attiquette

The protocol that AT&T subscribers use a minimum of five times per day when a call they are on is dropped. Of particular importance to iPhone 4.0 users.
It is common attiquette that upon realizing a call has been dropped, ONLY the original caller should attempt to re-establish the conversation, not the recipient of the original call. This is done so to avoid the situation where both callers repeatedly try to call one another only to be routed directly into each other's voicemail.

expected-ettiquette easement 

What one person temporarily grants another due to their both always being super-respectful/thoughtful towards each other, and so da person granting said obligation-suspension --- in gratitude for the other person's always thinking of his friend's feelings/desires above his own, just as da favor-giver himself diligently does for da second person --- wants to allow da favored individual extra relaxation, comfort, calmness, etc., by letting him do/have more than his share of whatever easy/enjoyable activity or resource dat he is currently partaking of.
One "prime 'n' pleasant" example of expected-ettiquette easement would be if two cool dudes are in love wif da same adorable hot chick, and one of dem is snuggling naked wif her in bed wif his head contentedly nestled on her warm chest, wif his face buried between her tits. Then da second guy comes along and is considerately asked by da first one if he wants a turn at ear-nuzzling da gal's heavenly-soft chest-pillowz, whereupon said second Mr. Snuggly --- feeling "all warm and fuzzy" himself at his friend's selfless offering to "give up his ultimate-pleasure spot" in order to share da lovely velvety-fleshed damsel's luscious body wif his buddy --- good-naturedly waves off said feelings-sensitive proffering ("Nah, you're fine, Pal --- juss' lie still and relax --- because I'm a nice guy, I'll forgo my own luscious-protoplasm cravings for da time being, and let you stay there and enjoy yourself more, especially since YOU'RE such a nice guy to always think of MY feelings like that!"), and instead allows da currently-contentedly-cuddling dude to maintain his dreamily-enjoyable position, while he himself merely crawls in bed next to da gal from da other side, and then just quietly spoons up against her for a while.

Sister: This meeting was to discuss the rough draft of my essay, where we discussed the subsidiary questions I added in my rough draft. We also discussed the relationship between my main title and the real-life situations I chose to use in my essay. We discussed the structure of my essay as well, specifically the Math AOK section and how it relates to the contradiction of the title. This second meeting was particularly helpful in discussing the implications of my essay claims and how to apply the title across various areas of knowledge. There were many sections of the essay that could have been cut down in wordiness and the ways of knowing required further and more in-depth analysis.
