valleyant efforts

comprovise/impromise

To partially allow for others' unique/particular wishes (i.e., "compromise") when brainstorming a low-cost/emergency solution ("i.e., "improvise") to a particular problem.

I always try to comprovise/impromise whenever I perform household upgrades/repairs, so that nobody is unnecessarily burdened/discomforted by said modifications.

convixen

What Brer Fox's wife would likely get in court if she was also involved in Hubby's carnivorous shenanigans against Brer Rabbit or any of his fellow small/weak-herbivore buddies.

From what we hear of her in da Uncle Remus tales, it appears dat Mrs. Fox is mostly a stay-at-home spouse who merely performs housework and tends da yard, so it would probably be difficult to get a convixen against her for aiding and abetting any of Brer Fox's savagery or skullduggery that occurred while he was "out and about" --- i.e., away from his house.

dysfunktional

Describes less-than-ideal interactions/relationships among two or more people due to incompatibilities in tastes/preferences regarding alternative-pop music.

I prefer classical and easy-listening music, but that doesn't mean I have a dysfunktional relationship with other folks just because they happen to like weird-sounding crazy-beat tunes.

lovely day in pairadice

A "grim grins" remark made by a gambling-addiction counsellor when asked how his establishment is doing.

Gamblers Anonymous director: So far today, we've had two homeless men, five working-class folks without a scrap of food in the house, three grandparents who squandered their offspring's college-funds, and one "chronic" moocher come through our doors --- and their deplorable statuses are all due to their gambling addictions! Just another lovely day in pairadice!

callories

Fattening carb-units that you consume from munching on junk food while languidly yacking on the telephone, and thus said overly-rich-nutrients are more effective at packing on the pounds, just as they are if you chomp on chips and beer while sedentarily watching TV on the couch instead of exercising.

If you love gabbing with your buds on the horn for extended periods, a simple way to avoid the effects of callories is to only chow down on celery and carrot sticks (unsalted peanut butter can help make these "dull" foods more palatable) during these intervals, and save the tastier starchy/salty/sugary snacks for times when you're more active.

epissode

Refers to either of two urine-related :
(1) A particular "chapter" or a TV show which was so funny that you peed yourself while watching it.
(2) An unfortunate happening during/because of which you wet your pants.

There is often really slow traffic into town, so I always place a thick bundle of towels on my driver's seat in case I have any epissodes before I can get to a restroom.
