weight up

.............................

Weight up! You're going to wreck on the guard if we don't corn broom you harder!

Okay I'll focus my delivery weight on getting the package to the house.

protestant 

n. a person who protests any injustice, usually with a high degree of enthusiasm or zealotry. Originally applied only to people protesting the constraints of the Roman Catholic Church it is now, in a kind of protest, applicable to other causes. The word "protestation" has , of course, never been constrained.
..............................

Look at all those protestants occupying Wall Street! Where are the authorities?

I think their lack of intervention means they're protestants too.

occupie 

n. The ultimate goal of the Occupy Wall Street protesters, and, by extension, the goal of protesters everywhere, in any field (or parking lot).

.............................

We are not rudderless slackers with no goals. We are fighting for a piece of the occupie!

Not much of a fight dude.

tentcity 

n. A short street-wise variation on "intensity" tailored for the Occupy Wall Street protest and similar movements where "occupations in tents" occur. The implication is that more and more dwellers showing up, with their tents, signs and badly-tuned guitars, will strenghthen the movement.

.............................

Man, this protest is never going nowhere unless we can turn up the tentcity.

Yeah the tentcity got to be strong if we are going to stick it to the man.

Sluiceville 

place. Withered town relying on rock-hound tourism to keep afloat. The kindness of strangers pays the wages at the Food and Fuel Emporium as well as Hiram's Hostelry and the trickle-down effect stops the leakage of young adults to the sleaze of the bigger towns in the Greater Gravelbend Region.

Rock collectors and iron pyrite enthusiasts congregate at the sluiceworks where steam-driven donkey-pumps have been keeping the tailings dry since 1846 when the gold ran out.

A new high fence is being hastily constructed upstream from town.

Cheese making and quilt pressing are now the main cottage-industries along with whittlin' likenesses of Grover Cleveland, who was born just up the river.

A gravel-slide that destroyed the saltine factory is surmounted by a cairn constructed of imported pebbles brought to the site by pilgrims after a local trapper had a dream in which he was commanded to build an edifice of stones to commemorate the disaster.

Aleuts have recently built a new seasonal encampment upstream from town.

..............................

Let's take some pebbles up to Sluiceville to build up the cairn a bit. We could get the quilt pressed too if the line isn't too long.

dream duster

n. Wide-eyed person of little energy who doesn't actively pursue his/her dreams; the dreams are arranged on shelves, admired, dusted carefully, and seldom become real.

.............................

The world is calling you. Get some hearing aids if you have to and don't be such a dream duster.
