plumb locomotive 

Just because someone has all of da "Thomas the Tank Engine" episodes on VHS/DVD and/or owns a large model-railroad layout doesn't mean dat he's actually "plumb locomotive".

anachuracy 

A less-than-true statement due to its having a significant "glitch in da timeline".
Da infamous "lady using a cell phone" silent b&w Chaplain film is a classic example of a supposed anachuracy; it has since been revealed --- by said lady herself, in fact --- dat da device in question was actually just a newly-invented two-way radio dat da movie's producer was having her try out.

A Tale of Two Vacuums 

A lesser-known Dickens novel about da pair of infamous "Hoovers" in American-government history who notoriously ended up causing more harm than good during their reigns.
Between da indolent Herbert's causing da Great Depression during his presidency, and da recklessly-prejudiced and hatred-filled J. Edgar's founding da FBI which killed da likes of da Kennedy brothers and Martin Luther King, da true-story-based book, "A Tale of Two Vacuums" is a wild and sordid narrative indeed!

udder nincompoop 

What da Duke of Rudling would have contemptuously called Hynes if he'd tried to milk cows instead of care for dogs.
If you never take ta time or effort to learn da special hand-movements necessary to "get da moo-juice from Bossy", you'll look like an udder nincompoop!

leading man 

What da hotheaded and full-of-himself animal-trainer character Hynes viewed himself as when contemptuously walking Lassie and da rest of da Duke of Rudling's prized pets on a leash. After da equally-temperish-but-fairer-and-more-sensible-minded upper-crust squire finally "sacked" said "utter nincompoop" lackey, I'm assuming dat he then didn't think of himself as quite such an entitled charming expert in furry four-legged-creature husbandry.
Much as he hated to admit it, da Duke saw how much better of a "leading man" dat Sam Carraclough would make than da incompetent bungling Cockney whom he'd previously employed to look after his animals.

Smith & Wedding 

Da brand of side-by-side or over-'n'-under device typically utilized at "mandatorily tying da knot due to voluntarily forming a bump" services.
To lessen da chance of having a Smith & Wedding in your vicinity, it's wise to use condoms till you actually get hitched.

An engine-component dat really aggravates you.
Whether ya spell it "pisston" or "pissedon", trying to get DAT part of your motor to operate properly during a rebuild can indeed make you so frustrated dat you actually pee your pants!
