QuacksO's definitions

independent contractor

Someone who performs tasks even before he's been asked/hired/authorized to do so; he merely learns/overhears that something may need/be wished to be done, and so he himself steps in and completes said activity of his own accord, whether the people involved actually wish it to be performed or not. Just goes to show that you'll want to be really careful what you say when you're in the company of others --- you never know who might be listening, and then planning to carry out something that you merely mentioned about, not that you were actually asking anyone to perform for you.
MacGyver's arch-nemesis and professional gunman Murdoc takes the concept of "independent contractor" to a whole new --- and tragic --- extreme... even if the person who hires him merely wishes to have the mark scared --- or even if Murdoc's "employer" changes his mind and and no longer wishes Murdoc to perform said terrorism --- he continues to murderously pursue his mark anyway.

heiressy

Shocking/unconventional/non-conformist beliefs or behavior practiced by a female recipient of an estate, business, or other valuable consideration.

Brer Fox plagiarism

Refers to a bombastic loudmouth's blatantly taking credit for an idea or realization that everyone else present at the time knows was thought of by someone else. It originates from the most famous of all the "Uncle Remus" tales --- Brer Rabbit and the Tar Baby --- and comes from the infamous (and hilarious) dialogue between the brashly-conceited Brer Fox and the two other animals who were present at the time --- Brer Bear and Bter Rabbit --- whereby anytime a good idea is.suggested, Brer Fox boldly announces that said idea was his own: "I sure am glad that **I** thought of THAT!"
Perhaps the tar-embedded Brer Rabbit could have used another method to avoid his demise at the hands --- er, **paws** --- of his venomous-hearted crimson-canine nemesis by insisting on "postponing operations pending litigation", and then suing his savage russet-coated adversary for "Brer Fox plagiarism" when said cocky character braggingly took credit for Brer Rabbit's idea about "flinging him in da briar patch". Plus of course, once they were in court, Brer Rabbit could have also asked the judge to lock up Brer Fox (and possibly Brer Bear, as well, as a conspirator in crime) for his ongoing attempts to eliminate Brer Rabbit, and for his constant threatening and harassment of "a poor helpless harmless fluffy little bunny like me".

overhall

A complete remodeling of da corridor dat runs along beside da doors to da bedrooms in your home.
Ordinary houses tend to be laid out in a somewhat square or broad-rectangular configuration, and so they usually have one or more access-corridors of just fairly-short duration each. Mobile homes, however, are typically long skinny things with all of da rooms' access-doors arranged in a single line, and so performing an overhall in DAT type of structure would be quite a "lengthy" undertaking!

circle of friends

A group of good-natured easy-going peeps who are super-comfy with you, and thus are willing to occasionally indulge you by forming a ring --- either sitting or standing --- and smilingly holding out their hands so that you can gleefully waltz around the circle and "trade off" pairs of hands, grasping the "inside" left&right hands of two friends in a joyful warmly-squeezey "double-handshake" clasp, then releasing one friend's left hand, crossing your wrists while still maintaining your grasp on the other friend's right hand, taking a half-step to your right so that you're standing directly in front of this other person, grasping his left hand in yours and giving both his hands a couple grateful misty-eyed squeeziz, dropping his right hand and bringing yours back across again, taking another half-step to the right to bring you halfway between the "present" person and the next one, taking this next person's right hand in yours, and so on.
Anytime I feel down or lonesome, I just head over to the town square, and usually there will be a giggle of at least four or five pretty girls hanging out together on the benches, and so I can play a warm-hearted round of "circle of friends" with them --- nuthin' like a whole bunch of soft warm slender hands to cheer a nice guy up! Plus of course if it's a sunny balmy afternoon in the summertime, the chicks will usually all be either barefoot or wearing sandals, and so that's a delightful "footrub-fiesta" bonus, since it provides me with lots of cute toes and arches to delightedly flex and twiddle, as well.

whyny

Refers to a "heavier" version of a merely-of-annoying-voice-toned individual --- not only does he never seem happy no matter what happens, but he's always plaintively inquiring as to da reason for every little thing dat's not to his liking.
I can just imagine how whyny Ethan Couch must have been during his "stints in da slammer"... not only would his everyday privileges have been seriously restricted, but naturally he'd been accustomed to da exact opposite --- i.e. excessively casual and permissive --- way of being treated, and so being "controlled 'n' confined" must have been "twice da torture" for him.

purrformance

The great "show" of "throat-thunder" that Fluffy puts on when he's contented.
The only occasions that the selfish Garfield does a purrformance are when he either wants something or is trying to cover up/minimize some disaster he caused, such as eating one of Jon's ferns or shredding the curtains/furniture.
