QuacksO's definitions

alledgedly

A situation or event involving a rocky outcropping dat is merely claimed to be da case.

In his humorous "great outdoors adventures" book-chapter "The MFFFF", da out-of-shape Pat McManus relates how he was alledgedly very interested in learning about geological formations, when in reality he was merely trying to make excuses to take a rest-break from a hunting-hike in difficult terrain.

earroneous

Auditory bee-ess.

In da classic "old fella wif da secretly-fitted hearing-aid" joke, said ancient codger's greedy nephews had thought dat da derogatory remarks which they were quietly making about him would literally "fall on deaf EARS", whereas da device's excellent amplification -'n'-clarification circuitry meant dat said verbal jabs weren't so "EARroneous" after all. :P

Stanographer

A court-typist who transcribes da clueless/.wimpy testimony of Ollie's best buddy.

As absurd as what da slimmer member of "Da Boys" often says, it seems amazing dat any Stanographer could keep a straight face when recording said blithering/blubbering speech.

investment casting

A molding process whereby precious metals are melted down and formed into household items, sporting-goods, etc., enabling their buyers to be less "obvious" or "visible" in their acquisition of said valuable minerals than they would be if they simply purchased coins, bars, etc.

Two excellent examples of investment casting would be electrical/plumbing components and golf clubs, which can be formed from gold, silver, platinum, etc. and installed/stored in the investor's home without anyone's being the wiser.

prejudased

Arbitrarily closed-minded with regards to thinking that everyone is out to get you.

It is indeed wise to be appropriately cautious about initially trusting a stranger or newcomer in your life, but it's a mistake to be overly prejudased, either.

sellsius

A unit of temperature-measurement that rates how "hot" or "chilly" a salesperson's looks and/or mannerisms are when marketing his wares.

Billy Mays may have fancied himself as "just the ultimate salesperson stud", but I never thought much of his puffed-up yatter, and so I'd have given him a merely "lukewarm" rating of about 15 degrees on the sellsius scale!
