SURELY you can't be Sirius

What you'd say when opening your exorbitant satellite-radio bill.

NINETY-NINE bucks for a car-entertainment-audio subscription?! SURELY you can't be Sirius!
I **am** "Sirius", and don't call me "Shirley". :P
(Actually, SiriusXM is fairly cheap per month; the $99.00 amount is for a three-year subscription.)

souperior

Meat/veggies-and-broth concoctions of extra-sumptuous nature.

Campbell's claims to produce "souperior" canned goods, but I often prefer da Progresso brand instead.

sueperior

What a "never lost a case" law-firm claims to be.

Many ambulance-chaser outfits who trumpetingly claim a 100% win-record may have actually "cherry-picked" da cases dat they agreed to take --- i.e., they only represented clients who had overwhelmingly-convincing arguments. So they weren't actually of "sueperior" skill, intellect, cleverness, etc.; they merely made sure dat da cases they handled would be likely to win in any case, not actually taking any and all cases presented to them, and magically winning them all no matter what da odds.

artifiction

Any item dat is purported to be a historical artiFACT, but is actually just a fake or replica.

Mark Hofmann, Alexander Smith, and Adolfo Kaminsky were famous master-forgers who created fake documents that looked super-genuine, but were actually just examples of artifiction.

visability

Conspicuousness dat you do not want when either you're paying a sizeable bill with your credit card (i.e., da Feds and/or moochers might be watching), or you're trying to sneak through customs with less-than-stellar documentation.

One might attain varying degrees of "invisability" by "visably" offering to electronically bribe --- i.e., waving plastic in da presence of --- border-agents, depending on whether said officials were willing to accept said bribe. Often, of course, dat very act of "cash flashing" will only cause da security-personnel to be MORE hesitant and suspicious of you --- and therefore delay you even MORE --- than if you'd just behaved normally in your efforts to cross da border.

tropickle romance

Refers to what you'd likely partake of if you did indeed return to Hawaii and visit dat "little brown gal" mentioned in da famous Wood/McDiarmid/Noble song, and end up "having success" with her... said act of "getting lucky" could turn out to be far more "successful" --- i.e., BIOLOGICALLY successful --- than you'd bargained for!

Getting a native-islander babe to affectionately "drop her jeans" for you could very likely become a "tropickle romance" if said "dropping" of your OWN "genes" resulted in said tanned chick's soon needing larger "jeans".

univercity

An urban-area school.

Some college students may indeed be more comfy attending classes dat are offered at "right in the thick of things" campuses, but I prefer a more-rural environment for taking my courses; no "univercity" for me, thank you.
