embracing for the worst

Kissing cousin to the term, "I'm bracing for the worst", this term refers to when Person A is about to go through what may likely be "Hell in a handbasket", and so Person B is holding him close 'n' tight to reassure him and encourage him to not feel quite so distressed or afraid.

Young mother who's soothingly cradling a slight-figured blonde-pigtailed toddler on her knee in a doctor's waiting room: My little one's gonna have blood-work done for the first time, and so I'm embracing for the worst --- she's insanely petrified of needles, exactly like her Mama when I was her age. So not only will my holding her super-tight help her to feel safer and comforted while the syringe is being used, but it will also keep her terrified little body rock-steady in spite of her fears, and so the procedure can go off as quickly, cleanly, and painlessly as possible.

demotional support

Refers to assistance/comforting to help someone deal with "fallout of feelings" caused by his having been given a lower position on the corporate ladder than he'd formerly held.

I'm all for giving someone demotional support if he truthfully did little or nothing to deserve being given a lower-paying/importance job than he'd previously had, but someone's being "suspended with pay, pending investigation" or some other bu**s**t like that when he obviously/blatantly DID screw up is really pathetic.

jillpot

A found/won fortune made by Jack's female water-fetching partner.

A modern-day parody of the famous Mother Goose nursery-rhyme involves the clear-elixir-of-life-toting duo's smoking weed together; perhaps what they each inhaled could be labeled as "jackpot" and "jillpot"?

constipaytion

Tongue-in-cheek reference to a "tightwad's" significant reluctance to "release da goods" at da expected times.

Ethan Couch claimed "affluenza" as da excuse for his irresponsible behavior, but then he had a major case of "constipaytion" when it came to actually answering for his misdeeds!

dadjustment

Careful tweaking dat Mom asks her male spouse to perform on a child whom she either cannot seem to reform herself, or feels dat approaching said offspring from masculine perspective might be more appropriate and/or effective.

Da term "dadjustment" could also refer to any of da assorted "learn how to be a proper gentleman" reformations dat Maggie was always trying to accomplish wif Jiggs (usually wif little or no success, naturally!).

voluntear

Refers to either:
(1) Work performed for free because some tearful moocher came "bawling 'n' blubbering" to you with some "poor poor pitiful me" sob-story about being in an emergency with no money to pay anyone to help him get out of it, or
(2) Work performed for free that absolutely "bores you to tears".

That old miser on his fancy estate has been snookering soft-hearted dim-wits into helping him for free for years now, but I hear that a lot of them have finally gotten wise to him --- zheeeesh, how many naive-minded voluntears does he think actually exist in his local area???

triple-f greeting

Stands for "Fake Fist-Fight" greeting, and denotes the playful-macho act of two best buds joyfully saying hello by grinningly taking a few wild swings at each other, but of course never having any of the flailing punches actually "land"; both greeters purposely "swing wide" so that they safely miss each other every time.

An alternative to the triple-f greeting --- often practiced by sturdy-figured tomboys --- is to take huge "sweeping" kicks in each other's directions, while simultaneously trying not to topple over backwards themselves. Both of these actions may seem fun and "free-spirited", but there is always a definite risk of real injury with them; I prefer simple hugs and handshakes myself.
