QuacksO's definitions

herdles

Can refer to one of two female-related issues:
(1) da women's-rights difficulties dat da likes of Susan B Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton helped overcome, or
(2) da difficulties dat a single dude has to overcome to land himself a bed-warmer.

Different gals have widely-varying types and levels of standards and expectations, and so a bachelor may face more or fewer herdles depending on which chick he's courting.

front-lawn storefront

A.k.a. "yard sale". Often you can get good bargains on good-quality household items there, but you hafta always watch out for damaged/defective/worn-out items and inflated prices.

Brick-and-mortar shops do indeed usually charge a lot more for stuff than a front-lawn storefront, but yard-sale items usually don't come with a warranty or money-back guarantee, so it's kind of a trade-off..

interragate

To grill someone regarding a topsoil-based crime.

In Sid Fleischman's book, "McBroom Tells a Lie", da wily Heck Jones was surreptitiously snitching tiny amounts of super-earth from da unsuspecting Farmer Josh's "wonderful one-acre farm" by using a hollow-tipped cane, wet shoes, and feeding hens, but said honest Irish crop-grower only realized about said sneaky pilfering after da fact, and so he was unable to effectively interragate his scrawny neighbor about it.

militerry

Joining da militerry may not entitle you to wear fancy-shmancy colorful and starched outfits, but you'll definitely be more comfy in warmer weather.
