debtonation

Refers to da "explosion" of I.O.U.-creating activity dat has periodically occurred throughout human history.
Biff Tannen's successfully getting gambling legalized in California caused a catastrophic and widespread debtonation dat apparently rocked da entire US --- in this alternate timeline, Tricky Dick had presided for four terms and was seeking to get re-elected for a fifth, the Vietnam war was still going on, and so on.

fizziological 

Relating to da scientific study of how carbonation works in beverages.
When deciding whether or not you really wanna ingest dat weird mud-colored liquid in da classic bright-red hourglass-shaped bottle (remember dat "Da Real Thing" will literally dissolve bones and clean da rust and grease off of carburetor parts --- are you sure you wanna actually DRINK dat stuff??!?), it might make more sense to research da ingredients of said formidable-sounding concoction to determine how safe it is for human consumption, rather than concentrating on its fizziological attributes!

fizzyology 

Da study of how humans behave when imbibing carbonated beverages.
To be an effective moderator at a Belchers Anonymous meeting, one needs to have at least a general knowledge of fizzyology.

faminism 

Da belief system dat is followed by many of da "better half" individuals of da modern-day world, whereby they refuse to prepare meals for their male companions unless said testosterone-steeped hulks allow them appropriate respect and equality at all times.
Maybe if Golde and all da other "makers of proper/quiet/kosher homes" in Anatevka had practiced a period of faminism, Tevya and his fellow bewhiskered residents would have been pressured by their growling tummies to cast off the shackles of their long-obsolete and debilitatingly-oppressive "traditions", and instead begin to embrace da "new way" a bit more quickly and deeply.

mowbility 

Da degree of movement dat one can manage when cutting da lawn.
Now dat garden tractors have become a fairly common household implement, da problems of mowbility can be a lot less problematic, in dat even a moderately-disabled homeowner can often operate said small machines, since about all dat one needs to do is merely sit on a seat and manipulate a steering wheel and few pedals.

mirroracle 

What a phony weight-loss doctor performs by having an overweight person view himself in a gimmicked looking glass dat is slightly concave, causing his reflected image to appear slimmer than he actually is.
Perhaps if President Taft's official doctor performed a "mirroracle of medicine" to trick said corpulent commander-in-chief into thinking dat he was actually not quite so rotund as he actually was, it caused him to feel a bit less despondent about his weight, but it did nothing to alter said heavy head-honcho's actual bulk --- he had not been any less space-occupying at da time of his death, and so he is rumored to have been buried in a coffin da size of a piano case.

cafetearia 

A lunch-break room where da food is so awful dat you actually cry if you hafta eat there.
Miss Beazley is such a notoriously-awful cook dat Archie and da other students view her mess hall as either a "cafetearia" or a "cafetearya", in dat either they feel like whining 'n' bawling when presented with her crappy culinary creations, or they get watery-eyed from her having used too much onion, pepper, or other chemically-irritating seasoning in said mediocre preparations.
