QuacksO's definitions

firmentation

How "stiff" drinks are created.

If da country-music dude who requested dat his pals "prop him up beside da jukebox" and "put a stiff drink in his hand" if he kicked da bucket were plied with enough of said powerful liquor, said "firmentation" fluids within his system might cause him to become so solid and rigid dat his corpse would just remain upright "all on its own" --- no "propping" needed.

perm-ission

Consent that must be obtained from your parent/guardian --- or da person who would be footin' da bill at da salon, if you aren't able to pay for said makeover yerself --- before getting your hair done.

I'd saved enough of my allowance to pay for a makeover, but I figured I'd still better get perm-ission from my parents before heading down to Granny Annie's Clip 'n' Curl, just so that there wouldn't be any horrified "What happened to your hair?!??" wails when I got home again.

As "prickly" as many religious topics can be, almost any scheduled sermons could conceivably be classified as "vespurs", whether or not any range-riders are in attendance!

guynocallogist

A physician specializing in the treatment of young women whose dream-boys are lax about getting back to them on the phone.

High school guidance-counsellor: A sizeable portion of the tearful students who seek my advice are "neglected" teen girls, so to lighten my workload and assure that I'll be able to assist as many alumni as possible, I always keep the local guynocallogist on speed-dial, so that I can quickly/effortlessly refer these cases to him.
