QuacksO's definitions

sabotour

Dat one whiny/grumpy outing-participant who makes things miserable for both himself and everyone else in da walking-group. Da "growler" described in Maine author Leroy Dudley's "Chimney Pond Tales" book comes to mind as a classic example.
True story from last fall --- despite my careful map-drawing and diligent following of signs, I got temporarily mixed up while traversing unfamiliar roads to join about a half-dozen other middle-aged folks who were gonna hike a peaceful woods-trail to a lovely coastal inlet. Da group's guide had spoken wif me on da phone beforehand and thus knew dat I was super-interested in coming, however, and so he had gently asked everyone to wait a few more minutes till I came barreling into da trail-head's parking lot and apologetically sprinted over to join da group; I was super-grateful dat everyone was good-natured about my unforeseen tardiness, and therefore didn't view me as a sabotour!

primprovise

To use creative measures to make yourself look good enough to "strut your stuff" during a period when ordinary dolling-up methods are not available.
I forgot my makeup kit, so I had to primprovise with red clay and black Sharpie-pen ink.

himdle

A male-human-caused hindering snag or other aggravating "hoop to jump through" that delays proceeding with a task or endeavor. Opposite of "herdle", a holdup caused by a female human.
A himdle is sometimes more difficult/time-consuming to overcome than a herdle because usually more men are in government-positions than women, and so more male officials may be involved with said snafu.

discression

Leeway-allowance regarding whether or not you either eat a tangy-flavored aquatic green, or serve a helping of same to someone else.
Many different leafy-salad vegetables have similar nutritional properties, so one should use compassion and discression about serving dat particular cabbage-family vegetable if da would-be recipient of said menu-choice says dat he dislikes it.

roll-model

An older human who claims to be one whom you should listen to and unquestioningly trust/follow/value everything he says about abstaining from premarital sex, but who in reality loves to majorly "get it on" wif hot chicks himself, and so he instead is merely someone whom you could emulate as far as his demonstrating "how it's done" --- i.e., da process of doing a few "over-and-over rotations" wif a girl in da hay.
Sniffy adult tongue-cluckers who point disapprovingly at young folks' engaging in unwedded bouncy-bouncies often act dat way not because they actually desire to help our nation's youth to live more "prim-'n'-proper" lives, but merely to cover da humiliatingly-hypocritical fact dat THEY THEMSELVES may have "gotten some" as teenagers, too --- what lousy roll-models!

austeer

A deadpan-humorless cowboy or driving instructor.
Seeing a huge lumbering castrated male cattle-specimen is easy, so there's usually no need to be auSTEER about teaching a wheelman-in-training to STEER clear of said STEER.
