WhyMCA

A popular song from "da good ol' days" about a singer's friends asking him his reasoning behind signing on with the Music Corporation of America for producing his music-albums, instead of other record-companies like Sony, Philips, Decca, etc.

I am really puzzled as to why my favorite band didn't take BMG up on its much-better contract-offer for releasing their music... if I even get to meet the group in person, one of the first things I'd ask them would be, "WhyMCA?"

homieopathy

Spending time wif one or more of your local chums in order to ease your cravings for a large crowd of friendly folks.

If yer trying to cure yourself of going to bingo, homieopathy might be a suitable regimen, since da company of all da other players is one major reason dat a lot of people find da game appealing, not merely da prospect of wining a sizeable "pot".

philaundering

Refers to one of two despicable actions regarding illicit affairs:
(1) taking steps to make said dallying --- or an unexpected "result"; i.e. one or more offspring --- seem proper and correct, or

(2) indulging in a little nooky-wooky with one or more fellow customers in a room full of coin-operated Maytags, Whirlpools, and Speed Queens.

If you accidentally conceive a child by "doing it" while "doing" your wash, you may need to enlist someone with savvy diplomacy to perform a little philaundering for you, and thus avoid a public scandal.

VHS-preview

Refers to where you wish to view a certain motion-picture creation for the first time, but DVDs or BluRay disks of that title are rather pricey, and so you are hesitant to shell out that much when you can't be sure that you would even like the movie all that much, anyway. So what you do is to initially purchase a used VHS tape of said film for just two or three bucks... sure, the tape may be an old worn scratchy thing that doesn't give all that pristine a picture, but at least you will be able to view the movie and see what it's about and how good it is, and then decide if you wanna "upgrade" to a more-costly digital disc of this title.

Now that so many older movie-titles are available on YouTube and other online video-viewing sites, there is often less of a need to perform a VHS-preview of a particular movie, since you may be able to just watch it online, and thus be able to "determine for free" if you want to buy a copy of it on DVD or BluRay.

third semester

Da classes-attending term in a college year when a female student starts to really "show".

When a "loose" local chick announced dat she was in her final trimester, I assumed she meant dat she was taking her third semester in college; da only puzzling part about it is dat none of da area-colleges seemed to have any record of her ever having registered wif dem.

hairoin

A drug that makes your cranial-fur longer and thicker.

The real reason that hairoin is illegal is the same as it is for marijuana, ephedra, tryptophan, and some other substances --- it **works** and is **cheap**, and so the greedy scalp-tonic companies that sell all these costly growth-stimulation products that often produce little or no actual results don't want it on the market... it isn't harmful or hazardous; it would just put them out of business!!

IKIA effect

The feeling that an action or object is more special/virtuous/valuable if it was performed or acquired while riding/driving in a KIA automobile.

"KIA --- the power to surprise." If you actually believe in the IKIA effect, you will certainly experience some "surprise", all right --- anything that happens while being transported by a KIA vehicle probably will not actually be any more amazing or notable than if it occurred in any other common brand of car.
