'I defy you', 'Damson', and 'Kiss-off' (3 Words of the Day)
I defy you to do something means 'I tell you to do something that I think will be impossible.' For example, you can defy someone to prove their accusations or anyone not to cry at the end of the film.
Damson is a subspecies of the plum tree. The fruit has an oval shape, a deeply furrowed stone, and is both high in sugars and highly astringent. Damsons were supposedly introduced into England from Syria by the Romans. Unlike plums, you cannot dry damsons into prunes. However, you can make marvellous jams or fruit preserves from them.
Kiss-off (NAmE, informal/slang) means 'a rude or abrupt dismissal or rejection'. Typically, one gets a kiss-off from your job or your lover. I hope you don't.
I cannot use italics here, as I could in the original: https://t.me/english_grail/123. Before correcting the text, please check the post.

Are you sure that my text can't be improved in any way? It may be grammatically correct, but I doubt it sounds natural everywhere. At least, this was the case with the other texts I posted on the platform.

It reads natural to me as a native English speaker. I think you did fine, the goal is to be understood. Rather than getting everything grammatically correct. (^^;)
