Yeah ... _guess_es are that should be pretty easy: obscure
3rd-party software, `macroexpand', a quoted piece of Lisp (a
note to the OP, a `quote' turns Lisp software into data,
however now the macro ... err, whatever).

Study this example instead.

What do you see happening in the below code?

(abbrev-mode           -1)
(auto-encryption-mode  -1)
(file-name-shadow-mode -1)
(gpm-mouse-mode        -1)
(menu-bar-mode         -1)
(tooltip-mode          -1)

(font-lock-mode)
(transient-mark-mode)
