery that will likely keep him busy till well past midnight. A really "heavy" statement that totally "weighs you down" emotionally, but what are ya gonna do?
My main squeeze unexpectedly hadda assist da local priest in giving last rights to a recently-deceased fellow member of the clergy in the church basement this evening, and so he was obliged to sadly shake his head and tearfully tell me, "cryptonight". He did manage to get done with said job a bit earlier than he'd expected, though, and so he was eventually able to race home and change and then come and pick me up, after all; due to the late hour, we couldn't have a full-length date like we normally would, of course, but at least we still got to stretch out on the quiet wharf for half an hour, savoring the soft lapping of the waves on the pilings, and gazing up at all da friendly twinkling stars.

Da branch of science concerned wif da nature, effects, and detection of unwise and/or hostile verbal communication.
Riverdale High School chef Miss Beazley quit in a frenzied paroxysm of huffy indignation at Mr. Patton Howitzer's blatant verbal abuse towards her regarding her revolting/sub-standard cooking; she should recommend dat he have a talksicology study performed on him.

A "consuming" style of living dat involves spending significant time and resources while partaking of da various "sights 'n' delights" at one or more small multi-store shopping malls. Considered to be just a "basic and bare-bones" existence by today's advertising-jaded youth.
A classic "grim grins" example of "minimallist living", from an old late-'80's-era "teenagers and their parents" type comic strip:
Exasperated father, speaking on the telephone: "Look --- will you quit bugging us?! I already told you --- Junior is grounded until he gets his grades back up, and so he CAN'T GO TO THE MALL TODAY!"
Mother: "Oh, honey --- you shouldn't talk to our son's friends that way! It's only natural that they'd miss seeing him at the mall!"
Exasperated father: "Our son's friends?! That was the MALL MANAGER on the phone!"

What a practicer of voodoo claims after leaving said creepy lifestyle behind and moving far away north near da Canadian border.
