Imus learn some better manners

What "The Don" should have said to himself before he ever became a radio personality.

audition and subtraction

What happens when a new movie is being planned --- lots of "hopefuls" go in to try out for various part, but most of them get "taken away" (i.e., rejected) from the pool of possible prospects.

I like watching the "making of" bonus-material in DVDs of famous films... lots of interesting and informative material there. So often, the producers speak about how difficult the process of audition and subtraction was: "There was a lot of really awesome talent that we had to choose from , so it always really hurt us to apologetically tell some of the application that --- while they were indeed very good at what they did --- they just weren't quite what we were looking for in this particular movie.

mittigating circumstances

Situational details regarding the catcher in a baseball game; specifically, factors which could justify his being viewed/treated more leniently regarding any perceived wrongdoing that he may have been involved in.

Charlie Brown's baseball glove is much too large for him, so the fact that he frequently misses or drops the ball should perhaps be viewed less harshly, given these mittigating circumstances.

hospitalble

Describes welcoming and pleasant-mannered doctors, nurses, and EMT.

I am as appreciative as anyone logically would be for friendly attentive staffpeople in an ER or examination/operating room, but I get a bit concerned and suspicious if said employees seem TOO hospitalble, in that it makes me wonder if they are gonna try to "milk the system" by keeping me there longer than necessary, instead of speedily getting me on the road to recovery and then moving on to other patients.
