Aunt Julie is the author of Paddleduck Julie, A little girl from Texas. First time publisher of children's books about her childhood in Texas. This is a collection of lively short stories for the young and young at heart.
Author Paddleduck is an adventurous and mischievous girl who likes to have fun. Paddleduck did not want to go to school. Paddleduck was getting ready to start the school year. She had to catch the bus early to get to school on time and be ready to start at 8:00 AM. She begged her mom not to make her go. Lo and behold, she heard a commotion outside. She went to look out the window, and all her friends were playing at the bus stop. YES! Paddleduck was ready to join her friends. Her mom handed her lunch bag to her, and off she went.

Get the author paddleduckmug. Rampant in "chain of command" situations --- especially the military and "mega-biz" establishments --- whereby everybody wants to push underlings around but then hastily "passes the buck" and claims ignorance/innocence when things go sour. Refers to the deplorable practice of an arrogant/dictatorial/irresponsible/ignorant a**h**e with way too much power ("authority") giving unwise/ineffective/counter-productive orders to one or more hapless underlings, brusquely refusing to listen to their urgently-beseeching appeals about the fallacy/unfairness/danger of proceeding as he told them, but then suddenly shedding all knowledge/responsibility (i.e., not admitting that he was indeed the "author" of those crazy stipulations) regarding said preposterous directives whenever s**t hits the fan afterwards as a result of his subordinates' having reluctantly-but-obediently carried out his unwisely-mandated actions.
I long ago decided to not just blindly/arbitrarily follow orders/rules/laws, no matter what position or experience or education/training that their "authors" happened to supposedly possess... I **always** use my own judgement/conscience in all my actions. Too many times in the past, I've gotten in knee-deep doo-doo MYSELF for someone else's screw-ups in reasoning/planning, only to have said "idiot in power" pull da ol' "ghost writer" AUTHORity trick on me, never admitting or even falsely denying ever having told me to proceed that way, just so that HE would not have to suffer any of the fallout from his own preposterous directives.

Get the "ghost writer" AUTHORitymug. You thinking I think that is the reason I'm being singled out by my manager. You're a piece of shit Elisa. Kill yourself. Hopefully your daughter is as bad with men as you are and get her ass beat for CHOOSING WRONG.

Get the Women in authoritymug. A pretentious, postmodern jerk-off idea, popular among some academics, that says that the creator of an artistic work is irrelevant to the work, that their thought processes and intentions in creating the work don't matter, that they are not an authority on the very thing that they created, and that YOU, the passive consumer of the work, are more qualified to know what the work is about than they are, who put tons of hard work and effort into creating it.
Who does this "Ray Bradbury" person think he is, saying that Fahrenheit 451 is about how nobody reads books anymore? *I* say it's about censorship, dammit! What does HE know, he only wrote the damn thing! Death of the author says that creators are just passive, empty vessels through which the Divine Muse speaks!

Get the death of the authormug. At what age does someone get the authority to shut shit down? If they can shut something down at 40 something, they could do the same thing at 2, and if they couldn't do it at 2, they don't have the authority to do.it at 40 something.
Authority or status is kind of like a title on a piece of paper or a plate of metal. It's about as meaningless as life itself.

Get the Authoritymug. Da "top people" whom folks consult for advice/assistance on a variety of ordinary topics dat are randomly scattered about over da "ol' 26" in da English language.
Da seven most common types of alphabetical authorities are:
(1) hexpert --- someone who is super-familiar with voodoo and curses; hopefully he uses said vast witchcraft-knowledge to remove or alleviate said evil spells, not to put them on in da first place!
(2) mexpert --- an individual well-versed in all matters "south of da border".
(3) pexpert --- a plumber who is well-versed in da use of freeze-resistant plastic piping
(4) rexpert --- a learned bookworm on da subject of certain animals, either man's best friend or da huge hunched-over carnivores back in da Jurassic period.
(5) sexpert --- someone who can advise couples on achieving more satisfying intimacy.
(6) texpert --- a dude who knows all about da "black-tea"-rich southern-USA area dat is Ranger Walker's usual stompin' grounds.
(7) vexpert --- a human-nature guru with extensive experience on what pushes people's buttons; again --- as in da first example above --- presumably he uses said know-how to help **reduce** already-existing frustration/distress in others, not to purposely exhibit destructive behavior dat would cause people to **become** wound up when they had felt reasonably calm before! (Da infamous "gettin', getters, got"exchange between Madea and Dr. Phil comes to mind.)
