hallucynation

What Little Miss vanPelt was experiencing during da infamous period when she was passing out lists of perceived faults to her fellow child-citizens around da neighborhood, explaining dat she wanted to make da world a better place for her to live in.

Linus vanPelt's older sister was experiencing a major "hallucynation" if she actually thought dat her informing everyone of his or her "shortcomings" would truly create a more-palatable-to-her "nation" --- as da enraged-and-snarlingly-charging-after-her-with-bared-teeth Snoopy demonstrated, some people don't appreciate having their "lesser angels" pointed out to them.

falternative

Something dat you do instead of clumsily screwing up.

Carrying objects in a backpack is a good falternative to awkwardly lugging them in your arms, where you might stumble and drop said cargo.

text-composition butler

A "gentleman's gentleman" who's mainly tasked with proofreading his fumble-fingered master's hastily-composed missives, essays, and other literary creations, pointing out and/or correcting all the errors, and then either passing the resulting "perfected" paperwork back to his boss, or sending said correspondence on its way to it intended recipients.

As clever and talented as Jeeves was, it's entirely probable that he could have also served the dim-witted Bertie Wooster in the role of text-composition butler; perhaps he might instead have suavely suggested that, "You might want to consider a modern word-processor, Sir... it will underline spelling and grammar errors for you, so that you can correct them immediately as you go along."

crowbarrower

Refers to someone who selfishly/insensitively uses unfair "leveraging" techniques (guilt tripping, promises of windfall sales/profits, grandiose business-opportunity hyping, nepotism-type whiny pleading "But I'm your ___... surely you should want to help one of your own kin!", etc.) to pressure others into giving him "seed money" to start his own business, but then simply using the coerced funds for non-business-startup expenditures, while either totally abandoning his original aspirations to set up shop on his pwn, or at best unmotivatedly proceeding with his plans in an apathetic lackluster manner that almost guarantees failure... just like a crow who hungrily devours the corn kernels that the farmer has just planted, he simply "eats the seed money" to fill his tummy right away, rather than waiting to let the seed "germinate and flourish" into a much more bountiful harvest sometime in the future, where there would be corn galore on which to sate his appetite.

I never lend money to my indolent self-centered cousin --- some of my relatives may be taken in by his enthusiastic sales-pitches of business-optimism, but I think he's just being a crowbarrower, merely to avoid having to get a regular job like every other able-bodied soul has to.

oboliviaus

Refers to a lack of attention/realization/consideration to either Miss Newton-John, or matters relating to da west-central country in South America.

Da infamous Yungas Road --- nicknamed da "road of death" and "world's most dangerous road" --- is constantly in a catastrophic state of disrepair, yet da country dat it passes through still seems to be mostly oboliviaus to said drastic situation.

inkquiry

Da act of asking about a pigment-related matter or topic.

Books years ago used to stink to High Heaven due to da yucky chemical-cocktails used to print them; I wonder dat more people didn't make an inkquiry about this.
