Provement

The action of tinkering with existing technologies to determine their best fit and working relationship in connection to larger networks or devices in an actual operating system. Provement occurs outside of theory, and relates to practice and anti-fragility.
"We conducted a pilot test of the batteries and the generators so that the provement process could take place in a working radio network."

I don’t want to be the one to tell my daughter that ‘Miss Fluffy’ is now a pavement pancake.

Pavement Fairy

British Royal Navy slang dating from around the time of World War I. A Pavement Fairy is the name for a prostitute, whore or woman of easy virtue. The pavement part comes from these women having 'beats' on the pavement of a particular street, whilst the fairy has nothing to do with homosexuality, but possibly derives from Cinderella's Fairy Godmother who makes wishes come true.

At one time Union Street, in Plymouth UK was notorious for the numbers of pavement fairies plying their trade to give solace to soldiers, sailors and Royal Marines. There's even a rude version of the Irish folk song 'The Spanish Lady' that mentions both Plymouth and a pavement fairy:

As I walked into Plymouth City,
Union Street it was late at night,
There did I see a pavement fairy
Washing her snatch in the pale moonlight,
First she washed it then she dried it
Over a fire of red hot coal
In all my life I ne'er did see
So much singed hair round a dirty great hole.
Joe's out on the razzle tonight, but he's goin' for the pavement fairy first before he gets too pissed.

North American Pavement Ape

A derogatory term for an American of African descent, typically who you would call "gangstas" and see in the "hood" or "ghetto." They are addressed as such since they spend most of their lives in the wild - mainly lurking in alleys and selling crack or mugging people. You can catch them off guard during the day by offering them grape soda.
Dude, did you see those niggers back there?

Be specific! Those are North American Pavement Apes!
