Consent that must be obtained from your parent/guardian --- or da person who would be footin' da bill at da salon, if you aren't able to pay for said makeover yerself --- before getting your hair done.
I'd saved enough of my allowance to pay for a makeover, but I figured I'd still better get perm-ission from my parents before heading down to Granny Annie's Clip 'n' Curl, just so that there wouldn't be any horrified "What happened to your hair?!??" wails when I got home again.

Get the perm-issionmug. A greedy-casino-type public clothes-washing establishment where the coin-operated machines are all "rigged in The House's favor" --- the bill-changer mis-feeds/jams/malfunctions frequently and thus does not always dispense "equal" change, the detergent-dispensers contain nearly-empty boxes of soap-powder, the washers' coin-counters merely "swallow" or "ignore" any extra change if you accidentally put in too much, the super-costly "double-loader" and "triple-loader" washers are not actually large enough to accommodate two or three times the laundry of a regular single-load machine, the washers run for a ridiculously short time, the driers are set at too low a temperature and/or spin too slowly to dry your clothes so quickly/thoroughly as they should for the run-time you paid for, all of the machines' timers "advance" or "count down" slightly too rapidly and thus do not actually provide all of the stated run-time, etc. --- and so people hafta squander small fortunes there just to wash their clothes.
I would much prefer to just pay my elderly neighbors a few bucks occasionally to let me wash my laundry in their machine --- and then hang it out myself on my clotheslines to let the sun dry it for free --- rather than paying a fortune at the local squandromats.

Get the squandromatmug. If da country-music dude who requested dat his pals "prop him up beside da jukebox" and "put a stiff drink in his hand" if he kicked da bucket were plied with enough of said powerful liquor, said "firmentation" fluids within his system might cause him to become so solid and rigid dat his corpse would just remain upright "all on its own" --- no "propping" needed.

Get the firmentationmug. Refers to the assordid "magic" that a moocher plays on an unsuspecting victim using financial-instrument cards of some sort, and then "pulls a disappearing act" afterwards.
One of the most common moocher's card tricks is to show your "mark" a cash/debit card beforehand, and claim that it has sufficient funds loaded onto it to cover whatever expenses you're going to rack up, but then you either "forget" the card's PIN number or "discover" that the card has either been cancelled of has insufficient funds on it to cover your shopping bill or the gas-money for the ride that your "mark" gave you.

Get the card tricksmug. Oscar the Grouch hates bright cheery flowers so much that he thinks others are being downright narcissustic to him by growing sunshine-yellow King Alfreds in their flower-gardens and on their lawns.

Get the Matthew Broaderickmug. Where you are trying to hold in a deep breath but then unintentionally do something that obliges you to "pop" whether ya want to or not.
I was competing with a couple of friends to see who could hold his breath the longest, and I was reading the daily newspaper-comics to distract me from my respiratory discomfort. Then I read a cartoon that really struck me funny and so I hadda laugh --- talk about self-imposed exhale!

Get the self-imposed exhalemug.
