Been reading the thumbing through the thesaurus, digesting the dictionary, 
have you Leon? 

I admit I had to look some of these up...

elide: Phonetics. suppress or omit in pronunciation. ????

quotidian: Recurring daily. Used especially of attacks of *malaria*.

parsiflage: ???
Did you mean persiflage? : *Frivolous* or bantering talk

abnegating: deny oneself (something); restrain, especially from indulging in 
some *pleasure*;

scatologous: ??? even google has never heard of this one, but I can guess what 
you meant :)

disquisition: a *long* and detailed explanation of a particular subject

So if I can paraphrase:

"Seriously, if I can suppress the daily frivolous talk, denying the pleasures 
of resorting to crap in a long and detailed way, so can you!"

(now waits for someone to pick apart my post too)
