obeast

An individual who is so fat he or she looks like a beast.
When Yung Ho came from Asia to New York she saw that compared to Asians most New Yorkers were fat, but when she visited Texas she saw that a lot of Texans were obese and some were what her boyfriend called "obeast" (so fat they look like a beast).

"At least they're very happy eating more than their fair share of food—every day!" her Mother said. "Do the math," her cousin said, "if—for example—a woman whose optimum weight is 100- pounds and she's 50-pounds overweight, every day she's gotta eat the amount of food which one-and-a-half people of her optimum weight eat. Do food sellers like fat people? They love them.

next line hyphen

A method to differentiate a dash placed at the end of a line to indicate that a word has been separated into two parts because it did not fit on a line, from a hyphen inserted between two or more words, such as "hands-on", "brother-in-law", or "state-of-the-art".
It is best to differentiate a dash placed at the end of a line to indicate that a word has been separated into two parts because it did not fit on a line, from a hyphen in a compound word such as "hands-on".

A "compound word" is comprised of two or more words and has a hyphen between each word.

If a line ends in "able-" and the next line says "bodied", readers automatically interpret "able", followed by "body", to mean "ablebodied". Most people do not remember that the correct way to write "ablebodied" is with a hyphen (able-bodied). I call this method to differentiate dashes from hyphens the "next line hyphen".

If the last word on a line of text says "for-", and the first word of the next line says "profit", the logical way to interpret the dash is as being a dash, though in reality, the writer means “for-profit”, not “forprofit”.

Truth Upholding

Writing down the exact words each individual says (or only the keywords) and/or electronically recording the words to deter speakers in a discussion, argument, conversation, or negotiation from making false statements, saying they said something other than what they said or saying they did not say something they said.
Because human beings tend to make false statements it is extremely helpful to practice Truth Upholding.

disguised agenda writings
Leslie P.N. Cheatin Standin, founder of the Live Perfectly Here Now facebook group is suing her mobile device's manufacturer in Harmonious Rhythmic Gluteal Impact Ejaculation Court to get that court to order his Internet Service Provider and his mobile device's manufacturer to stop regularly interfering with and sabotaging some of the actions she attempts to execute on her mobile device.

In the preceding 4-years, she has logged in her journal almost every instance of that type of interference. Last night, for ample ex-PAM-ple, she made an audio-recording on her mobile device and playing it back heard how in some parts the audio was perfect, but in other parts was less audible or inaudible. Differences which she believes were activated remotely.

In court, the accused said it was a practical joke and pleaded NOLO CONTENDERE to the charge of REMOTELY INTERFERING WITH A CUSTOMER'S ELECTRONIC ACTIVITY. What does that have to do with "disguised agenda writings"?
