oarganically grown 

Planted and tended aboard a rowboat instead of on a motorized skiff.
Da double-ended dinghy Tidely-Idley was fitted with a make-and-break engine so dat Burt Dow didn't hafta paddle it when he went to fish for cod; his other boat was no longer launchable, and so he'd filled it with earth and planted geraniums and Indian peas --- does this mean dat said flowers were oarganically grown??

commondear 

To remove a particular adorable cutie from da dating pool and designate her as a "public chick" whom everyone can love and cuddle wif, but who may not be "snatched up" for an exclusive relationship by any individual bachelor.
Neighborhood grandmas have traditionally been "old maid" individuals --- i.e., they have never been married --- and so I wonder if some of them started out as commondeared teenagers.
