Salmon Rushdie

Da infamous India-born author whose literary works were of such "fishy" content dat it "spawned" a firestorm of controversy --- many of his fellow Muslims weren't overly thrilled with his less-than-pious viewpoints.

Salmon Rushdie surely got himself into a major "kettle of fish" when he penned his infamous "Satanic Verses" book --- thanks to a lot of irate supporters of Islam, he felt like he was "up to his gills" in trouble.

Omar Sheriff

Famous Egyptian actor who also served as police chief in his local area.

As experienced as Omar Sheriff was with law-enforcement, I'm surprised he didn't star in more crimefighting-type films.

"entire dictionary" day

A wearily-humorous term to describe a long strenuous exhausting day that literally begins and ends with the very first and very last words in the dictionary, respectively --- you frenetically "hit the ground running" with a wailing whoop of haste and/or alarm ("Aaaaaaaaaaahhhh!!!") at the crack of dawn, and then never stop your "headlong dash" till you collapse into bed that night ("Zzzzzzzzzzzz").

Last weekend I volunteered to host the entire youth-camp group on assorted activities and outings --- it was definitely an "entire dictionary" day which I would not be physically or emotionally capable of repeating very often, but the youngsters were all smiling and happily-grateful to me afterwards, and so that made it all worth it.

hover

To pace about restlessly and hang around impatiently while waiting for someone to complete a task for you, often accompanied by repeatedly looking over the person's shoulder. Erroneously thought of by the waiter as helping to speed things up, hovering generally has the exact opposite effect, causing the laborer to feel harried and nervous at being constantly watched, and thus actually making him take even longer to complete the task because his uneasiness obliges him to work more carefully and deliberately, and to re-check more details of his work than he would if he was calm.
Can also loosely refer to any form of fretting at or badgering someone, such as by phoning or e-mailing/IM-ing him repeatedly.

Husband: Is the shop almost done fixing our car yet?
Wife: Well, possibly, but I am not sure... they were still working on it when I stepped in, but they all appeared to be a bit stressed, so I didn't want to hover.

oral assignment

A blowjob dat a "dirty old man" highschool-teacher or college-professor requests from one or more hot-chick students in his class in exchange for a passing grade in public-speaking.

Da term "oral assignment" could also refer to a schoolwork-related directive whereby either (1) a teacher of either gender catches a pair of students in his/her class performing fellatio on each other, and so said educator makes one or both of said "busted" academic lovers perform an extra/unscheduled public-speaking session as a bribe for da teacher's "keeping mum" regarding said scandalous incident, or (2) a female teacher lets a male student's face venture under her skirt and/or blows him, but also makes him "earn" said delightful privileges and/or her silence regarding them by having to perform one or more public-speaking presentations.

conkeror

Someone who overzealously tries to win at da competitive sport of twirling a dried chestnut on a string and attempting to whack it against a similar nut-on-a-string device dat's being dangled by his play-partner.

Swinging any hard and fairly-heavy object on a string sounds awfully dangerous to yourself and anyone around you, so I think I won't try to be a conkeror.

yackcident

An unfortunate mishap caused by putting your foot in your mouth.

Don Imus really created a major yackcident when he foolishly uttered his infamously disgraceful "nappy-headed hos" remark.
