Ok, ok, Pendragon, I didnīt look this one up. I know you thrive on my mistakes.
Chiasmus:1- Married to Lady Chiasma. 2-A rhetorical device resulting of inverted parallelism in a sentence. Example: "Men should work to live and not live to work."
Parallelism:
"I seemed to have sensed also from an early age that some of my experiences as a reader would change me more as a person than would many an event in the world where I sat and read. "
Gerald Murnane, Tamarisk Row
Parallelism: The ability to walk between railroad track rails and never notice a train.
Train:
tailor
who am I but a stitch in time
what if I were to bare my soul
would you see me origami
7-8-2015
Train: 1) Possibly the worst band in history and one whose ubiquitous hit song tragically never stops being played, 2) a conveyance of which Agatha Christie made legendary use, and 3) something the luxury version of which I hope to take through the Canadian Rockies one day--preferably accompanied by a girl of such staggering apportionment as to require the door to our cabin to be specially widened ere we depart.
Blissful:
Obsessed with facial symmetry.
Danik--I love to kid people, don't mind me. I screw up worse than most myself!
Blissful: Full of good cheer and possibly good wine
Obsequious:
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...
Obsequious: obviously sequencing vowels incorrectly in a groveling manner
Groveling:

Cute emoji!Itīs all right, Pen!
Obsequious: 1-someone sequious of obs; 2-Bootlicker or apple-polisher

Concomitant, Taylor!
Groveling: 1-Being obsequious. 2-Sounds of a bad humoured animal

Digit:

Digit: A now uncommon but once ubiquitous expression of enthusiasm for a thing, or an urging to check said thing out, I still use this phrase all the time. Viz: "I dig it," or "Now dig this." "Now can you dig it," too, is my way of soliciting your attention as I cue up a piece of music which, while supremely groovy, the young'ns wouldn't dig any more than my vernacular.
Thumbnail: a misleading still photo, usually of a woman's breasts, used to trick the unsuspecting (not me, of course) into clicking on a YouTube video, thus generating views (i.e., ad revenue) for the YouTuber in question. Invariably the video turns out to be about growing yams, and in addition to disappointment you feel like a total schmuck. Such inviting still photos used in this manner are known as 'click bait.' Again, I'm just going by what I've heard.
Disingenuous:
Obsessed with facial symmetry.
Disingenuous: Speech that one thinks is funny but is without candor or wit of any kind. 2) To speak bad of the ingenuous
Pantechnicon:
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...
Pantechnicon: The Pantechnicons were of the order of Hephaestus who left the earth anciently to colonize the stars with all of their belongings and peoples in generation ships; some of them have returned.
Progressive:

Progressive: 1) an auto insurance company whose spokeswoman is talented but, jeez louise, enough is enough, and 2) nickname for a political ideology. Note how adroitly I avoid any commentary on said ideology.
Pendragon, was that 'disingenuous' remark aimed at me?

Don't you like Dirk Gently, Danik? ;-)
Highjacking: What lowlifes and knuckle-draggers have long since done to our civilization.
Dirk Gently:
Obsessed with facial symmetry.
Sorry, T. C. Was sure I had answered it. Bit of a mix up at midnight!
Dirk Gently: Detective in Douglas Adams book. Didnīt have the honour of a personal introduction.
