Looks like that horse racing use was also interestingly closer to the original use of the word. Fun that it was a thieves' cant as well.

What is tavel time? it's really hard to Google it and "tavel" alone seems to be a wine. It's either something specific to horse racing or a typo, but I'm really curious. either way.

John Green had a quote about this that he was saying even before his brother had cancer.

"Don't just do something, stand there."

This is like that "red touches yellow rhyme" that is completely useless if you aren't living in whatever specific region the rule originated from.

Marker plastics sounds like some plastic related jargon but it's just hard plastic possibly from a permanent marker (like a sharpie) that some consumers found and reported.

I think the one that stands out as least accurate is the double-disgust being "prejudice." It's not that's it's really wrong it's just that all the other doubled ones are just amplified and I'm not sure that prejudice is really a "disgust but amplified", personally.
