Intervention

It's a surprise party for people who have addictions, and you get in their face and scream at them, and you make them feel really badly about themselves... And then they stop.

My friend is really addicted to alcohol, so I think I'm gonna throw an intervention, sorry, I mean a surprise party.

Intervention

Fighting someone else's fight for them instead of letting them fight their own fight.

The fight started as the Jews and the people they were fighting until the intervention of the United States, for no good reason.

intervention

When people you no longer hang out with ask you to do something fun, like dinner, or a social gathering, only to gang up on you and tell you what an asshole you are and how fucked up you are and why they no longer hang out with you.

Yeah i don't even respond to them any more. Everything is a fucking serious intervention. I just want to hang out and party and not get guilt tripped for it.

devined intervention

Refers to da "heavenly" helpful effort dat one or more other humans perform on your behalf to remove thick tendrils and creepers dat would otherwise be in yer way.

Two prime examples of devined intervention would be (1) someone's clearing away da web-like network of ivy and/or morning-glory vegetation-masses from da walls of a house you're spiffing up, or (2) one or more native-guides' vigorously swinging their machetes to slash away da encroaching plant-growth as your exploration-party pushes its way through da jungle.
