QuacksO's definitions

counter-offer

Most common at many small/thrift/second-hand stores where the checkout-clerk is also the store's owner, this term refers to the act of asking the cashier for a discounted price on a piece of merchandise; i.e., an amount that's somewhat lower than what the store is asking for the item.
During a visit to the local factory-outlet clothing store, I found a shirt that I really liked, but I noticed that it had a couple buttons missing, so I made a counter-offer when I reached the checkout, and got the garment for two dollars off.

rambunktious

How small children often are in a shared bedroom, at camp, or anywhere else where there are multi-level sleeping-berths.
Slumber parties can often get a bit rambunktious, so it's wise to have a patient-but-firm grownup handy to occasionally look in on said boisterous gathering and tell them, "Okay, guys --- settle down" if necessary.

looseury

Da exorbitant levels of compensation dat a chick requires from hot-in-da-crotch studs so dat she'll drop her moral standards --- and her drawers --- for them.
If a gal is desirable enough and has a significant number of fairly-well-off intimacy-partners, she might be able to live quite comfortably off of looseury alone.

dinosoar

Ancient reptile that could fly and glide majestically .
If birds of prey originally came from Velociraptors and other similar ancient reptiles, could they be considered modern-day dinosoars?

Karma Ghia

The lifestyle/personal-choices-caused inevitability of your buying a cute antique VW sports car.
I wanted an Austin-Healey, but on my "modest" income, all I could afford was this crappy somewhat-look-alike piece of tin --- guess it was Karma Ghia.
