Dr. Heywood R. Floyd's definitions

Humpty Dumpty

a person who re-defines words to suit himself, rather than using words the way the dictionary defines them.

From Lewis Carroll's "Through the Looking Glass":

`When I use a word,' Humpty Dumpty said, in rather a scornful tone, `it means just what I choose it to mean -- neither more nor less.'

`The question is,' said Alice, `whether you can make words mean so many different things.'

`The question is,' said Humpty Dumpty, `which is to be master -- that's all.'
Person 1: I'm hungry.

Person 2: You don't know the meaning of "hungry" till you've been starving like the hordes in the third world.

Person 3: Bullshit! Look it up in the dictionary, Humpty Dumpty!

stankbones

the part of one that tingles when one is getting near one's prey. (possibly the hindquarters, thus the stink-related name - stankbones).

Popularized by Cletus, the slack-jawed redneck on "The Simpsons."
Cletus: We're a-gettin close now! I can feel it in my stankbones!
