New Word of the Day

The New Word of the Day: 4/1/12

Gullible (gul e-bel)

Definition: Easily deceived or duped

The gullible detailer needs to keep their eye out for today, to make sure someone does not lead them into a prank or joke that misleads them some way.

Today on April 1...

Circumscribe: to trace a line around; encircle; encompass; to set or mark off the limits of; limit; confine to restrict the action of.

*Many vehicle owners will circumscribe the proposed options of the detailer by settling on non-corrective measures in servicing their finish.

*The end product new hobbiest will be circumscribed by his lack of knowledge and or tools.

*Many detailing products are grouped into 'packages' which rely on a step by step ordered process. The variation of product, tool, or ordered process can circumscribe the desired results.

For 04.02.2012:

Barnumize

Definition:
1. To promote with bombast, exaggeration, hype or sensationalize.  
2. To spread inaccurate or false information.

"Although there are just so many chemicals that can be put in a bottle", some products lay claim to performance levels that tend to lean in the direction of barnumization, IMO.

Grouse (grous)

Definition: to grumble; complain

Source: Thesaurus.com

The detailer groused when looking over his next week's schedule and saw that he was going to have a very busy week. He was looking at the small picture as he was forgetting it was a much better scenario to be too busy vs not having any work at all.

Today on April 2...

"Who Let the Dogs Out" ~The Baha Men

I become irked when my one neighbor grumbles and grouse.
Especially when I'm busy detailing my vehicles at my house.
I'm so tired of tellin' him: "I care how my vehicles look".
Evil thoughts, or cursing him with: every name-in-the-book,
Falls to the wayside, as my attack-dogs "quiets-down" the louse.






:D

On this date, April 3rd, 1924, one of my favorite actors was born. His opulent amount of film credits, and subsequent stardom, allowed him to also live a life of opulence.

Hint:
Later in life, when he was bidding on an island, he was overheard to say: "I'll make them an offer they can't refuse"!!

Atonement (ih-tohn-muhnt)

Definition: compensation

The atonement the new detailer received from his first customer was more then just monetary, the satisfaction he saw he provided and the daunting work he accomplished on the dilapidated paint gave and built confidence inside him to be able to move on to the next customer with his head up a little higher.

Today on April 4...

1916 US Senate agrees (82-6) to participate in WW I

When purchases of Detail Supplies demands atonement (reconciliation?);
I beseech of Her, again, the reasons of unnecessary (to me) expiation.
My explanations of products' confluence, to Her, is just an adjunct,
All cunning, and wiles to influence Her now seems kaput: Defunct.
Once again, I suppose, a Judge may determine my degree of reparation.
