grow balls

Command to someone (not necessarily male) to show a bit of backbone.

Nicole's re-landscaped the lawn with forty different awkward pieces of sculpture and you're worried because she's threatening you with all kinds of bullshit if you don't mow it for her. For heaven's sake, Jimmy, grow balls!

gooboil

Utterly revolting cooked meal. Typically consists of various objects floating in a bath of reeking, bubbling goo. Hence the name.

I'm not going to one of Maisie's gooboils again. The last time I did I yarked all over the driveway.

affluent

1. Wealthy.

2. Drunk, as in under the affluence of inkahol. (Meaning the influence of alcohol, as might be mispronounced when inebriated.) Also associated with the other meaning because either condition (ought to) make your troubles float away.

Give him five shots of whiskey and he's affluent.

serendipity

Something pleasant or useful found while looking for something else. Inspired by a Persian fairy story, "The Three Princes of Serendip".

I initially wanted to date Moira, but she turned out to be an awful bore and she snorted when she laughed, which I can't stand. She did however get me in touch with a car dealer who makes really cool custom cars, top quality and dirt cheap, three of which I bought within a year. That was a real piece of serendipity.

not quite Chippewa

Something that is not quite Chippewa is something unwanted in a particular, typically coercive, social setting. Something that is not politically correct and therefore stamped on by any means necessary, typically by someone who selflessly has taken it upon themselves to decide what's best for everyone else, and smiles as they do it. From a line spoken by Camp Chippewa director (Peter MacNicol) in the 1993 movie "Addams Family Values".

Why do I get the feeling there's something not quite right here? Something ... not quite Chippewa?
