Tired: What you are after another night of whatever you do to amuse yourself. For example, my eyes are still tired from reading up to four books a day and writing reviews.

Tired: What you are after another night of whatever you do to amuse yourself. For example, my eyes are still tired from reading up to four books a day and writing reviews.
Amuse:
Amuse: Wasting time in a pleasant manner.
Sick and Tired (sometimes pronounced "sick and tarred". I've even heard "sick and turd".)
Sick and tarred...of living in a world full of wankers.
Drawl:
Drawl: Adopting an accent like John Wayne's. This was most out of place in The Greatest Story Ever Told. Wayne is the Centurion at the cross of Christ and famously drawls "Truly this man was the son of Gawd!"
Out of place:
Out of Place: What the stuff cluttering my desk looks like at the moment.
Human Tipping:
Human Tipping: What cows will do when they evolve and rule the world. This is likely if the cattle industry keeps feeding them cyber feed cooked up in a lab. Of course, if we keep eating said cow meat, we are likely to devolve into cows. Works out.
Planet of the Apes. Or cows, take your pick.

Planet of the Apes. Or cows, take your pick.
Planet of the Apes: Strictly speaking, Earth
Cows: Two lookers, two hookers, four stand uppers, four dangle-downers, and a swishy-wishy!
Horseradish:
Horseradish: What horses and radish will evolve into after years of transgenic experiments by geneticists trying to breed a super soldier. These fearsome half-horse, half-radish creatures will gallop across the plain, striking bad breath into the hearts, and noses, of the enemy. Also the kids can ride them at the petting zoo for four bucks and feed them...what do you feed a horse that's half vegetable?
Fearsome:
Fearsome: Like handsome except for the fear component.
Cyber:
Cyber: Like food, except made out of high-tech chemicals.
Organic:
Organic: Defined by having once been alive. Organic gardening involves feeding plants the remains of other plants and animal material. Might also be described as having the properties of a organ. Some loon on a fence howling like a Hammond at full volume springs to mind
Alive:
Alive: The state of being no different from Frankenstein’s monster. For example, “It’s alive!”
Organic Gardening:
Organic Gardening: Something which in principle I agree with, but there are problems with it. <clears throat, prepares for dissertation> One, not all chemicals used to protect plants from bugs and parasites are necessarily bad; same with genetic modification. Each one has to be taken on a case by case basis, and examined objectively using credible science, free from political agendas. Second, the selection of organic veggies at my local supermarket is paltry, and the veggies often look like Steve Rogers before he was subjected to vita-radiation and got all buff and Captain America-like. Thirdly, hippies, hippies, HIPPIES! God, I hate hippies, and as soon as you whisper "Organic...", it's like a magic spell that draws hippies like flies. Which they have enough of hovering around them 'cause they object to bathing or washing their hemp clothing in detergent. Or at all.
Olive Garden:
I have a theory that something can only smell so bad. After a certain point the human brain shuts down the stimulus. The only time that theory has been challenged is when my dog insisted on chasing that skunk.Quote:

Hippie:
Hippie: A Bostonian delicacy, created by a surgeon thinking of creative ways to recycle medical waste.
Medical waste:
Medical waste: What's left over after a person receives nationalized health care.
May I also say that the previous two definitions, North Star and YesNo, were exceptional. I wiggle my toes at you in appreciation.
Galaxy S7, being the new premiere phone from Samsung to be announced in days, and which I can't wait to get my greedy little paws on--although, in fairness, my existing phone is dying. But I'm still greedy.
Galaxy S7: Home galaxy of the Technocrats, beings which exist only for technology. They are very human looking except they have as much new tech as they can carry and are often texting on a phone that could take the place of their computer, while listening to music via the most recent i-pod thingy (which they verbally command to play a preset playlist) and scrolling the internet on the latest mega-tri-gig tablet, which also responds to voice control. They worship at the altar of X-box and Wii.
Non-tech-savvy:
Non-tech-savvy: The great gray army, that being the shuffling mass of old people who now cover America like a blanket. They shuffle towards you with their phones held out intoning "Help me..." in a rasping mummy-like voice. Don't help them, I say. Let them stagger about until the batteries in their pacemakers run out. Of course, I will soon be one of them, in the sense the VR technology and lots of other new gear is coming and I doubt the kids will be inclined to assist me with learning it.
Oculus:
Oculus: A symbol depicting an eye, such as the Egyptian Eye of Ra or The All Seeing Eye on the back of an American Dollar, said to be related to Freemasons, which is likely, since most of the founding fathers were Masons.
Oculus Malus:
Oculus Malus: The Evil Eye, said to confer warts, bad luck or uncontrollable flatulence upon the victim. I may have made that last one up.
Phallus Cranium:
Phallus Cranium: One of the reasons why pig Latin is no longer taught in schools.
Flatulence:
Flatulence: What flatlanders bring to the hill/mountain folk.
Flatlander:
Flatlander: Not nearly as cool as Highlander. He has a sword and lives forever.
Decapitate:
Decapitate: To correct another's manners by removing his hat for him.
Sweetheart
Sweetheart: Term of endearment used when one's spouse is really angry, thus: "Did you take out the trash, Sweetheart?!!"
Spouse:
Spouse: Something I've managed to avoid this long, and will probably avoid from here on out.
Scratching post:
Scratching post: 1) When one has cats it is your furniture and anything else found appropriate by said cats; also true for bears.
Nature:
Nature: that ineluctable force which every spring, makes us start looking for a scratching post.
Chew toy:
Pork rinds, if one is happy. One's nearest and dearest, when things aren't going well.
Dearest.
Dearest: Sometimes prefaced with the appellation Mommie, in which case it refers to one o' them psycho mothers who butchers her children with a steak knife in the name of love. In former British commonwealth countries, dearest can also mean most expensive. Also, when a man has behaved seriously badly or wants the forbidden kind of sex, he is wont to refer to his better half as "My dearest..."
Capacious:
Capacious: Suddenly compelled to do something for reasons you cannot explain. Probably the reason for the expression "Seemed like a good idea at the time."
Seriously:
Seriously, Pendragon, that's the strangest definition of capacious I ever did hear.
Commodious:
Commodious: Roomy enough to even contain mistakes made when spell-check alters a word into another, which is what happened above.
Foreboding:
Foreboding: A pervasive sense of imminent doom, as when a feminist opens her mouth and you know a tirade of scolding, rebuke and moral instruction is about to be hurled at you like a jet of flame from a dragon's jaw--at which point the dragon seems preferable. At least it's over quickly.
Termagant:
Termagant: A person who reminds you that if Hillary Clinton is not elected president this time around you will never hear the end of it.
Dragon:
Dragon: Lovable old Uncle Pen in the other dimension! Remember all the old King of the Hill battles we used to have, when the Dragon regularly burned the hill down?

Feather-Brain:
Feather Brain: A stupid person. I am tempted at this juncture to launch into a series or sarcastic but pithy remarks about this year's melange of scintillating presidential candidates, but I shall refrain in the interests of keeping the peace. Mind you, YesNo, your definition of termagant gets my vote. <gives two thumbs up>
Melange:
Mélange: A mixture or melody, a good example being the current mélange of incompetent Presidential hopefuls that make anarchy sound good right now.
Anarchy:
Anarchy: Preferable to that toupee'd 'tard Trump, that fossilized fallopian Hillary, or that geriatric Trotskyite Sanders. Also popular in Europe 'round the turn of the 20th century, creating many employment opportunities for bomb makers.
