Convenient one word term for the otherwise clumsy "take out of context". Obviously derived from context and extricate (latter meaning to elaborately and deviously withdraw from a precarious situation). This is new coinage - you heard it on Urban Dictionary first.
The attorney contextricated his client's ex-wife tennis lessons on summer afternoons to give them the appearance of a tawdry romance ostensibly culminating in a tryst.

The sound of hocking, and then aiming the hock to perfectly hit the rim of the spitoon to make the "-tung!!" sound. It made everyone pay attention, hence its other, more common definition. Alleged to be the first word in the German language, on which all other words are based.

damper, crimp, nix, veto, scotch, debunkification or discouraging word. Origins quite the mystery; no substantiation of the obvious contender, Polish sausage (kielbasa). WC Fields should have invented the term, but he did not. As of 2006, >99% of use is in the form "put the kiebash on".
