Bilk- to cheat someone out of something (usually money)
Ex: I can’t believe I let that leprechaun down by the pub bilk me out of $20 by claiming he could lead me to a pot of gold. He did bring me to a rainbow, but it turned out to be a huge rainbow pride flag strung up on the side of “The Sly Fox Bar”. The leprechaun just looked at me and said, “well, here we are as promised. Now I’m going to take this crisp Jackson and find myself some poppers. Let’s get loose tonighttttt!”
Ascetic- tending to not give into one’s desires, sometimes for religious or spiritual reasons
Ex: Katharina longed to break free from the ascetic lifestyle of her Amish community in rural Pennsylvania. One day a Camaro blazed down the road near her village bumping Trap Queen by Fetty Wap and the hissing snare drum did something entirely blasphemous to her ears. She had only ever heard pipe flute renditions of early American Puritan hymns, so when she heard the words “I just left the mall I’m getting fly with my baby, yaaaaaa” she became wholly aware that there was more to life than just churning butter and building houses at breakneck speeds. *cut to Katharina in a LIDS store at the local mall, getting fitted for a custom Remy Boys 59/50 snapback* “Oooohhhh, just wait til I pull up on Jeremiah in this fit. He gone be like ‘where yo bonnet at?’ And I’m gon be like I don’t rock bonnets no mo and that’s on gang, 1738! Now holla at yo girl when you’re done toiling in the fields, I’ll be in the milk barn gettin sturdy to 679.” Later that night the community elders gathered for an emergency meeting in the back room of the church. They decided that Katharina had been possessed by some dark spirit, and was now a witch living amongst them. Their only course of action would be to crush her under a 2-ton obelisk in the town square tomorrow at high noon.
