QuacksO's definitions

fortifived

Refers to junk food that has been "junkified" from "four-to-five", indicating that it was so artificially desecrated, and processed for so long a time, that it is now almost totally devoid of original structure or nutritive value.

Junk-food junkie: Yo, dude --- want some of my chips 'n' dip?
Health-food hippie: No thanks, bud --- no offense, but I'd rather not mess up my dietary regimen with any fortifived foods.

last-minute paging-cancel

Refers to the insanely-frustrating act of asking an employee over the PA system to come and assist with something, only to then say, "never mind" a long while afterwards, when said frazzled employee has hastily "dropped everything" and speed-walked almost all the way up to the area where he was asked to present himself.

The last-minute paging-cancel is especially infuriating/draining if the responding employee has had to go through a lot of difficult preparation before heading to his requested locale, such as cleansing his extremely-soiled hands, changing into cleaner/neater attire, setting down a huge armload of items, powering off a complicated piece of equipment, etc.

ignordictrack

What many people do regarding their exercise-machine shortly after setting it up.

Getting a good cardiovascular workout at home may initially sound all great and awesome, but once you start suffering exhausted muscles and searing tendons/ligaments, you may soon just sigh and begin to ignordictrack!

milletary

Refers to one of several soldiers-and-grain-related definitions:
(1) A country's armed-forces collective dat protects and is otherwise involved with said nation's grain-production.
(2) An organization of servicemen made up of grain-farmers.
(3) A defense department where they only feed you cheap yucky-tasting vegetarian-type fare like buckwheat and lentils.

Da United States used to be notorious for its "milletary" dat served deplorable vittles, but fortunately they've gradually improved da cuisine over da decades.

store-aisle preamble

Refers to the preliminary "look-see" stroll dat you make along a store's shelves prior to requesting assistance in locating a certain item of merchandise; this ensures dat you will not feel foolish --- and/or needlessly interrupt a probably-already-overly-busy store-employee --- by asking for help in finding something dat was actually right out in plain view all along, and so you could likely have spied it yourself if you'd simply been looking more carefully/closely.

I always make sure to do a through store-aisle preamble before calling an associate to help me find something I want to buy; it always a relief to see the employee pause and scratch his/her own head while seeking out my desired item (or have said staffperson regretfully tell me that either the store doesn't carry what I'd wanted or it's out of stock), since this means that I don't have to feel foolish or guilty for having "interrupted someone for nothing".
