shack and shill
Refers to rigged real-estate bidding on a rickety dump of a dwelling... an elevated location --- and a nearby H2O source --- is optional.
If Shack and Shill went up da hill to fetch a pail of water, did they pay a "sky-high" price for said clear fluid, and use "liquid assets" to purchase it???

Stromboli Thurmond
If Stromboli Thurmond was mean to Pinocchio, does this indicate dat he was prejudiced against wooden marionettes, favoring real live people instead?

inscentive
Tiffany always offers to burn cinnamon-sticks in her house for me as an inscentive for my doing yucky/tedious home-repairs/upgrades for her.

observe Egyptian waterway
A.k.a., "See Nile"; this term refers to a "somewhat-out-of-it" older person's delusional fantasies, hallucinations, forgetfulness, and other indications/symptoms of his being "in la-la land".
True story --- yesterday I helped my elderly disabled friend wif his home-entertainment system, then gave him a ride to da local convenience store. While there, I observed another elderly dude wif a fancy late-'90's Lincoln Town Car, and spoke admiringly to him about da car. I then went and sat in my own car to wait for my aged friend to finish shopping. When he did re-emerge from da store a few minutes later, he chatted a bit and expressed admiration to da antique car's owner as he was on his own way into da store, then turned and got into da car's front passenger's seat and closed da door. Well, naturally, I assumed dat da car's owner had himself offered my friend a ride home, and so I tentatively went to confirm wif my friend dat he would no longer need a ride home from me. He looked a bit puzzled at my question, and then said dat no, he'd still thought dat I was gonna transport him back to his apartment. I actually had to (super-pleasantly and gently, of course, since it was obviously just a completely honest mistake) verbally point out to him dat he was in fact sitting in a different car --- "Well, ummmmm... MY car is over there... you're sitting in this OTHER man's car" --- before he finally "woke up" to da fact dat he was currently occupying da wrong vehicle. So as we were leaving, I smilingly joked wif my friend dat perhaps he had begun to "observe Egyptian waterway", as in, to become somewhat "see Nile". He took my gentle jocular ribbing in good humor.

stocking-stouffers
Small Christmas --- oops, I mean, WINTER HOLIDAY --- gifts of boxed frozen ready-to-eat-or-heat edibles.
Giving someone stocking-stouffers is all well and good, but you need to place said goodies in said cloth receptacles just shortly before their recipients come to collect them, since the frozen packages would likely start thawing before too long, and thus would make a drippy mess.

Mandeloreans
If Lightning McQueen and Strip Weathers had been able to have one or more Mandeloreans protectively pace them during his second race against Chick Hicks, there might have been less funny business from said puffed-up cheating win-at-all-costs Buick Grand National sedan.

schoing to ghoul
If kindergarten teachers and other faculty would actually take the time and effort to truly make beginner-students feel welcome and unafraid, it would feel a lot less like "schoing to ghoul" to said shy/timid youngsters.
