malodorous: A stench that would drive a lame badger out of its hole
Badger:
Badger: A small animal that reminds me of a skunk my dog once had an encounter with.
Encounter:
Encounter: to meet. There are many kinds of encounters. Close Encounters of the Third Kind means you have ran into Extraterrestrials. Supernatural encounters mean you see, hear, or are touched by ghosts. A Death Fetch encounter means you run into yourself...
Extraterrestrials:
Extraterrestrials: These are a kind of alien who aren’t coming from Mexico or as refugees from some politically messed up part of the world but who come from outer space and have somehow, because they are so much smarter than we are, overcome the deadly radiation and the immense distance that is supposed to keep them home. They are pictured with big heads showing huge brain capacity and big eyes showing that they see better than we do with laser guns in hand just in case we don’t behave.
Alien:
Alien: Sod the kind that sneaks in from Latin America and elsewhere--my heart goes out to some of those people, so desperate are they, but I'd rather talk about the other kind of aliens, that being ET. I believe so firmly in the search for these buggers and in their discovery within the next few decades that only last night I bought a SETI T-shirt to support their efforts and proudly declare my affinity. And I don't think they'll 'ave big 'eads or carry ray guns, I think they'll come in boats that drift across the stars...
Transcendent:
Transcendent: To go beyond anything known or measured; to exceed expectations. Thus the nature of God would transcend human knowledge, yet man believes that he either knows everything or is likely to find out, thus ruining the use of transcendent
Bumbershoot:
Bumbershoot: An umbrella, or a large music faire held in Seattle every year. Thanks for the new word, Pendragon, me droogie.
Tam o'shanter. And no he wasn't the guy slated to play Captain Kirk before that lout Shatner stole the role.
Tam O’Shanter: A bonnet worn by some Scottish males, probably the same males who wore kilts.
Easter Bonnet:
Easter Bonnet: What Scottish males have to wear when the shoppes are out of Tam O'Shanters. Of course, then they have to wear rouge and be all coquettish like.
Wee lass:
Wee Lass: A female who lets her Scottish male win an arm wrestling competition.
Arm Wrestling:
Arm Wrestling: Contrary to the name, arm wrestling involves more than the arm. I have seen people almost get out of their seat to put body weight behind the arm. Oh, and the limb can and will break. You have been warned.
Behinder, from my neck of the woods, Cheddar old chum!
Now here I am trying to comply with the PG-13 standard I was warned to comply with, and you go saying 'behinder,' Pendragon, you rogue. Well, I can't be blamed for answering. Or can I. Behinder: Urban Dictionary says it's a Greek person who is known for 'giving it from behind Greek style.' Although one wonders why the person doing the giving has to be Greek. I've heard tell some of our finest Congressmen, on a Saturday night--<cough>--that is...what I mean to say is...Also, some of the manliest members of the Aryan Brotherhood ever to occupy our maximum security prisons are known to favor this form of intimacy with other manly white men...and little boys...and farm animals. Also, there'd be no adult film industry without said approach to loving, and then what would all those young hopeful actresses in Hollywood do to pay the rent.
Going in the tradesman's entrance:
Cheddar, here in these Mountains it is a curious creature that stalks one through the woods. You can never see it, because it is always behind you, thus it is called a "behinder". That other definition you gave I have never heard of, and having heard it, I will endeavor to forget it!
Going in the tradesman's entrance: Once this meant you were unworthy of showing up at the front door, as you were not upper crust. Anyone, including people who might actually have an appointment with the Master or Mistress of the house but were not on the same class level would be told to use the Tradesman's Entrance, which was around back or at the side, both not visible from the front door. What it means now I shudder to think...
Upper Crust:
You certainly can shudder, if you wish, Pendragon, but why not have a bit of fun with it? 'Going in the tradesman's entrance' can indeed be used interchangeably with behinder--or, if you prefer, the title of Led Zeppelin's eighth studio album, In Through the Out Door.
Storming the Trenches:
Upper Crust: The top, doughy part of a pie that is visible for inspection. It floats above a middle substance which is supported by another doughy part that is just as tasty but not fit for proper display.
Storming the Trenches: Assume your enemy has dug trenches to hide in while they shoot stuff at you. Assume you don’t like this. Assume you don’t have decent aircraft bombers or tanks to cover up the trenches stopping this noxious behavior. Assume none of your own soldiers want to jump in the trenches and fight the enemy hand to hand. Then you call the rainmaker and ask him (or her) to start a rainstorm and keep it going until the storm floods the trenches. Problem solved.
Noxious:
