Badhairhat
A hat worn when you are having a bad hair day. This can be any type of hat, as long as it covers up your bad hair. Badhairhats are frequently worn the day after a party, due to the fact that a hangover is the major cause of terrible hair.
"Why is Tom wearing that awful hat?"
"Oh, that's just his badhairhat."
"Are you going to the festival tonight?"
"No I can't. I have a business meeting tomorrow and I don't want to show up with a badhairhat."

Back when I lived in upstate new york, I also had to park on the street - on two occasions, we got enough snow, mixed with just the right plowing, that my car was lifted off the ground from so much snow being jammed underneath it.

TLDU
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.
