    Yoga: An ancient Indian approach to spiritual union applied in the modern world to physical health, and marketed aggressively by fitness companies and celebrity trainers who could give a rat's arse about spiritual and would rather have your money, as those boy toys aren't getting any cheaper.

    Hunting: A messy, outdoorsy sort of thing wot we had to do before there was Amazon. Now, soon, between 3D printers, delivery drones and robot butlers, we won't even have to get up off our bedsore-ridden hind ends, neither.

    Firebrand: Someone who tries to get a crowd emotionally excited usually with negative intentions directed at an external target. Using an old mechanistic metaphor, a firebrand likes to “wind up” a crowd. This should be distinguished from “pushing that crowd’s buttons”. Although this is also a mechanistic metaphor, it is more likely to lead to the firebrand getting a non-metaphoric “butt kicking”.

    Pushing someone's buttons:

    Pushing someone's buttons: 1)Deliberately discussing controversial topics with someone with an opposing view 2) Deliberately making annoying noises, playing loud music, cutting people off in traffic, letting your dog go in the neighbor's yard-- you get the picture. In this day of "political correctness" and armed citizens, it is a good way to get yourself shot!

    Shoot: Something which apparently can involve either turkey or crap. Mysterious, really, when you think about it.

    Lyrics: Words to a song which you know by heart until it comes to trying to sing it on amateur night when you stare into the crowd like a deer in the headlights, hit a noticeable wrong cord on your guitar, open your mouth and as drool splashes out gasp out what you think are the correct words but they aren't

    Guitar:
    Some of us laugh
    Some of us cry
    Some of us smoke
    Some of us lie
    But it's all just the way
    that we cope with our lives...

    Guitar: That thing which I play about 1/100th as well as I'd like to and dream of, and which has historically attracted most of my cash, as it still does, since between shiny new guitars and neat new pedals I could easily spend all of Bill Gates' money and more.

    Money Pit: Specifically, a "treasure pit" located on Oak Island, just off Nova Scotia, Canada where people have been trying to solve the mystery since 1795. That the "pit" was the work of men there is no doubt, but whoever created it wanted to really hold on to whatever is down there. Thousands of dollars have been sunk into the effort to get to the bottom of the mysterious "treasure", likely enough over more than two centuries to cover any treasure found there and more. The only money in that pit is what has been thrown down the toilet by "investors" in a legendary "treasure." see http://www.oakislandmoneypit.com/
