QuacksO's definitions

Bonny Solder

The handsome-but-ineffective late-20th-centruy president of Iran who strived to attractively "patch things up" around his country, but failed due to the country's horrendously-upheavaled state of affairs at the time.

Maybe if Bonny Solder had applied more "flux" in his political approach, he might have been able to accomplish more positive results in his attempts to repair the damage done during Iran's previous regimes.

appetight

A craving for rich carbs-laden cuisine that causes your waistline to become overly "snug" inside your belt.

President Taft had such a prodigious appetight that when he died, they buried him in a coffin the size of a piano-case.

Chow En-Lie

China's infamously-gluttonous and dishonest mid-29th-century leader.

Due to his prodigious appetite and habitual fibbery, Chow En-Lie was constantly having to undergo cosmetic surgery to reduce belly-fat and trim his nose shorter. Thank goodness for acupuncture, or these multiple operations would have caused a nationwide shortage of pain-killers.

runaway roll

Refers to an inadequately-perforated and/or too-lightweight spool of paper towels or toilet-tissue. When you try to merely tear off a few sheets by giving the end of the roll a moderate yank, the paper does not separate the way you expected, and so the roll just wastefully whizzes off yards and yards all over the place, obliging you to fumingly remove the messily-bunched-up wad from the holder and tediously re-roll the paper inch-by-inch back onto the core again.

I do indeed prefer to purchase the "bargain basement" tissue-paper rolls from the supermarket or department store --- especially if they have a sale on the huge 20-roll "bales" --- but I find that a lot of times they are "runaway rolls"... the company goofed when they punched the rolls' perforations, and so that's largely why they're being sold off so cheaply.

relizardgion

The belief that lizard-people run the world (a nod of thanks to Simon Whistler from YouTube for his inadvertently giving me this idea by speaking of lizard-people and then in his next breath quipping that "considering how many people actually believe this, perhaps they should start their own religion").

The reason that relizardgion is so difficult to dismiss/disprove is that there are so many horridly-wrinkly and ugly people around that they can indeed have only descended from lizards, just like evolution is so difficult to dismiss because so many humans act so "crude 'n' primitive" that those particular individuals must indeed have descended from apes. :P

welding anniversary

A recurring date which marks the day of the year that a lady met her future husband due to his having done welding for her.

Celebrating a welding anniversary is often a very satisfyingly-pleasant experience just in itself, of course, but it can also serve to further "weld" the bond that the couple feels for each other.

benefishiary

A thieving bird, reptile, or mammal that swipes an angler's catch while his back is turned.

I always bring a large old-fashioned metal drink-cooler to store my catch in, so that some winged or four-legged meal-marauder doesn't become the benefishiary of my hard-won fillets!
