re-permission

Refers to a confirmation of a previously-granted go-ahead dat you either periodically request from da same person who had already said dat a desired-by-you action was okay sometime in da past but you are concerned dat his circumstances might have changed in da meantime and so you'd better query him again to make sure dat he's still okay wif it, or ask for from da new owners/managers of whatever objects/property dat you'd previously been allowed to access by whoever was runnin' da show before it changed hands; for all you know, this present authority-figure's policies/conditions might be different from da previous owner's, and so it might NOT be okay wif HIM for you to continue doing whatever you'd been permitted in da past.

I occasionally cause unintentional irritation/impatience wif home/business-owners when requesting re-permission for some favor/allowance dat had always given to me in da past (they might exasperatedly snort, "We already said last year that you may do that, Dude --- why do you need to ask us again?" or, "Well, of COURSE it's okay with us, Buddy --- we've always had total respect for So-And-So's judgement, and so if HE said that you are a safe/honest/responsible person, then naturally we would trust his word and allow you the same privilege ourselves!"), but I figger dat I would likely get into a lot MORE dutch if I DIDN'T ask again on some unfortunate occasion when I SHOULD have "just checked to make sure", and so I would rather take da much-lesser risk of merely annoying someone wif my question, rather than potentially making him super-upset wif me if I naively did something dat he was not --- or no longer --- okay wif.

Re-Boot

when an electrical appliance / machine like a photocopier, computer / printer doesn't want to work and in a vain attempt to get the said appliance working, the user will kick (boot) the machine / appliance to try and get it to work

"the photocopier doesn't seem to be working"

"here let me see if I can re-boot it"

Re-In or Re In

When something that was once in style/popularity, looses its hype, and gains it back again.

past tense: re-inned

To re-in something:re-ins
Someone who re-ins something:re-inner

Yea man, Christmas sweaters are Re-Inned every year during the holidays.

Dude, I swear I was the one to Re-In the raw food diet.

Re-In or Re In, both will work.
