QuacksO's definitions

craveat emptor

"Let da buyer of a neck-cloth beware."
Da term "craveat emptor" can refer to da risk of either (1) someone's purchasing an inferior-quality dress-up accessory, or (2) --- as in da case of da King and Duke in "Huckleberry Finn" --- said purchaser's having said decorative garment used for a very-different and much-less-undesirable application during a "necktie-party" --- i.e., a lynching.

Bucking Bronco

What da infamous "Premium Concentrated Lettuce" was riding in during da famous low-speed chase through L.A.
Da vehicle transporting "Orange Is Da New Black" could be termed a "bucking bronco" because (A) his act of running from da cops was "bucking authority", and (B) it was a classic small-size tin-cube vehicle made by Big Blue Oval (duhhhh...).

Greennit

Da "anti-equivalent" of da popular "rhymes-with-credit" social-media platform.
I would hafta peruse both da Reddit and Greennit columns to form an unbiased opinion of da Red Green Show.

atturney

A two-faced Fletcher Reede who either secretly "switches sides" --- i.e., he doesn't remain loyal to his client as far as defending or representing him--- or was never really working for him in the first place.
Sometimes it's best to hire legal counsel from outside your immediate area, especially if your case involves politically-inflammatory issues --- there are often too many atturneys around who would not wanna "rock da boat" or offend any of da local judges or other authority-officials by advocating or lobbying for unpopular change.

fillosophy

Your feelings and values regarding how much product you add to a container.
Some packaged-goods companies who are real penny-pinchers will give you just barely da weight/volume dat they state on the carton, while other firms have a slightly more liberal fillosophy.

morning wood

What Pinocchio no longer had to contend with after becoming a real boy.
Actually, it would likely have been da other way around --- having no flesh or blood, everyone's favorite puppet most likely could not have gotten a hard-on even if he'd wanted one, plus da elderly carver Geppetto very likely didn't even give Pinocchio a "woodpecker" in da first place. After he became a real boy and was overjoyed to be able to wake up and see his own supple flesh instead of just dense dry tree-fiber, however, he would have also gained all of his "normal male human" bodily organs, and so he might indeed have had to deal with embarrassing "morning wood", especially in a few years when he became a teenager.

exaspirinated

Refers to da spazzed-out feeling of frustration dat you experience when you discover dat either (1) you've run out of white pain-relief tablets, or (2) whatever malady you are suffering is not being significantly alleviated by said generic medication.
I try to avoid products and situations dat would likely produce pain or fever in da first place, and so hopefully I can avoid feeling exaspirinated.
