hands-and-feet friendship 

A close but still-platonic friendship that you share wif a nice gal, perhaps one whom you've known a long time but who now has a main squeeze of her own. It involves your holding and fondling the gal's hands for extended periods, and giving her long soothing foot-rubs, plus possibly having her soothingly place the soles of her feet against your chest or rub/scratch your back with her toes.

A hands-and-feet friendship can be an ideal "happy medium" or "compromise" type of footing with a nice gal --- it permits you to still maintain a fully-satisfying "soulmate type" relationship with someone of the female persuasion whom you really like, even after she's linked up with another guy who is more to her "overall" liking... if the guy has a reasonably tolerant/understanding/trusting nature, he will not feel that his own relationship with Miss Cutie-Pie is threatened by your continued friendship with her, since you are not engaging in any sexual-related activities... extra points if (1) you perform your entire "repertoire" of pleasant actions wif da gal while she's in da guy's presence a few times, so that he can actually see for himself that all of your behavior is indeed totally "innocent", and (2) you also show him how the chick most loves having her hands, feet, back, shoulders, etc. massaged, so that he himself can please her in a comparably-satisfying manner to the physical-sensory "magic" that you are able to perform on her yourself.

bower-bird bed-buddy

A considerate dude who frequently/diligently tidies/smoothes/re-adjusts the blankets/pillows while canoodling in bed with you, just as the well-known feathered grass-walled-nest dweller does to please a female who drops in to visit.

Tiffany always appreciates my being a bower-bird bed-buddy, since it feels so much more pleasant to sleep with me if the blankets are always neat and uniformly covering us, especially during the cooler seasons.

money-laundering 

Where a clothes-washing-service employee intentionally adds a really muddy/greasy garment or towel to your merely-lightly-soiled laundry, causing the entire load to not get sufficiently cleaned when washed the first time, and therefore "obliging" the worker to throw said wash back into the machine for another full laundering-cycle, which of course you end up getting charged for, and thus the establishment dishonestly makes extra money that way.

I always do my own wash at a self-service laundromat... I don't trust "professional" outfits that do it for you --- too many money-laundering establishments out there!

gradual-ramp-up-volume greeting 

Refers to a non-startling strategy employed whenever you are unable to unobtrusively get someone's attention or make eye-contact with him for whatever reason (maybe he's deep in a book, concentrating hard on a household/carpentry task, or using noisy equipment, and thus he does not look up/around occasionally or hear/observe your presence) and so you start out to say hello by speaking very quietly, and then cautiously raising your voice little-by-little (like some modern-day alarm-clocks do so as to wake you "gently" instead of startling you out of a sound slumber with a full-blast ringer right away) till the previously-oblivious person eventually becomes aware of your proximity and glances up.

I'd wanted to ask my elderly neighbor about my possibly carpooling with him on his grocery-shopping trip the next day, but he was so busy using his riding lawnmower that he never noticed me despite my circling around in front of him several times, so I eventually used the gradual-ramp-up-volume greeting to finally get his attention.

I majjin

A humorously-altered/shortened way of saying, "I would imagine so"; it's mostly used to jovially/light-heartedly tell someone else that his guess/assertion about a particular topic --- usually something comparatively minor/trivial --- sounds probable/logical/reasonable to you.

Cool dude #1, examining a discarded trash-bag with medium-length slits in the middle of the bottom and along both its lower sides: I would say that this bag was probably used as an emergency rain-poncho; wouldn't you majjin??
Cool dude #2: Yeah, I majjin --- the bag looks in good shape otherwise, and those slits appear neat and uniformly-positioned, so I don't suppose they got torn accidentally.

flyby with a "Hello, Tower" 

A step "closer" than just a discreet flyby, this strategy DOES involve actually stopping in to the home/establishment where you wish to unobtrusively check on the conditions/progress of something relating to you, but you still do not actually inquire about said situation; you merely "exchange pleasantries and make small talk" with the people there about the weather or whatever, and then quietly leave again after a minute or two. The theory here is that if there is any problem/delay/question regarding what you are wanting done, the people will likely tell/ask you about it while you're there... they know fully well why you've dropped by --- you are wondering how things are proceeding --- and so there should be no need to make anyone feel pressured or irritated by actually alluding to the subject.

The local garage is often "swamped up to their eyeballs" with the myriad of vehicles brought in for repair, and so it is often a month or more before they are able to get around to addressing a car that I bring in. They do always eventually repair my vehicle, though, so I seldom actually ask them about how soon they can get to it; I simply do a tentative flyby with a "Hello, Tower" every couple weeks, just in case they need to speak with me regarding any problem/holdup with the repairs.

ingreedyents

Cheap/surplus "fillers 'n' extenders" crap (think, water or soybean-cellulose) that money-hungry manufacturers add to "bulk up" the processed-food garbage they sell, without actually adding much if any nutritional value.

Before I buy any groceries other than just basic/simple staple-items like fruits/vegetables or plain cereal, I always check da info on da side or back of da package to see if da product contains any ingreedyents.
