Mine...

1. I will not so much as give a Riposte because it's not worth my time.


2. Sometimes, I laugh like a sot, but hey, I love it that way!

'Riposte' does not exactly seem apposite for the sentence. 'Antiphon/Vibes' would have been better.

2. Do you really cachinnate just like an old drunk? That would be pejorative.
'Sot' here would mean 'a customary chain drunkard'. Right?

I'm not a 'her'. I'm not bi!

'floccinaucinihilipilification' here should mean 'worthless'.
I read about it somewhere here. It's just a frippery of unnecessary combination.
Howdy?

I meant Google, not you.
Lol.
Yeah.

@Megawax8 Floccinaucinihilipification means being in the habit of deeming stuff as worthless.

Here is mine (though a bit outside the stated ambits but hey, stretch your limits):

1. My entrails are practically writhing in appeasing fractures.
(State in it's most un-ornate form.)

2. 56 rainy seasons ago, Azikiwe became free from the freedom barrack at the Whites when he took a repose he never returned from.
State in it's simplest form and if necessarily possible, correct whatever anomaly the sentence might breed.

1. Entrails would mean your insides....
2. Writhing would mean reeling in pain...
3. Fractures would mean a breakage or dislocation
4. Appeasing would mean to pacify or make up to.

Are you trying to say you enjoy the pain

Second

56 years ago, Azikiwe returned from exile or went into exile.
Right?

Yes. In the expression, though.
Normally, it means 'Rest'.

1. 'Fractures' here means 'screams'.

2. 'Writhing' does not necessarily stand for reeling in pain. You have to fathom a word's connection to an expression first, ma, not the word itself.

Checked the word afterwards, here:

As used in the context,

***Freedom from activity (work or strain or responsibility).

Synonyms: Ease, Relaxation, Rest.
