vPlease. American expressions in a book I am reading.?

Question

I am reading a book witch is playfull language-wise … I know it may be kind of difficult to understand even for english speakers but I am curious and am asking for a little help:


These can be difficult even for a native speaker because the author is very playfull.

Behind the courtain a standing couple is makingf love, the person looking at their feet says: I took note of orange boots, of the tiny chockie kick-offs in varios placements. (what is chokie kick-offs?)

His encouragement from so “far in”, took note of our work´s problems (Does from so far in means very honest?)

Her hair pulled back toward spinster bun-dom fell short. (bun-dom?)

Answer 1

Chockie kick off's are wedge shoes that are slip ons; she could easily kick them off.

So far in makes me think that it the person is very involved in the situation.

A spinster bun is a very tight bun (typical librarian appearance). Bun-dom is just a play on the words. It still just means a tight bun.
