hoot time 

The times of day when you realize that it's too early or too late to call friends and/or family. "Hoot" is an acronym that stands for "hold off on telephone". "Hoot" also suggests times of the day when owls are active and hooting.

Adam: Do you think it's okay to call Barbara and Debbie for a hike up in the Catskills?
John: I dunno, Adam, I think it's hoot time for Debbie. She works a graveyard shift and usually hits the sack first thing when she gets home.

pundly 

Describes the legs of an obese person that are very heavy in the thigh but quickly taper down to average girth or even thinner, like an inverted wine bottle. Pronounced "poondly", with a short "oo" as in "book".

With those pundly legs of hers, I wonder how Violeta can support all her 450 pounds?

trumpoot 

A flabby-sounding, wrong, or sour, note played on a trumpet.

Johnny is just learning how to play brass instruments, so you can expect a trumpoot or two from him.

cheat shedding

A trick used by some unethical people in public places, such as buses, trains, or movie theaters in order to get a coveted seat: feigning any type of respiratory shedding (coughing, sneezing, clearing the throat) constantly in order to give another person the impression that the first person is ill. The other person's inclination would be to get up from the seat and look for another one elsewhere.

Hey Mike, I really want to get that seat by the window---I'll do some cheat shedding. Why should that doofus have a good seat and I can't?

Stink 101 

Any type of beginning chemistry class, from the not-always-so-pleasant smells that emanate from the laboratories of such classes.

I dropped a beaker of indole in Stink 101, and the whole lab stank for days on end!

netular 

Worthy of being represented on the Internet. Pronounced "NET-chuh-luhr".

Why doesn't that camera store have a web site? It's netular!
