debachle

A major screw-up regarding either everyone's favorite rebellious 18th-century classical-music composer or da smokin'-hot actress who played Daisy Duke.

Da Hollywood-famous "Catherine B" once had a major wardrobe-malfunction on set, and so if said "whoopsie in da modesty department" event had happened in front of da great "Johann B", even he --- while indeed being infamous for boldly "breaking new ground" as far as musical styles went, was still very conservative and proper in his general "beliefs 'n' behavior" --- might have been so shocked and nonplussed dat it would have interfered with his being able to correctly compose/perform his music at da time, and thus said situation might have resulted in a major "double debachle".

mopposition

Less-than-favorable responses when either bucket-and-Swiffer chores are assigned, or someone shows up with an inelegant hairdo.

I wonder if da Little Red Hen's "friends" gave her a wailing storm of mopposition when she asked them to help her clean up da kitchen after a huge boisterous feast?

purrmission

The consent to allow "physical socializing" (petting, cuddling, etc.) that a cat gives you by emitting his classic "contented thunder" sound, letting you know that he's "in the mood for lovies".

Our new kitten is somewhat high-strung, so I always make sure to get purrmission before I pick him up.

Tales of Hoffman

A musical work written by Jacques Offenbach; it exults the lives of famed Hollywood actors Dustin L. and Philip S.

The Tales of Hoffman were written by an excellent musician, excellent musician. Yeah, he's an excellent musician; he was my MAIN MAN way back when. Jeopardy is on at eight.

Reese-eipt

Da crinkly-paper "paid --- thank you" strip dat you'd be wise to hold onto for at least a day or two after your purchase, just in case you need to prove dat you weren't da one who swiped an orange-wrappered candy bar from da local convenience-store.

I've never actually been accused of shoplifting --- even just a candy bar --- but I still save my Reese-eipt for a few days after da sale --- better safe than sorry, ya know??

inhareted

Da type of sassiness, cleverness, and imperviousness to thorn-bushes dat Brer Rabbit possessed.

Having a prolific breeding-rate --- and an exceptional willingness of both genders to "do it" all da time --- is an inhareted tendency dat many coochie-craving dudes (and a number of less-attractive biddies, also) wish humans possessed.
