A rocketship that puts out fires. Like a firetruck.
Probably the world’s greatest invention since lasers, definitely the awesomest thing that (unaccountably) has not been made yet.

Elon Musk: "I'm telling you man, soon as I'm done with SpaceX and Tesla it's on to rocketship firetrucks for me. Everything I've ever done will have been in vain if these don't become a thing!"
Donald Trump: "Vroom vroom, rocketship firetruck!!"

Our mother in her old age would often bombinate contentedly to herself as she pottered about her cottage
Michael quickly alienated himself from the other kids at his new school with his distinctive but disquieting tendency to bombinate aggressively in strangers' ears

(Pl. Fabellae)
A small accessory bone that is present in the knee joints of roughly 1/3 of individuals. Its exact function or purpose, if indeed it has one, is not known, although the fabella has been associated with a number of knee-related problems.
The bone is so called because, as its Latin-derived name might suggest, it resembles a little bean.

1.
Recent anatomic studies suggest that the prevalence of fabellae is highest in Asian and Australian populations, and lowest in North American ones
2.
Much as Michael revelled in people's deep-seated disgust for him and always went to lengths to make himself as filthy, grotesque, and loathsome for others as possible, his signature limp and twitchiness- when he wasn't massively exaggerating these things- stemmed mostly from a fabella in his right knee that interfered constantly with various nerves in his leg

RIP Michel Lotito- Forever to be remembered as "that French guy who ate metal things", and "that bloke who popularised allotriophagy".
Emerson had an inexplicable allotriophagous craving for rotten insect larvae.

{a-KOO-bra}
The quintessential Australian cowboy hat since at least the late 1800s.
More rugged and utilitarian in appearance than its American cousin the Stetson, its durability and all-weather use means make it particularly well-loved by Australian stockmen and farmers. Akubras (along with Mountcastles) are also worn by members of the Australian Defence Force.
Name believed to be derived from an Aboriginal word for head covering.

"Westralia- quite possibly the greatest of all Australian states! Certainly a damn sight better than Tasmania, and at least it's not Queensland!"

Westralian secessionist: "Secede, fellow Westralians! Recognition of the 1933 referendum's result! Off with the yoke of federal government oppression! No more being held to ransom by over-taxing dickheads in the East! Westralia for Westralians!"
Normal Westralian: "… Literally no one with a brain thinks an independent Westralia could be a good idea, you sound like a bloody Confederate flag-waving redneck from the US!"
