Salman Dawdledie

The lesser-known author-contemporary of the infamous Islam-basher; he merely wrote a mildly-doubtful-toned work regarding the religion and its followers, and so Iranian leaders didn't actually place a bounty on his head; they merely wanted to question him on his "motivation 'n' motives" surrounding the book. He therefore just quietly withdrew from the public eye and slowly travelled to a remote part of the country where he wasn't known well, and then lived out his remaining days in humble anonymity on the modest proceeds from his book.

I wonder if Salman Dawdledie enjoyed fishing during his retirement years?

freequency

I understand dat even da cheapie-plastic drinking-cups cost da company something, but I still think dat "only one coffee-mug per customer per month" seems like too low a freequency to me.

popposition

Major head-shaking regarding either soft drinks or small-but-noisy bursts of sound.

Many youngsters get da biggest kick outta firecrackers and bubble-wrap, but their jangled-nerved and tender-eared parents often put up considerable popposition to said alarming audibles and startling staccatos.

Lincoln's Gettysburg address

The street-name, house-number, etc. where mail could reach Honest Abe while he was staying in Gettysburg.

Dunno why some students find it so difficult to to memorize Lincoln's Gettysburg address --- it was only three short lines:

President Abraham Lincoln
128 Broadway

Gettysburg, PA 17325

quid pro quo

Where two or more people receive an equal-size measure of baccy-chew.

I can respect nicotine-wad-chomping buddies' wanting to "share and share alike" by practicing quid pro quo, but surely there are less disgusting --- not to mention less hazardous to your health --- ways to display fairness of mind???
