"White-coats" are all the specialist doctors you hate going to see because you just know instinctively there is nothing wrong with you - but that the white coats are going to insist on taking gallons of blood off you, and prod you and stick you in noisy machines that give you as headache.
"And after that, it then will be mum carting me off to yet another white-coat, who will prod me around while I’m semi-naked, take litres of blood off me, mutter a lot, and will then prescribe pills to take each day, to calm me down!"

"Wonder what’s in those lovely-smelling molecules that get breathed out the ground into dawnsmell, after the first rains?"

"It's pissing outside, first storm of the rainy season and millions of big, ploppy raindrops are bunker-bombing themselves into the drought-hibernized ground, busting up its crust to release the smell of petrichor."

Being germ-polite is when you do not sneeze or cough all over someone next to you when you are full of flu or cold germs. Nor do you sneeze or cough into your hand and then shake someone else's hand. Neither is your house germ-polite if you allow your cat to walk over the kitchen surfaces or the dining room table without then wiping them clean. Nor are you germ-polite if you stroke your cat or dog or other pet and then, without first washing your hands, you touch food that other people are going to eat.
Crikey - I hate going to eat at that person's house - it's not germ-polite. They let that horrible, dribbly cat of theirs walk all over their kitchen work surfaces. And no I am not a paranoid-android I just don't like people sharing their germs with me!

Is like when a lion swipes at its prey and hooks one its front paw dewclaws into whatever it's chasing or clouting at, so the prey animal just cant escape.
"I have to stay calm and try and eye-dominate you because if I don’t, and you’re not too thick or lazy, you’re quite capable of rearing up on your hind legs, and then dewclaw-hooking me off this horizontal tree-branch with a swipe of one front paw."

A person who has nothing good to say about almost anything or anyone, and who usually manages to say it in such a vicious or extremely sarcastic way that those people who are listening always want to make immediate excuses to leave and be somewhere else

Those lovely, unknown, rain-smelling molecules released from the ground into the night air after the first rains, ready to hit the olfactory receptors of your own still-a-bit-asleep-nose as you wake up to a new dawn.
"She is aware the air on the plateau is filled with the scent of olfactorins after the first rains as she continues to pound her way onwards: her eyes focussed now on her distant goal, the two, upside-down baobabs at the edge of the escarpment."
