pursuade

To convince someone to do what you want by monetarily bribing him.
One should make absolutely sure that a person who is trying to pursuade him to do something actually has sufficient money in said purse to cover the promised bribe, and is not merely showing him an empty wallet and thus trying to pull the old empty carrots-bag on a stick routine.

Vegas nerve

Da sensory-conduit in da brain dat prompts you to play da slots.
I never gamble, so any time I experience tingling in my Vegas nerve, I just go sit on da beach and relax a while till da "urge to splurge" subsides.

James Bucannon

A real "blast" of a U.S. commander-in-chief with a big "booming" voice who created a lot of "thunder" during his presidency.
Maybe it's fortunate dat James Bucannon only served one term in da White House, or his politically "explosive" viewpoints and actions might have eventually sparked a Guy-Fawkes-style "gunpowder rebellion"!

sirprise

A male-related revelation dat one wasn't expecting.
After listening to a really lovely and "sensitively performed" piece of music played on a harp, I'd naturally assumed dat it had been performed by a thoughtful-faced slight-figured lady with small slender hands --- what a sirprise it was to learn dat said sweetly-serene artistic work had in fact been delicately strummed out by a towering hulk of a dude with huge gorilla-paws!

"add to dictionary" abuse

Refers to where you impatiently/imperiously refuse to correct your spelling-mistakes when composing text on on a word-processor, but instead just click "add to dictionary" for each error to make said pesky intervals of squiggly red underlinings disappear.
Not only does "add to dictionary" abuse result in your literary compositions' remaining full of mistakes, but it also potentially harms the next person who attempts to use said word-processor, since your spell-checker will now not "catch" many misspellings that this subsequent typist may make, and thus he may unwittingly not do a proper job of proofreading his letters and memos, either.

a brief resprite

A short break where you imbibe a fizzy beverage from a green can or dimpled plastic bottle.
On hot days I like to take a brief resprite every hour or two when working outdoors.
