Willy: "Hey Jack! I noticed your new hairstyle, where'd you get that fresh mop?"
Jack: "Just look for that bieber pole at 5th and Main, Willy."

curare

Anthropological context:
A tribe's poison, brewed by its curandero, which is used on the tips of projectiles for hunting game and fighting enemy tribes. A curandero considers his recipes to be trade secrets, and usually performs his craft alone or with an apprentice who has demonstrated to be truly interested in and a keeper of the trade. If an outsider comes inquiring about how to brew such useful stuff, the curandero often makes a big show of incantations or magical procedures, using smoke-and-mirrors to mislead the outsider. Different types of uses call for different brews. A curare for hunting game usually sedates the animal to feel no pain, and then metabolizes to be safe to eat within five minutes of death. A curare for warding off enemy tribes might cause great sickness, or a slow, agonizing death to hostile villains. Curanderos are often mistaken to also brew Ayahuasca, or Yage. These shaman are more appropriately called ayahuasqueros, and their trade is more related to healing and visionary experience than to the rote purposes of curare.

Curare in poisoned darts or arrows for hunting or other purposes.

negastache

The absence of a mustache in the male facial aesthetic.

A beardstyle whereupon the male facial hair growth on the upper lip is removed by mechanical or chemical means on a regular basis. Motivations to maintain this particular style are generally political or religious in nature, including, but not limited to: a protest of militarism, cultural identity/religious traditions, for the sake of being kissable, to ease the effort of taking bites of foods, a rejection of hipsterism, and for overall tidiness in one's aesthetic.

Jim: What's with you Amish guys that have beards but no mustache? What's that called?
Malachi: That's a "negastache", James. We do it because cops always had mustaches and they used to beat us up before we came to America seeking religious freedom.
