QuacksO's definitions

healthy, wealthy, and wise

A highly-desirable status attainable in one of three ways:
(A) Early to bed, early to rise (although tubby prune-faced ol' Benny didn't seem to "benny-fit" noticeably from THAT load-of-crapola wisdom --- just look at him, 'specially in his later years! So "frankliny", l wouldn't exactly count on this practice to produce all that much in the way of satisfactory results)
(B) Three easy steps: (1) Fake a feeling of illness "healthy" when you go to have your regularly-scheduled checkup. (Extra points if you have Obamacare.) (2) Hire a lawyer whose specialty is hospital/physician-related issues, and file a multi-million-dollar malpractice suit against the doctor who prescribed the incorrect/unnecessary medicine/treatment for your supposed malady that you turned out not to have, after all "wealthy". (3) With your ill-gotten windfall, retire to a private island in the Caribbean and spend a majority of your time studying all the great learned-writers' books Wise".
(C) Become a medical-malpractice lawyer YOURSELF! (Note: Extra points if you **don't** have ObamaCare!)
Pre-med student: I'm not sure I wanna spend my whole life workin' with blood 'n' guts every day.
Medical professor: No worries, Son --- with all of da greedy "healthy, wealthy, and wise" fortune-seekers out there nowadays, you'll likely be spending more time in the COURTroom than the emergency room, and so your daily routine will be far more broken up and less tedious than the doctors of yore hadda endure!

mourning after

Da "yucky 'n' sick" feeling dat you experience after da booze-soaked funeral-gathering dat you attended da previous day.
To truly show respect to da "dearly departed" during a memorial get-together, everyone is expected to show sensitivity and restraint; you are not supposed to turn it into a wild drunken afternoon orgy from which you'd later suffer a "mourning after"!

suspecs

Da eyewear dat you have reason to think may be da culprits.
Harold Lloyd didn't actually wear glasses in real life during his younger days (his famous round-rimmed "four eyes" were just empty frames), do da list of suspecs in a crime wouldn't likely include him.

predassessor

A pain-in-da-a** auditor from ancient times, prior to modern-day inspector-bureaucrats.
Da term "predassessor" could also sarcastically refer to da "wolf or jackal" mindset of an individual who checks/estimates da value of something taxable, in dat you feel like they're "preying on you" for every penny they can supposedly justify to squeeze out of you.

cullection

A menagerie of objects dat most folks would label as low-value crap, but with da hoarder believes he'll find useful someday.
I recently re-evaluated my cullection, and got rid of a lot of stuff dat I hadn't touched for twenty-plus years, and wasn't likely to need in da next six months. I just hope dat "Murphy's Law Of Junk" doesn't turn around and bite me, though --- you know da old "wry-humor" saying: "'Junk' is what ya hold onto for twenty-five years and then throw out three days before you need it!"
