    Convex: The opposite of concave, referring to a curve out or a curve in. Likely baseball terminology. Ex: Coach "Lefty, get warming up. That loser on the mound has such a convex curve he's going to walk us to a loss!"

    Manifest Destiny:
    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...

    Igloo: A hobbit house in the snow

    Polar Bear

    Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there, wondering, fearing, doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before. ~ Edgar Allan Poe

    Brontosaurus: A four-legged, vegan dinosaur with a long tail that devolved into the modern dog. If that sounds like unfair karma, recall what happened to its “I’ll-eat-anything” cousin, the tyrannosaurus, who had only two legs and devolved into the chicken.

    Edible: Let's make this clear: Edible doesn't mean "good to eat". It means you won't do a faceplant on your plate because you ate it. Similar to this is the food word "choice." Choice also doesn't mean good to eat. It means if you feed it to an unsuspecting friend they won't chase you through the house with a steak knife. At least according to Outdoor Humorist Patrick K McManus

    Taste:
    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...

    Or its ancestral second cousin, the Dimetrodon, which evolved into you and me!

    Taste: the reason cannibals prefer those with degrees in literary criticism.

    Dimetrodon does explain the weight range of some of my relatives.

    Antiquated: A version of reality that was obviously true not too long ago.
