gallerina

young woman receptionist in a gallery, essentially a gallery ballerina. essentially a slur indicating her youth, inexperience and lack of justification for having attitude while working a menial job, from 'sex in the city'

I'm not going to let some little gallerina make me feel like an idiot for not knowing what gaklyd is - look sweetie, you're just a clerk.

the fear

paranoia/ panic caused by marijuana use

origin: William S Burroughs, LETTER FROM A MASTER ADDICT ON DANGEROUS DRUGS: "Cannabis Indica (hashish, marijuana). --The effects of this drug have been frequently and luridly described: disturbance of space-time perception, acute sensitivity to impressions, and flight of ideas, laughing jags, silliness. Marijuana is a sensitizer, and the results are not always pleasant. It makes a bad situation worse. Depression becomes despair, anxiety panic. I have already mentioned my horrible experience with marijuana during acute morphine withdrawal. I once gave marijuana to a guest who was mildly anxious about something ("On bum kicks" as he put it). After smoking half a cigarette he suddenly leapt to his feet screaming, "I got the fear!" and rushed out of the house."

turn out

to lead a woman into prostitution. this is somewhat archaic - term possibly more in use in the 70's-80's

"Like other girls lured into prostitution at a young age, the one known in court only as A.P. will probably suffer for a long time.

And the man who turned her out, putting the runaway on the streets of the District at age 12 to turn tricks, should suffer just as long, a federal judge said yesterday."

usually, when you turn out a girl she becomes your whore, and then you're her pimp.
