parryble

A "listen and learn" tale regarding an evenly-matched sword-fight or round of fencing.

In da movie "The Parent Trap", Annie is so expert at fencing dat she actually yawns during her round with Hallie; da whole match is just a boring parryble to her, since effectively blocking Hallie's thrusts is so easy.

compensaytion

Assorted bu**s**t "lip-service" --- i.e., empty promises or canned statements of regret dat da guilty parties verbally give you --- dat are designed to supposedly make you feel better about a loss/offense, but in reality do absolutely nothing to actually "make you whole again" financially or materially.

"Never a borrower or a lender be" is wise advice, and lessens da chance dat you'll be subjected to any compensaytion debacles!

MacGrUBER

A bumbling taxi-driver who frequently runs into things, takes a wrong route, shows up at the wrong address, forgets where he's supposed to be transporting his riders, drives jerkily and/or over rough terrain so that his passengers get jostled around, etc.

Private ride-services are notorious for screwing up or otherwise delivering below-acceptable performance/service, so one has to wonder how many MacGrUBERS are behind the wheel of those errant hacks!

fugueitive

Someone who goes into hiding after writing a particular piece of classical music.

Some people are such awful composers dat they would almost feel da need to become fugueitives when audiences heard their horridly-unpleasing orchestral creations; usually, though, said concerns would be unfounded, since da general public isn't actually gonna attack someone merely because they don't care for his music.

begaphone

An amplified speaking-device dat someone uses to solicit charity from anyone in da general vicinity.

I always try to help others who are truly in need, but if someone requesting help is assailing everyone's eardrums by hollering into a begaphone, dat would definitely be a turn-off for me.
