volenteer

Lake Travis is a lovely region, so "volenteering" might be a super-pleasurable experience.

Cheavy pickup

A Scottsdale/Silverado short-bed that's loaded down with bags of fertilizer or cinder-blocks.

I don't want to tow a trailer with my Cheavy pickup right now... gotta wait till I unload it so that I don't strain the engine and transmission.

Lincoln's Gettysburg address

The street-name, house-number, etc. where mail could reach Honest Abe while he was staying in Gettysburg.

Dunno why some students find it so difficult to to memorize Lincoln's Gettysburg address --- it was only three short lines:

President Abraham Lincoln
128 Broadway

Gettysburg, PA 17325

gauzeling

Da toddler-offspring of a nurse whose primary task is bandaging people up.

Many children love "playing doctor", anyway, and so having a gauzeling or two in da day-care center could come in handy for said aspiring surgeons, since these medical-personnel-parented youngsters might have some actual experience from having watched Mom or Dad applying salves and wrappings to their patients, and could therefore guide their fellow little ones while they practice basic boo-boo-dressing procedures on each other.

asnide remark

A less-than-respectful/complimentary/convinced comment dat is privately/surreptitiously made by a meeting-attendee to his seating-neighbor, a reporter or narrator to da program's viewing-audience, etc.

Professional actors/commentators seldom "break da fourth wall" except to voice an asnide remark to da show's spectators.

reverse/hypocritical teaching

Refers to where a schoolteacher requests his students to tell him the answer to a English/history question, math problem, etc. ("Now --- who can tell me what the answer is in this case?", or "I want you to fill in the blank on your page there, to tell me what the answer is")... not only does this strange behavior indicate that the teacher is apparently not qualified for his job, since **he** seemingly doesn't even know the answer himself (plus maybe the question is even too difficult/advanced for his students, if even he --- as an "educated grownup" --- doesn't even seem to know the answer; perhaps he should therefore not even be asking this excessively-advanced question of his much-younger/less-learned students), but it also directly flies in the face of his otherwise strict policy of never answering a question that a student asks **him** about a particular example on a test, but instead insisting that the student laboriously toil to find out the answer for himself.

Disgruntled second-grade student: I wish they'd let us have a better-informed teacher --- she expects US to supply HER with knowledge many times every day, rather than HER teaching US, the way she's supposed to! Talk about reverse/hypocritical teaching --- where'd SHE ever get her teacher's certification, anyway, if she's THAT dumb and uneducated?!??
