riminder

"Note to self" regarding da edge of something.

first frame from an old "Beetle Bailey" cartoon

Beetle, with Zero and Plato looking on: Where are you going, Sarge?
Sarge (cheerfully): Ohhhh... I thouhght I'd take a lihttlhe whalkh afhter shuppehr!
second frame
Plato: Well, don't fall over a CLIFF, now, Sarge --- I mean, we don't wanna hafta come lookin' for ya and rescue ya the way we did last time you went off alone for a stroll!
Sarge (beaming confidently with his one tooth) Oh, dohn't whurrhy abhout MHE, bhoyzh --- I've lhearnhed mhy lheshohn --- I'hm nhot ghonnha fhall ohver ahny CLIHFFSH!
third frame, showing Sarge glumly hanging by a tree-trunk that's protruding horizontally over a yawningly-bottomless chasm YET AGAIN}
Ahndh ifh thehy bhuhLHIEVE MHE, I'hll bhe hehre tihll MHORNHIINGH!

So apparently just his spoken promise wasn't sufficient --- Sarge should have written a note as a riminder to stay away from cliffs! :P

Ix-nay on the ew-nay

What a stingy/indigent person firmly says regarding da purchase of a certain item, and meaning dat he will only agree to buy a less-expensive used model instead of a pricey "fresh off da store shelf" one.

With many types of items, it is indeed often a good practice to buy them second-hand, especially costlier objects such as houses, cars, farm/industrial machinery, tools, etc. But for other items like vacuum-cleaners or other dust-collecting appliances, batteries or other chemical-based products, untreated lumber, and other objects that tend to wear/dry out or "go bad" quickly/easily, "Ix-nay on the ew-nay" may in fact NOT be such a wise mindset, in dat DAT sort af "previously enjoyed" item might not be in very good shape anymore... here, buying a new item --- and then caring for it properly --- might actually be MORE cost-effective in da long run.

horsiz optional

What you eye-twinklingly add as a hasty "aside" after saying "hey" to someone, before they can impishly shoot back with da "standard" retort of "Hey iz fer horsiz".

I would sincerely hope dat it would be "horsiz optional" instead of "mandatory" when saying "hey" to someone... not dat I don't totally love those large gorgeous friendly four-legged mammals, but I wouldn't wanna hafta care for a whole herd of dem.

buyography

A collection of events that document your spending habits.

People with compulsive shopping disorder are often unaware --- or at least unwilling to admit --- that they even HAVE the problem, and therefore, autobuyography-writing is rare among these individuals; they are often obliged to have outside observers --- who DO perceive the financially-unwise patterns in the affected people' lives --- write the compositions for them.

impurseonal

Describes a non-affectionate/non-sociable way of treating someone; large cash allowances and/or expensive gifts are substituted for caring "one-on-one" interaction, resulting in said person's feeling well-provided-for but unloved on a personal-warmth level.

Despite a lavish and worry-free upbringing, many "rich kid" humans tend to grow up feeling unloved and lonesome if their impurseonal parents are too busy tending to their financial and social affairs, and thus do not spend enough time showing warmth or interest in their own offspring.

DDW

An attractive "large-bodied" lady with extra-large chest-pillows.

If you prefer "big" gals with extra-ample gazongas, go with DDW's rather than just BBW's.
