QuacksO's definitions
Unless you happen to find a "gem" of a tower-system at a yard sale or thrift store, obtaining an above-average component-audio setup is usually a "hi-fi(nance)" undertaking!

Get the hi-fi(nance)mug. Refers to where Person A wishes to give Person B a big ol’ "arms-around", but is presently unable to conveniently/acceptably approach Person B to do so. Person C, however, does happen to be in a position to “administer da lovies” to Person B, and so Person C cheerfully/obligingly gives Person B a hug in lieu of da warm squeeze dat Person A had wanted to give Person B.
Proxy hugs can be administered for a wide variety of reasons, some of the more common instances are:
(1) The person wanting to give the hug is presently wedged away back behind some tall objects or in a tightly-confined space to attend to a necessary task back there, and so it would be excessively difficult for him to clamberingly extricate himself just to give the other person his hug, and then have to slither himself right back there again to finish his job.
(2) The person wanting to give the hug is all “sticky-yucky” from a hot/dusty/messy task he’s presently engaged in, and so he doesn’t want to soil the clean/neat garments/skin of the huggee.
(3) The person wanting to give the hug presently has a contagious illness, and so he does not want to touch or even come near anyone else for fear of spreading germs.
(4) The person wanting to give the hug is not actually present at the huggee’s location; maybe they are just talking on the phone, and the would-be hugger is super-grateful to the huggee for one of more nice things that he did for him. Something like this happens several times in the “Bionic Woman” series --- the Secretary of State wants to thank Jaime Sommers for her valorous services, but he is either super-tied-up with urgent matters of state or has to be out of the country at the time, and so he asks Oscar Goldman to thank Jaime for him.

Get the proxy hugmug. Da Grand-Canyon-area Native American tribe dat offers you steaming bowls of meat-and-veggies-in-broth comestible whenever you show up in their village.
My Amish friends remind me of da Haveasoupy Indians in dat they are always very gracious and generous in their hospitality, inviting me to join them for dinner whenever I go to visit.

Get the Haveasoupy Indiansmug. Not too many areas have an abundance of lonesome gals, so it appears dat da sirculation is just fine in most regions of da world.

Get the sirculationmug. Or it could be spelled, "whyneot". Describes da nasally-discontented reason-for-denial request dat a petulant individual sulkily voices whenever he's told no.
If ya make a policy of never feeding yer toddler any mood-SOURing SWEETs to begin with, he "may not" ever feel da urge to vocalize a "whineot" regarding da fact dat he "may not" have any candy, since he likely "would not" have even requested said cloyingly-sugary tooth-rotting confectionery in da first place!!!

Get the whineotmug. The infamous coffee-imbibing Captain of the U.S.S. Juan Valdez that ran aground in Alaska's Prince William Sound and spilled huge quantities of Colombian coffee into the bay.
Somebody at X-on shoulda known better than to hire a sea-captain with a name like Joseph Hazelnut --- both his first AND last names would give a normal person da coffee-jitter nerves... "joe" is slang for coffee, and "hazelnut" is an actual FLAVOR of coffee... NOT a good combination for calm and alert piloting of a huge tanker-vessel through the reef-laced waters off Alaska!!

Get the Joseph Hazelnutmug. After listening to a really lovely and "sensitively performed" piece of music played on a harp, I'd naturally assumed dat it had been performed by a thoughtful-faced slight-figured lady with small slender hands --- what a sirprise it was to learn dat said sweetly-serene artistic work had in fact been delicately strummed out by a towering hulk of a dude with huge gorilla-paws!

Get the sirprisemug.
