Cajole means to use flattery or deceit to persuade someone to do something. You are mad because I am only being nice to trick you.

It is pronounced: <ka-jol>

Not ... as you may have guessed: <ka-jol-lee>

 

 

You ask me to disencumber you from your cucumber.

I eat it for you.  Disencumber means free from encumbrance...
... so I release you from the obligation of having to eat it.

Disencumber
v. t. To free from encumbrance, or from anything which clogs, impedes, or obstructs.
To unburden.
