Orvilled and Dunsworth

To be Orved & Dunzed as the grandchildren would say but yet, still not know exactly why, constitutes this term ever the more humorous as an old money, high society knee-slapper of a joke. When used in its original full length format it can be soothing for the soul as comedic relief by these aristocratic snobs. This tells of their apathy in life, yet humorous notation of tragedy experienced by others same; who through some type of Wall Street disaster, had instantly lost all financial ability to maintain like social standing and living existence.

To be Orvilled and Dunsworthed is to meet financial Armageddon when 'rolled over' are all assets to pay an outstanding liability. To be Orvilled Nothing can dig out, these of the once affluent from said predicament. To be Dunsworthed …Except the grandchildren maybe? Orville Dunsworth is a dug from the grave character in the movie, “Children Shouldn’t Play with Dead Things!”
It's not nice to make fun of the Orvilled and Dunsworthed!

Baby Glommer-Stopper

Ummpa, ummpa; this is us, and this shamelessly referenced Willy Wonka Gobstopping ploy might just work in an effort to keep a child from being Baby-Sklarred for life! See Urban Dictionary definition for Baby Glommer.
A New Jersey and other States - post infant adoption term used to describe the psychological trauma endured by a two year old adoptee whose adopted status was court ordered to its disruption or overturning. To said child it is irrelevant as to who retains eventual fault. The general reason for this occurrence is primarily due to low standard of adoption attorney ethics. N.J. State adoption statute N.J.S.A. 9: 3-39 1 b, c allows this type of skandalous working platform.
In a wrongful adoption, a Baby Glommer-Stopper is a whopper of a hero!

Nuke This

This is fun with terminology. The term is used to get a point of apocalyptic emphasis across, scare grandma, and yet do away with the long winded saying, "Put my ham and cheese sandwich in the microwave oven." A simple "Nuke this!" will do. Guaranteed is that no one will misinterpret this abbreviated sentence and turn on the oven gas burner. Of course, grandma may feel the urge to bean her grandson over the head with a metal hot plate! It seems that many a World War II "Flame Thrower' veteran may have used a similar meaning word with "grandma" during the Cuban Missile Crisis in the sixties!
All I said was 'nuke this' grandma; you can put that frying pan back in the oven!

Simply Inretweetable

To miss your spouse, boyfriend, or children in the homesick physical way. A computer's phone cameras and communication sites are nice, but, the hand in hand love given of two is "Simply Inretweetable!"
Simply inretweetable are computer typed words of greeting, especially when compared to the perfumed, kissed love letter nuanced of your girlfriend's sweet smell.

Counting coup

To Count coup is considered an act of bravery by North American Native Indians.

The ultimate Counting coup scenario, as told by Chief Plenty Coup: To be in declared war with another tribe and by genius stealth or of an outright brazen act to reach his enemy, a warrior had avoided death by flying arrows from afar, spears chucked while in close, even while in the death zone of the intended coup victim's now attacking and slashing knife. This is when the said warrior now slaps his knife wielding enemy on the face and then manages to flee unharmed. The red faced victim of Counted coup is now the embarrassment of his tribe.

To the Anglo-Saxon world an act of Counting coup would be considered an act of glory seeking stupidity. As an example: It would be like getting in a boxing match with Mike Tyson after having just slapped him up-side the face in the pre-bout introductions. On the other hand, if Mike Tyson wanted to even-up on the Counting coup score card, he would toy with this opponent until the last round, and then bite the ear off the side of the opponent's head five seconds before the end of the fight!
Ladies and Gentleman this is the finest Counting coup strategy and deployment I have ever seen! There is simply no recourse!

Feather Plucker Syndrome

A phenomena of human anti-social behavior shown by crack cocaine addicts. Subconsciously, the addict purposely alienates their person from everyone else by the act of self-mutilation. While alone and under the influence, the person does this by looking into the mirror and picking at his/her face until bleeding occurs.

This type of behavior can be likened to the capture and traumatic displacing of a South American Scarlet Macaw. This is now an in country parrot that plucks its feathers out for seemingly no apparent reason at all.

However, stress and detachment, same as the need to be alone with their addicting drugs causes both the addict and bird a horrific disfigurement.
The doctor says to the crack-head, "Young lady, I'm going to suggest that you seek mental treatment; this is the worst case of Feather Plucker Syndrome I have ever seen!"

"There is only one thing worse in this world than a now reformed bible-toting whore: The fact that she used-to-be an opium addicted feather plucker as well!" Gravy111
