generic greeting

Refers to da friendly wave, nod,. smile, etc. dat you courteously preform in response to a passing motorist/pedestrian who honks or calls hello to you, but you are unable to identify said greeter because the person has already moved too far away by the time you "get turned around" to see who it was.

A sportsman friend of mine experienced a classic case of "generic greeting" whenever he visited my area --- "The only thing I can figure is that I must have a vehicle that looks a lot like a local resident's, because everyone waves eagerly to me when I drive through town, and yet I don't really know anyone here. But heck, that's perfectly okay with me --- I dunno why they wave, but I just always wave back!"

lesbianage

Da covert spying or other sneaky/illegal actions performed either by or regarding a "real girl".

While it's often said dat "real girls kiss other girls", you might wanna watch out if a chick moves in on you uninvited for some copious "lip-service" --- she might just be engaged in lesbianage.

hireoglyphics

What da absurdly-complex questions on a job-application form might as well be for any ordinary person to "decipher".

I've occasionally been derisively upbraided about my inherent difficulty in obtaining employment ("You don't even know how to fill out a job application!"), yet whenever I snortingly retort, "Okay, well, if YOU'RE so smart and capable" and then ask said criticizing/ridiculing individuals to assist me with said writing task, they themselves are often unable to figger out da hireoglyphics on da forms, either!

You're not aloane

What you sympathetically tell someone who's wrestling with one or more "typical" or "oft-experienced" conundrums involving borrowed money/objects.

If someone needs to be told, "You're not aloane", this often indicates that he has not followed Shakespeare's famous "neither a borrower nor a lender be" proverb.

prezooming

Arrogantly figuring in your own oblivious/selfish mind that proceeding rapidly is okay, without asking others in your vicinity if said speedy travelling on your part would distress or otherwise inconvenience them.

Impatient motorists who recklessly dart in and out of traffic to more-quickly get where they are going sure are prezooming a lot --- oh, sure, THEY may save a few minutes in their commute-time, but what about all the other startled souls who have to slam on their brakes and get additional gray hairs as a result???

At least we don't hafta shovel liquid water

A wry remark intended to make light of da fact dat a period of da winter has been very rainy.

Jokingly telling fellow adults dat, "At least we don't hafta shovel liquid water" may indeed make them feel better about a drearily-wet portion of da end/beginning-of-year season, but small children may not be over impressed or cheered by said statement, since they would much prefer to have snow dat dey could go out and play in.

infallowble

Refers to crop land dat cannot be easily made barren.

In da classic "McBroom" tales, Papa Josh's "wonderful one-acre farm" is apparently infallowble, since crops seem to grow prolifically in its soil with little or now fertilizing, watering, or other maintenance-attention.
