Well, I know edamame and soju, pescatarian must be one of those annoying religious cults but don't have a clue about the others :-)

edamame: pronounced unabbreviated and without the cajun tinting-"he the mammy"...polite for "he the mama"...an expression told to children of stay at home dads.

pescatarian...my friend from Peru always said pesca instead of fish for some reason so this is probably a fisherman..

soju:...pronounced Sewed Jew..a southern expression used as a question "so, did you?" or as a statement "So did you." He went to Princeton, soju. So ya'll least have that in common"

infinity pool...Unlike the other two wherein I was able to express from my own expertise and knowledge, I'd have to guess at this one. This would be the pool big enough to hold all those fish the fisherman tales tell of"

mondegreen...ahhh, one I know well and cried out myself with great relief several times after much effort when I was first learning...a golf expression, used to define the position/location of the ball after a hit if it lands "on the green"...(that bright green area near "the hole" and the flag that marks the aim of the golfer)
