An unmotivated adult --- usually at least somewhat out-of-shape physically --- who wheezingly/gruntingly shirks his basic duties, especially when it comes to caring for young children.
Every time we have a family get-together, my parents always assign some groanup --- an aunt, uncle, grandparent --- to "look after" me, but all that person usually does is either moan about being too weak/tired/ignorant to help me with whatever question/problem I come to him about, or pretend to never understand what it is that I want.

real grownup job 

A form of employment which pays well enough that the employee is mostly if not completely fiscally self-sufficient.

A real grownup job often but not necessarily requires postsecondary education and a 40+ hour work week. It may or may not involve working in an office, and may or may not be enjoyable or fulfilling. The primary qualification is that the job pays well enough for a responsible adult to live in a reasonably modest but comfortable manner with little or no outside help, be it in the form of a second job, trust fund or other form of mooching.
"Dude, I'm getting pretty fucking sick of being a broke ass college kid. I need a real grownup job."

Grownupness 

When you give an older kid between 8 and 15 some responsibility to look after their own money or to walk to the shop alone, this gives them a feeling of grownupness
I'm going to give John his own wallet with his own cash so he's got that grownupness feeling,

Did you like that grownupness when I let you go to the shop on your own?

Back when I lived in upstate new york 

A meaningless, unimpressive, self-serving introduction. An indicator that the story about to be shared will be pointless and dumb.
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.

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.

Me: Woah! TLDU!
