angler-management issues

Describes what a short-fused game-warden possesses when dealing with fishermen.

As an employee of da Department of Natural Resources, da perpetually-hotheaded Bob Stuyvesant would likely have major "angler-management issues", both in his manner while fumingly waiting for said stream-bases sportsmen to hunt through their backpacks to locate their paperwork, and bawlingly lamenting about "da one dat got away" --- i.e., da occasional rod-and-reel wielder who managed to slither off before da overzealous-and-obsessively-by-da-book Bob could have a chance to check his catch or ask to see his license.

boughndary-line

A dividing-perimeter between properties formed by a row of trees.

Even though re-locating surveyor's posts is a serious offense, it is still done quite often. Having your properly marked by a boughndary-line, therefore, is a much more "permanent" solution, since it is a lot harder to move --- one would need to actually dig up the deeply-rooted trees and transport said weighty timber-hulks to another location.

metropolotan

Denotes a "big city" locale where everyone engages in da classic "hockey on horseback" sport right out in da streets.

Perhaps there'd be less frenetic "galloping about" in a metropolotan area if a large plot of land was set aside for a community park where da equestrian riders could go to play their favorite game, resulting in quieter streets and clearer throughways and thus allowing for more serene and uneventful commuting around da business and residential sectors of said urban area.

stattitude

Can refer to either:

(1) a defiant sulky overbearing manner dat a closed-minded person exhibits if anyone expresses doubts about supposed facts dat they themselves believe are reliable/correct, or

(2) a similar disagreeable unwillingness to agreeably go along if someone in charge tells them to "step lively" due to some purported deadline or emergency.

Maybe you'd soon develop a "stattitude", too, if people were always telling you to jump like a jack-in-da-box and go flitting about at a frenzied pace just to please them regarding some merely-believed-by-only-them impending catastrophe, but which you see little or no sign of actual existence, such as a political dilemma, religious calamity, etc.

appleication

1. A form you submit relating to Cortlands or MacIntoshes.
2. A particular use for said tasty crunchy fruits.

If you are steamin'-mad at someone, then even rotten 'n' squishy tree-fruits can have a useful appleication --- they make awesome "splattery" projectiles to lob at said infuriating individual.
