primery purpose 

Da intended use of da firing-cap on an ammo-cartridge.

Homeropathy 

Da practice of trying to get someone to "learn to like" ancient Greek poetry by making him read small "doses" of it at a time.
I deeply resent being "force-fed" ideas or literature dat I detest, so practicing Homeropathy on me is only gonna turn me away from said insipidly-intolerable text even more.

conjewgal visit 

What Tevya would hope was allowed if he got put in da slammer and wanted his wife Golde to come and see him sometimes.
As rowdy as Tevya and his drinking-buddies got when drunkenly singing "To Life!" at da local watering-hole, it's a wonder dat they didn't all get locked up and been made to be content with occasional conjewgal visits for a few weeks till they would be released on parole and allowed to return to their families.

honorable lamention 

Refers to da assorted melancholy mourning dat a "runner-up" contestant exhibits after learning dat he merely won a verbal praising at a contest .
If a contest drew a sizeable number of competitors, then your even being acknowledged as having specially caught da judges' attention is quite an honor in and of itself... most of da other players didn't even receive that much recognition, so you must have actually done quite well --- no need to go through a period of "honorable lamention" afterwards!

illusorry 

Merely pretending to regret one's disgraceful actions.
So many criminals exhibit a deeply-penitent demeanor when being tried in court, but it's often largely illusorry --- i.e., they have not actually "had a change of heart" all of a sudden and and "become better people" as a result of their merely appearing before the law! If they were presently still free and at liberty to do as they pleased, they would likely still be smirkingly committing da very same crimes dat they had been hauled in for in da first place! Da only thing dat they're truly "sorry" for is dat they GOT CAUGHT!
