rumspringer 

An Amish "rite of passage" period whereby teenagers are permitted to indulge in certain "wild 'n' free" actions of "them English" --- such as "guzzling da Gordon's" and watching fake-fight scenes on TV --- in order to experience life outside of their communities and thus be better able to decide whether they want to continue with their insipidly-boring and oppressively-strict religion-steeped Amish ways, or live like da normal public does.
Somehow, da whole idea behind rumspringer seems like a very destructive and unwise idea... rather than Amish parents' allowing their children to totally "whoop it up big-time" --- and partake of unhealthy/dangerous activities dat could likely harm and/or negatively influence them permanently --- on just dat one glorious debauched-freedom-steeped period of their lives, why not instead merely "ease off a bit" on some of da most oppressive rules, and therefore simply let their children have a slightly-more-pleasant existence for da ENTIRE REST OF THEIR LIVES??? Da old adage, "Don't spend it all in one place!" comes to mind here --- kind of like if someone wastefully squanders his entire disability-check in just da first few days of da month ("Oh, boy --- PARTY TIME!!!) and then has nothing left to use over da entire remainder of da month, and thus has to just miserably sit around and mope in dissatisfied dejection for nearly four weeks till his next "helping of lifeblood" is released to him! Why not instead just carefully dole out said precious limited funds-allotment a little at a time over da entire month, so dat he will have enough for everything he needs?

yangxiety 

Apprehensive uncertainty regarding whether ya are balancing out yer ying properly.

sprangxiety 

Feelings of apprehension dat a person or animal is gonna leap out at you.
Our new kitten loves to lie in wait and then pounce on any unsuspecting family-member who walks by; we've clipped his claws and so he never actually harms us, but it still gives everyone mild sprangxiety due to our never knowing what hiding-place he's gonna unexpectedly rocket out from next.

fangxiety 

What Clarita Haast experienced whenever her famous snake-milker husband, Bill, worked with all of his scaly slithery predator-reptiles.
It's amazing how cool-nerved Bill Haast seemed to be while working around all of those lethal snakes; most people would have been beside themselves with fangxiety!

clangxiety 

Da wound-up feeling of nervous anticipation dat you experience when you're positioned near to a bell-type alarm of some kind dat could startlingly go off at any moment.
Someone who's prone to clangxiety should not work at a fire station.

clementcy 

What was most definitely **not** granted Ken Rex McElroy on July 10, 1981.
Trena McElroy may indeed have wished dat Del and da other shooters had given her "town bully" husband some clementcy on dat infamous day in Skidmore, Missouri, but da townspeople had gotten totally fed up with said arrogant criminal's intimidation and brutality, and so any further tolerance of said cruelty was not to be.

bumper crop 

An extra-abundant harvest of vehicle-parts dat are grown on a truck farm.
As much as some motorheads love to bash into things, they better hope dat there's always a bumper crop each year, so dat they'll be able to get replacements whenever they need them!
