Anne Murray weather

Refers to where there are a few rain-sprinkles during an otherwise mild balmy day.

As it happens, I am actually all set in da romantic department, so da only reason dat it's "Raining In My Heart" is dat I was hoping to get some work done outdoors, but it's been Anne Murray weather off and on all morning!

cymbalize

To represent something using huge round metal "crash-'n'-bash" percussion instruments.

Huey Lewis's "Power Of Love" has an awesome opener dat really cymbalizes da exceptional talent of da performers, musical-arrangers, and composers of da entire piece.

Live long and prosper

He doesn't tell you how to accomplish that, though.

Leonard Nimoy was famous for saying, "Live long and prosper." He himself seems to have accomplished that thanks to his good looks and pleasant personality, but I wish he would have explained to all of us about how to do it ourselves.

Singapour

An Asian country where it rains heavily.

There actually is a lot of precipitation in said equatorial commonwealth, so da term "Singapour" is indeed an accurate way to jokingly describe it.

arseon

The criminal act of "lighting a fire" under someone's posterior in an attempt to get him to agree with you or otherwise do what you want.

Bill Clinton told Monica Blewinsky to keep her trap shut about his infidelity with her; a clear case of arseon, if you ask me.

Macho Picchu

Da mid-second-millennium Peruvian municipality where da guys engaged in lots of chest-thumping and super-manly behavior.

Nobody likes big blow-hard dudes who overbearingly strut their stuff, so it's no wonder dat Macho Picchu "went da way of da dodo" back in da 1500's.

Pilcheerfuls

Da lesser-known shipload of 17th-century voyagers to da New World who had more light-hearted dispositions than their "grim" counterparts, and so a greater number of them survived da harsh New England weather, plus they had a more harmonious relationship with da local Natives.

Maybe if da original seekers of religious freedom in America had lightened up a bit, they might have fared better, the way the Pilcheerfuls did.
