too lawng ago

Refers to a period of time following an event that is too lengthy for any legal action to be taken.
I never intentionally misbehave, but I know that I still made lots of naive-minded screw-ups as an adolescent. However, now that I'm in my fifties and seeing as how I still have a 100%-clean criminal record, I assume that those accidental-slip-up events during my teenage years were way too lawng ago for me to be concerned about any legal action's ever being taken against me regarding them --- not only would the statute of limitations likely have expired decades ago, but most of the folks who'd been involved in those errors would either have forgotten about them or passed on by this time.

Joules Verne

An immensely "electrifying" author who really "lit up" his pages, and always gave his readers a real "jolt".
At a young age, Doc Brown decided to devote his life to science after the writings of Joules Verne "really went though him like a bolt of lightning".

Refers to a non-startling strategy employed whenever you are unable to unobtrusively get someone's attention or make eye-contact with him for whatever reason (maybe he's deep in a book, concentrating hard on a household/carpentry task, or using noisy equipment, and thus he does not look up/around occasionally or hear/observe your presence) and so you start out to say hello by speaking very quietly, and then cautiously raising your voice little-by-little (like some modern-day alarm-clocks do so as to wake you "gently" instead of startling you out of a sound slumber with a full-blast ringer right away) till the previously-oblivious person eventually becomes aware of your proximity and glances up.
I'd wanted to ask my elderly neighbor about my possibly carpooling with him on his grocery-shopping trip the next day, but he was so busy using his riding lawnmower that he never noticed me despite my circling around in front of him several times, so I eventually used the gradual-ramp-up-volume greeting to finally get his attention.

illitteracy

The dumba** inability to "read the signs" of incorrect/irresponsible trash-disposal.
I took my congressman around my county to show him the garbage strewn everywhere, but he never seemed to be able to see much out of place; he appears to have a major case of illitteracy.

ghanacologist

A make-believe medical practitioner whom every lonely middle-aged man who romances ladies online fervently wishes actually did exist; da purpose of said genius-doctor would be to give said "prospective partner" women a thorough "check-up" to see if they actually are located in da geographical areas where they claim to be from, or if they're merely residing in a far-off land in Western Africa.
Since ghanacologists do not exist and therefore are not an option for determining if a Facebook chick is "for real" or not, I employ da simple and inexpensive "code-phrase letter" strategy --- I mail a regular paper-envelope-and-internal-written-message letter to da street-address dat da lady gave me, wif a special message written on da letter-sheet inside for her to read and then repeat back to me on Instant Messenger. Dat way, I can more-reliably know if she actually lives at da address she gave me, or if she had merely given me da address of some random citizen who knows nothing about her.

passing crush

Refers to a feeling of amorous admiration that you experience when catching sight of a hottie in a vehicle that goes by you on the interstate.
I had a passing crush on an auburn-haired hottie driving a convertible whom I saw while riding Greyhound. Fortunately, there were several other attractive likeable gals for me to hang out with at the next bus station, and we all had a two-hour layover in which to share friendly banter, so I pretty much got over the redhead; one of the placid-faced cuties at the station even comfortingly reminded me that the sports-car chick's "rare 'n' glamorous" tint had most likely just "come out of a box", anyway, especially since she looked somewhat Asian and didn't have any freckles.
