Clair De Loon

An ultra-peaceful Claude Debussy composition that pays homage to everyone's favorite feathered ululating pond-drifter.

If I listen to Debussy's dreamy "Clair De Loon" and Saint-Saens' soothing "The Swan" one right after the other, I wonder if I will be able to stay awake.... not only do I love the slow soft tones of said compositions, but thinking about those two types of stately slow-swimming water-fowl always makes me drowsy.

sircumspection

A close-up examination of a dude's love-pipe to determine if he's ejaculated recently.

Some parents/guardians of teenage girls are so concerned about the honor of "their little pumpkin" that they insist on performing a frequent sircumspection of any guy who dates her.

ammoteur

A novice in the field of firearms who should not be entrusted to work unsupervised with live rounds until he's had more experience, practice, and training in their safe handling and discharging.

Red Green Show character Edgar K.B. Montrose is clearly an ammoteur when it comes to high explosives, and he's got the impaired hearing --- and a missing finger or two --- to prove it.

Massachoosetts

A New England state where everyone sneezes a lot, especially during chillier months.

I tend to be extra-susceptible to airborne-contagions from fellow humans, so I avoid visiting Massachoosetts whenever possible.

Sagginaw

Da central-Michigan metropolis where citizens "just let it all hang out".

Seeing as how "Da Mitten State" is fairly high up on da state-by-state list of senior-citizen-population percentages, it seems likely dat Sagginaw would indeed have a sizable number of droopy-cheeked residents.

mysteerious

Describes da "nobody can really explain why" reality of how a beginner's guiding a car feels so awkward and intimidating at first, but then gradually becomes "second nature" to him as he gets da hang of it.

Da term "mysteerious" can also refer to da still-not-totally-understood phenomenon of how easy it is to herd castrated male cattle in da direction dat you want them to go, but a bull is often so much less willing to follow said "walk this way, please" directives.
