reumbursement
Payment dat you give someone for just "hemmin' 'n' hawin' around" instead of actually moving forwards with a project, decision, etc.
Sign above da front clerk's desk in an office, store, or hotel:
"Answer desk:
Answers: $1.00
Answers that require thought: $2.00
Correct answers: $3.00
Dumb looks: Free --- clerk receives no "reumbursement", so we charge nothing from you in this case, either."

horrified hands-raising
Da shocked-and-wide-eyed, "Hey, I ain't touchin' that!" or, "Hey, I ain't goin' near that" gesture (hastily backing away optional, but extra points if you do that, also) dat you employ whenever anyone suggests/requests dat you dosomehting dat you view as hugely disgusting, dangerous, unwise, "out of your pay-grade", etc.
Da next time a viewed-as-wimpy individual performs a "horrified hands-raising" gesture at being asked to do some potentially-hazardous task, notice whether said "fingers towards da sky" person still has all ten of said useful digits --- if so , dat inherent hesitation-due-to-safety/wisdom-concerns may very likely be why, and you should consider whether da requested task might indeed be too perilous to perform without a serious rethink.

misothelioma
Good luck on telling da health-conscious grownups around da table dat you fear getting misothelioma if you are made to "eat yer vegetables".

shortcummins
Thanks to an unfortunate skid into a tree, Chad Maynard really banged up da driver's-side corner of his old red diesel-powered Dodge 2500 pickup, but he was still able to drive it afterwards and even haul super-heavy loads with it from his family's original "9252Life Off-Grid" backwoods-cabin to their newer fixer-upper family-sized dwelling --- absolutely no "shortcummins" in da truck's power department!

companionboat
Pleasant mutually-caring "come sit wif me" interaction between two or more individuals in a small watercraft.
In da classic Harold Lloyd silent film, "Girl Shy", Harold and Mary enjoyed sitting together in da rowing-skiff, so perhaps they shared lots of additional companionboat after they got married.

dogatonic
Da exact opposite of "catatonic" --- i.e., this word means to totally "go all eager-Fido" on his surroundings, enthusiastically racing about, gleefully verbalizing every thought and observation, and interacting with everyone and everything in his immediate area.
trimatic
How many children and even some grown-ups find da stir-crazy and claustrophobic experience of sitting in a barber's chair.
"Old-school raised" senior citizen with a strong "scissors only" preference, on his first-ever visit to a "spiraling-U.S.-flag-stripes" shop: Keep those beastly/buzzy electric clippers away from me --- I find getting my hair cut to be trimatic enough as it is, without also having my tender ears alarmingly assailed with all of dat bumblebee-droning racket --- and da constant fear of getting nicked or my hair being caught --- with one of those new-fandangled MOTORIZED contraptions!
