wave the fee 

Can refer to several different scenarios:
1. Where a service-provider affably declines being paid by casually swishing his hand in a "never mind" or "no worries --- no charge" gesture.
2. Where a service-recipient arrogantly/contemptuously declines to pay for services rendered by flippantly swishing his hand in a "forget it" or "don't trouble me" gesture.

3. Where a service-requester attempts to entice/persuade someone to assist/accommodate him by eagerly/pleadingly swishing a wad of cash in said would-be provider's direction.
Lustful-minded male bank teller: I'm a hopeless craver of lady-flesh, so I don't need any attractive female customer to beg me to give her a break on a service-charge --- all she has to do is show me her boobs or let me squeeze her butt, and I'll so totally "wave the fee" for her EVERY time.

freequency 

Refers to how often a product or service is offered without charge.
I understand dat even da cheapie-plastic drinking-cups cost da company something, but I still think dat "only one coffee-mug per customer per month" seems like too low a freequency to me.

mislaid glasses dilemma 

Refers to da humorously-annoying conundrum dat's frequently encountered by folks suffering from C.S.S. (i.e., Can't See S**t"), particularly those who also have poor short-term memory --- they set their glasses down someplace, but then they forget where they laid them, and they cannot see well enough without said corrective lenses to find them again.
Keeping a spare pair of glasses (like simple reading-specs from da dollar store) in a certain place at all times (and then promptly returning them to said location after using them in a "mislaid glasses dilemma" emergency, like a hidden set of house/car keys that you use whenever you've accidentally "locked yourself out") can get you out of the age-old "I need my glasses in order to see well enough to FIND my glasses!" problem... you will always know where in the house that your "rescue" glasses will be, so you can go and temporarily don them for clear vision till you find your "regular" glasses again, and then put the spare set back in their "for emergencies" location.

feesible 

A simple and practical way of getting paid to perform a service.
If you make a habit of always asking beforehand if a certain recommended/suggested action can/will be performed at no additional cost, most greedy businesspeople will not think it feesible to try to trick you into paying extra for goods or services.

cattleogue

A periodical magazine from a livestock-merchant dat offers assorted bovine animals (cows, heifers, bulls, steers, calves, etc.) for sale.
Viewing lovely photos of plump sleek healthy animals in a cattleogue is all well and good, but you should always go and physically inspect said parcels of beef before deciding whether to purchase them --- just like da infamous "horse dealing" shysters ("He sold him a horse, but delivered a mule --- but that's all settled now." "It **was** a horse!" "It was a MULE!" "Horse!" "Mule!" "Horse!" "Mule!" "Tradition!"), there's plenty of shameless fakery and shady behavior regarding da buying and selling of cattle, as well, such as trying to pawn off a cow that is "dry" and/or "barren", a bull that is either infertile and/or has been castrated, etc.
