legal profession

The euphemism used by members of the illegal profession to distract the public from the conflict of interest that is inherent to the nature of their work.
Members of the legal profession wouldn't need to distract us if they didn't get paid a week's wage for an hour's work.

Preparing to Hibernate

What sWindles says when it starts up after hibernating.
sWindles meant to tell you that it's preparing to hibernate before it hibernates because it thinks that you're such a complete idiot that you don't know that you just told it to hibernate. However, since sWindles is the idiot that it thought you were, it tells you when it wakes up instead.

constituency

In the language of politicians and those who govern, the constituency are those who are governed, or supposedly represented, by legislators and executive officials.

Legislators really represent attorneys. See politician, legislator, attorney, and conflict of interest for further details.
In a true Democracy, the constituency would be self-governing. However, that might endanger the livelihood of legislators and politicians, so it isn't done that way.

CB

Citizens Band radio; state of the art in communications circa 1960, and all the rage in 1976 after the release of technological advances and the song Convoy. Popularity inspired further advances and lower prices, increasing popularity further.

CB remained the primary mode of mobile communications until cell phones became popular, and remains so in locations where cellular coverage is not available, among some truckers, rednecks, and power-tripping cottonpickers with linears.

Other monikers include, squawk box, radidio, on the line, ears, modjuputer, two-way, talk box, and toy phone.
Some bible-mouths still expect you to speak a dialect of slang called slanguage when using CB.

mantiques

A niche of the antique industry that caters specifically to men, with merchandise such as railroad, firefighting, and shaving memorabilia, old pin-ups, knives, weapons, GI Joes, toy guns, and cars. A play on words, combining man and antique.
Several vendors at the Loleta antique show offer nothing but mantiques.
