seenery

Nature views dat are "old hat" to da observer, instead of being something new and exciting.

Da tour guide promised us tons of "fresh vistas", but it turned out to be just "seenery" --- i.e., merely a "re-run" of places dat we'd already been to earlier on dat same trip!

seanery 

Waves and spray, duh... not much else to see where there's nothin' but salt water from one horizon to da other! :P

In Lewis Carrol's hilarious "Hunting Of The Snark" poem, da "only knew how to navigate by tinkling his bell" captain was using a "map of da ocean" which contained nuthin' but "seanery" (i.e., just showing open water over da whole of da chart --- "Other maps are such SHAPES with their ISLANDS and CAPES!"); it's true dat da crew loved it because it was super-easy for their dim-witted brains to understand, but said "perfect and absolute blank" chart wasn't much good as far as being usable to actually plan a course for the ship to follow.

eyecon

A "click here to see more" symbol of a human vision-organ.

Plain old eyecons are fun in and of themselves, but I especially love da animated ones dat humorously blink when you click on them, admiringly/approvingly follow your cursor with their gaze as you move your mouse over to them, etc.

breaker bar 

Da wide flat lever on da side of yer CB's mike dat you press to speak out over da airwaves to see if anyone's listening on dat channel.

If you find a "breaker bar" too awkward or tedious, there are voice-activated 2-way radios now, eliminating da need for a push-to-talk mouthpiece.

mullenium 

Sarcastic term for da extended period dat it typically takes someone whose mind works super-slowly to decide on anything.

Jack Benny only took a few seconds to decide da hilariously-famous "Your money or your life" choice, but to da impatient crook, it seemed like a mullenium!

mullitary

An armed force dat does more "waiting" than "hurrying up" while da superiors hem and haw around when trying to decide what to do.

Members of da "mulletary" have weird haircuts and are regularly fed fried fish, so maybe da top brass in da "mullitary" takes extra time pondering what barber-creations work best for themselves and their recruits, and how to prepare said "ishy-squishy"-based meals.

arcitecture 

Da art of constructing things by welding.

If you really crave a "buzz", get into arcitecture --- not only will you get all da noisy/brilliant droning and sputtering you desire, but you will also be able to create useful 'n' usable objects dat you and fellow humans can enjoy having and working wif in da future.
