QuacksO's definitions
A magistrate who issues poetic licenses to citizens, and also decides issues/disputes related to said poetic practices.
Poetic justice will likely view your text-composing "liberties" a lot more favorably if you always thoroughly document your literary sources and clearly explain the logic/reasoning behind your unorthodox text-composing practices.

Get the poetic justicemug. Surly defiant disrespectful mannerisms dat sailors exhibit when voyaging through certain parallels of da globe.
In da hilarious Laurel and Hardy short "The Live Ghost", it is implied dat da sulky shanghaied deck-swabs behaved in an equally-grumpy manner at every port they stopped in, so apparently what they were exhibiting wasn't actual lattitude --- they were just teeth-grindingly resentful at having been hauled off against their will to work on da gruff captain's "ghost ship", not affected by how chilly or tropical da weather happened to be at any particular time.

Get the lattitudemug. A "beforehand" safety-measure which involves following the "modern-day Golden Rule" (i.e., "Do unto others before they do unto you") of completely pounding everyone else around you into a shapeless pulp, so that these other humans can't "get you" first.
I asked the local constable why he carries a "cosh" (nightstick), and he said it was "as a precoshionary measure". Let's hope he does indeed only use it in a true emergency, eh???

Get the Jaggernautmug. Humorous term for someone's suddenly acquiring such a vast quantity of one or more desirable items that he feels like he's standing in the one single empty space in that child's "fifteen puzzle" sliding-tiles game, where you can only move one numbered block at a time... in other words, he's totally surrounded by enormous heaps of goodies, but he has absolutely zero “wiggle room” --- i.e., empty space in any direction --- to actually work with or process said newfound bounty. It'd be like if he’d meekly “asked around” to see if anyone had any scrap lumber, and then multitudes of people hastily converged on his property and generously heaped his entire yard so full of boards, beams, and plywood that he couldn't even walk out of his front door, or if a local home/business-owner who was “downsizing” had offered him an entire shed full of either huge bulging bags of returnables or pallets shrink-wrap-stacked to the ceiling with some of his favorite canned good or household items, but the building was so tightly crammed that there was only barely room to open the door a couple feet, thus preventing him from actually entering the shed and sorting through said windfall; in both cases he would be obliged to timidly "pick at the edges" of the mountain, tediously removing the items literally one-by-one.
Two classic examples of someone’s feeling “too rich to move” would be:
(1) if someone presented him with a huge 3-ring binder that was opened out flat, and the “presenter” had unthinkingly loaded BOTH “halves” of said binder with sheets “right up to the tops of the rings”, so that now the book’s unfortunate recipient could not actually turn any of the pages or even close the cover; he would therefore be obliged to procure another similar-sized binder and then carefully transfer half of the “overflowing” tome’s pages over into this second empty binder, so he could then peruse the work’s text a page at a time, or
(2) someone unfamiliar with how magnetic-tape players or film-projectors function had naively spliced two completely-filled reels of tape/film together, spindled the humongous spools onto a portable tape-deck or projector, and then proudly presented said “loaded-up ‘n’ ready” unit to another person, never realizing that said speechlessly-unnerved recipient would not be able to play said material "as-is", since there would literally be “nowhere for the strip of media to go” once it started rolling.

Get the too rich to movemug. I always save the page-links to fun/cheery/lovely background music and other tunes that I come across online, and then listen to some of them as a calming midicine during periods of stress or other sanity-draining emotion.

Get the midicinemug. Da group of holistic-living hippie-sailors who emigrated from England so dat they could create and/or consume their own choices of dietary-supplement tablets/capsules, not just da types dat their "Big Pharma" English overlords wanted them to take.
Da Pillgrims were a cohesive group of "Pureitans" who didn't wanna taint their "clean 'n' pristine" bodies with a lot of artificial/chemical crap dat King George's predecessors wanted to sell them.
