Meditation: Staring at one’s navel until it falls off.
Navel:
Navel: One's belly button, the contemplation of which is supposedly very relaxing. Why it should differ from say, one's big toe, I haven't a clue.
Boisterous:
Whoops, didn't mean to skip you up above, Pen.
Boisterous: A somewhat louder exuberance than girlsterous.
Filament

Thread:
Thread: 1) thin string used to sew with 2) Thin clues to go with 3) Thin topic to crow with
Eat crow:
Eat Crow: What one should do after realizing one is wrong, but with the help of avoidance techniques most cognitive dissonance can be rationalized away thereby kicking the can down the road and giving the crow a chance to fly away.
Road:
Road: An endless black ribbon leading from nowhere to nothing with all eternity in between
Wreck:
Wreck: What happens when a fast moving car meets a slow moving wall.

Positive Identification: An identification made with 100%, absolute, no-exception confidence of being accurate until other evidence pops up that positively shows it to be otherwise. For example,

Confidence:
Confidence: Doubt expressed loud and firmly

Then we know we didn’t. Then we figure there may be more important things to worry about.
Worry:
Worry: A totally useless occupation that never changes the situation
Stress:
