post-swat "seeing red"

Refers to da infuriated frustration dat you feel when you observe a messy crimson smear on your hands after successfully dispatching a mosquito, realizing dat said "singing terror" has already "gotten you", and thus you are still destined to suffer an itchy lump in da near future, despite your having eliminated da nasty winged parasite itself.
Knowing that a "loaded" eliminated mosquito will not be producing any additional larvae can somewhat reduce your post-swat "seeing red"... not that one less mosquito will make much difference overall, of course, but at least this particular one won't be laying any eggs inside your house or tent (and thus possibly create an INDOOR infestation of said nasty buggers later on) where it had sneaked into sometime prior to your smacking it.

hypothecary

A "drug store" dat actually just sells snacks, cosmetics, convenience items, etc.
Kiddos typically detest needles and yucky-tasting elixirs, so their idea of a "hypothecary" would one with no scary doctors or nurses, and dat just had candy, comic books, small toys, etc., on its shelves, rather than disgusting medications.
