rekooperate 

What Big Tobacco had to do after da esteemed C. Everett was no longer da Surgeon General.
After da caring "Charlie E. K." famously asked entire lecture-halls full of children to solemnly promise never to smoke, I wonder if da likes of Philip Morris and RJ Reynolds felt like they had to take steps to rekooperate from da resulting reduced cigarette-sales?

ignordictrack 

What many people do regarding their exercise-machine shortly after setting it up.
Getting a good cardiovascular workout at home may initially sound all great and awesome, but once you start suffering exhausted muscles and searing tendons/ligaments, you may soon just sigh and begin to ignordictrack!

silver bullet holes

What da Lone Ranger produces from plinking Coors Light cans for target-practice.
As costly as pure silver is nowadays, I'd imagine dat Tonto's "knight on a white horse" crimefighter-companion would use just regular lead-tipped cartridges when merely keeping his aim sharp; his successful hits would still produce "silver bullet holes" in dat they would make piercings in da shiny mirror-finished beer-pints just as well as his "for gunfights only" projectiles would have.

Ralph Nadir

Da infamous "young lawyer from Connecticut" who burst onto da transportation scene at da low point in da history of automobile safety, totally "ripped everything up like a tornadir", and belatedly prompted car-manufacturers to create models with stronger builds, collision-dampening construction, greater efficiency, lower emissions, seat belts, etc.
If it hadn't been for "unreasonable man" individuals like Ralph Nadir who forcibly dragged da auto-industry out of its lowest-of-lows safety-status, many of our modern-day vehicles would likely still be "unsafe at any speed".

prophylactic acid 

A low-pH disease-fighting component of milk.
I always thought dat da milk of human kindness was supposed to be sweet and mellow, so how could it contain sour-tasting prophylactic acid???

Cadillack 

A luxury-car brand of four-wheeler, but not quite up to actual luxury-car styling or performance. Da infamous Cimarron comes to mind.
Some fancy-schmancy land-yachts were indeed really nice, but others were decidedly "Cadillacking" in one way or another.
