Gravity:
Gravity: A theory that those who are trying to levitate during their yoga class will have to overcome.
Yoga:
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.
Marketing:
Marketing: The art of making someone want something they don’t need.
Hunting:
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.
Lazy:
......
Lazy: Horizontally inclined on a couch with...
Firebrand:
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!
Gun Rights:
Gun Rights: The rights of a honest, law-abiding gun to shoot whomever it pleases.
Shoot:
Shoot: Something which apparently can involve either turkey or crap. Mysterious, really, when you think about it.
Blunderbuss:
Blunderbuss: A bus that took the wrong turn.
Lyric:
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:
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:
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/
Devil's Tower:
Devils Tower: An igneous intrusion in Wyoming where the softer surface long ago has eroded away leaving the igneous stuff to take its sweet time.
Intrusion:
The summer after Close Encounters of the Third Kind came out, I, as a fourteen-year-old devotee of the film, was on a trip out west and out of my mind to see and visit Devil's Tower, which I did, 'cause it had been used as the UFO landing site in the climactic final scene of the movie. Now, I should tell you, a UFO didn't actually land there. It was all just pretend.
Intrusion: OK, since joining this site, in view of its high-brow nature, I have been extraordinarily restrained, and I shall continue to do so, since I don't want to get booted. Therefore, rather than actually defining this word, I'll leave it to each of you to imagine what a foul-minded, uncouth, maggot-ridden low-life *might* say if he were left to his own devices. Not that I would. I'm couth.
Coot:
Coot: The guy with the white mustache and beard and salt and pepper hair that has drastically receded that keeps staring out of my mirror at me!
White Raven:
White Raven: There are many references for this from popular culture, but I'm going to instead employ my usual lame-brained humor and say it's what was left after someone scared the regular raven half to death.
Carpathia:
Carpathia: A transatlantic passenger steamboat that risked dangerous ice fields to pick up survivors of the Titanic.
Risk:
Risk: Depends on experience. A novice thinks little of free climbing down into a deep ravine on barely supportable rocky protrusions, falling and dying never occurring to him or her. (This is a true story, and the person was me!) Someone with experience views risk with trepidation, having fallen and not wanting to repeat the experience, so they remain on the couch watching action flicks, getting their risk thrills vicariously. (This is me some thirty years later!)
trepidation:
Trepidation: A four syllable word that could be replaced, if we were machines, by the one syllable word, “fear”, and, come to think of it, if we were machines and didn’t have to talk to humans, we wouldn’t even need the word “fear”. But thankfully we don’t have to think about it.
Artificial intelligence:
Artificial intelligence: A disease that affects politicians and for which there is no cure...
Disease:
Disease: A slang way of referring to sleep, i.e. "I was catching da Z's."

Mistake:
Miss Take won several beauty pageants in the greater Beaumont area before marrying a promising young attorney, who later became Governor of Kansas, embarrassing his lady wife only the usual number of times on the way by getting caught with his pecker in the pickle jar.
Intern:
Intern1: We once put messages on pigeon's legs... that was outlawed in the year 2021. A more effective and less revealing method was devised in 2018 and proved, even back then, to maximize the covert bird messaging system utilized by the Harangen Hegemony (in dimension 8 of the Tyvlid Sorcerer's realm) brought into manifestation to the Tellurian world "Earth" due to the discovery of the ZEN quark (similar to the charmed quark but more elusive due to its spin in classical multi-phased dimensions - first demonstrated at Cornell University in 2016... leading to the first sustainable wormhole in 2017). One need merely insert 1015.7 pico-pico dots into a nano construct which allows the tern to be programmed after feeding. The nano construct serves two processes: first - install the tern's programming; second - to circumvent the tern's digestive system.
Intern2: One who installs nano constructs into a tern's feed. Some interns grossly refer to this as "buggering" the tern's food: an inaccurate and vulgar anachronism, even by present day 2037 standards.
Wormhole:
Wormhole: A technique worms use to get from one part of the universe to another.
Worm:
Worm: What's left after eating the apple.
Tailor, you villain, I'll never be able to look at young, shapely students on Capitol Hill the same way again.

3. Erroneously determined to be a planet deGrassed, or Tysoned
brain:
brain: What I fear our Canadian friends may be about to discover their new PM hasn't got. Don't know much about him, other than his last name and the fact that he's really good-looking. Unless I'm much mistaken, tomorrow morning there'll be an underwear model running Canada. Here's the bigger question: Will anyone notice. (As an American, jokes at Canada's expense are a birthright.)
Hoser:
Hoser: A pervert who breaks into women's rooms and steals their pantyhose... 2) If you happen to be Canadian, this is the brainless, drunken lout the bouncer just tossed into the alley!
Pervert:

Snarky:
Snarky: The quality of being crotchety or snappish. NB: I really tried to be clever and witty with this one, not wanting to let you folks down. I know how you rely on me to lighten your load with boundless mirth. Alas, I came up empty this time. Don't take it too hard, there's always next time, when I'm bound to come up with a waggery wot'll have 'em doing the Foxtrot up one side of the boulevard and down the other.
Scuppered:
