foreignsics
Da scientific study of determining whether someone claiming to have been "boowuhn heayuh" was actually "from awuh-hay".
Classic Maine "native vs. transplant" humor: "Old Man Buchanan 'way down in Buhrch Hahbah passed away at da ripe old age of 97 still claimin' to be a nauy-tihve, seein' as how he grew up around thayuh and nevuh moved anywhayuh else. Well, we performed foreignsics into his past and were absolutely SHAWHKED to discovuh dat he was actually a full SIX MONTHS OLD 'fore he EVUH set foot in da state o' Maine!"

cryropractor
A body-parts-manipulation doctor who helps cure his patents of assorted distressed-to-tears-level aches and pains.
Da term "cryropractor" could also sarcastically refer to a limbs-wrenching specialist who causes you such excruciating agonies during da course of his "therapy" dat you bawlingly-'n'-blubberingly wish dat you'd never set foot in his office in da first place!

shyness-soothing snuggle
Refers to da off-da-scale-satisfying practice of deeply-but-softly clasping an initially-bashful fellow human in yer arms and just motionlessly holding him close and mutually engaging in long slow breathing until he eventually stops trembling and relaxes against you, whereupon you both rack back to arm's length and smile happily/dreamily at each other.
Employing da shyness-soothing snuggle is a great way for grandparents or aunts/uncles to gain da confidence of uncertain little ones; just remember dat every person has different ideas, preferences, and comfort-levels regarding physical closeness, personal boundaries, etc.

multiple-double-handshake-clasp twirl
Refers to an uproarious and highly-satisfying way to either say hello, bid goodbye, or just be warmly soh-shuh-buhl to several fellow humans who are standing side-by side. What ya do is start at one end of da line and handshake-clasp (i.e., right-hand fully fitted into right hand or vise-versa, as opposed to da right-holding-left "walking hand-in-hand" or finger-interlacings clasps) da first person's "outside" hand (i.e., if you start on da left side of da line, you'd take da end-person's right hand in yers, and if you start on da right end, ya would reach out wif yer left hand and grasp da end-person's left hand), then swivel yerself around to stand wif yer back to da person, reach yer other hand back to handshake-clasp his "inside" hand, release his "outside"hand and spin around another half-turn so dat yer facing da group again, handshake-clasp da next person's hand wif yer free hand, let go of da first person's hand and flip around a half-turn, take da second person's other hand, let go of his "original" hand and swing back around to face both him and da next person, take da next person's "nearer" hand, and so on.
Engaging in a chuckling/giggling round of multiple-double-handshake-clasp twirling can indeed be a total blast, just make sure to first ask if any of da participants has sore/stiff wrists, since a good bit of joints-flexing is involved in said loopy companionship-savoring activities.

donkashane
In da Walkabout Creek area, there are two super-comforting policies:
(1) If you have a mental or emotional problem, you don't need a"shrink" --- you just tell it to da approachable Wally, and he discreetly words said revelation in a positive and non-judgemental way when he tells everyone else in town about it; once everyone knows dat you possess said infirmity/challenge, they both treat you accordingly (i.e., they use tolerance and diplomacy whenever anything pertaining to your "problem"comes up) and give you ideas on how to lessen and/or resolve said issues.
(2) If you have bad guys after you, you tell DONK --- unlike da cautiously-unassuming Wally, HE has no need to "tell everyone in town" 'cuz he's so big and strong dat he can both "take care of himself" AND "take care" of said "enemy of Mick" figures wif just a quick swipe of his massive arm. Donkashane, Buddy! :P

eeriegation
Da act of either washing away past spookiness, or using frightening experiences to "rinse out" undesirable individuals from your house ---i.e., send them fleeing out your door in terror.
Some priests try to provide eeriegation --- i.e., using holy water to bless an area and thus hopefully drive away evil presences --- but there have definitely been mixed results of said spiritual cleansings... sometimes da formerly-haunted people have indeed reported more peaceful futures, but other times said relief may either be only temporary or not happen at all; in a number of cases, in fact, da paranormal activities have even become worse after said exorcism.
