Definitions by QuacksO

deeceetful 

Less-than-honest descriptions/assertions about an electrical power-supply that is supposed to produce "dee-cee" (i.e., direct current), but is in fact just a simple "ay-cee" (i.e., alternating current) transformer, with no costly diodes or capacitors included inside.
Some companies are deeceetful in their manufacturing of plug-in wall-power-packs for consumer electronics --- rather than using a "square-group" of four diodes to make a proper full-wave rectifier, they just stick a single diode in there to make a crude half-wave rectifier, which not only produces a lot more hum and much "choppier" DC voltage, but also utilizes less than half the current-output of the transformer.

shiverlry 

Da act of a guy's loaning his sweater/hoodie/coat to a lady who is not warm enough; he is therefore obliged to be chilly himself, but by thunder he's being da lady's gallant white knight to think of her comfort above his own.
I always carry an extra jacket in my day-pack whenever I go for a walk with a nice lady during cooler weather, so that I won't have to practice shiverlry if a stiff breeze comes up.

cowarden 

A wildlife agent who has no backbone do actually get out there and do his job.
Considering that many sportsmen are armed to the teeth and often take ample quantities of alcohol on their game-seeking sojourns, I cannot really blame someone for being a cowarden when it comes to enforcing a state's hunting laws.
cowarden by QuacksO November 15, 2019
An assets-enrichment-seeking court case brought by someone claiming to have suffered a financial setback.
If you get gypped by someone for a lot of money, it usually will be because said shyster had no funds of his own to begin with, so there would probably be little use in filing a lossuit over it --- "you can't get blood out of a stone", so it would likely be just a waste of time and court-costs.

cowardenation 

A cooperative association among a number of law-enforcement officials.
One of the main causes of widespread animal-poaching is a lack of cowardenation among manpower across the affected areas.

winter-time 

Refers to da extra hours dat you get during da end-of-da-year season for sleeping, hobbies. indoor leisure-activities, etc., due to its often being too chilly and/or dark outside to preform da mundane-drudgery tasks dat you'd otherwise feel obliged to do while da weather was milder and there were more hours of daylight.
Having extra winter-time to relax and recreate is all well and good, but da problem wid dat is dat da tasks dat you would ordinarily have performed during those colder/darker months will still hafta be completed eventually, and so you will therefore have additional arduous/tedious "spring tasks" to grumble/wheeze through come warmer weather.

seagullable

Being comparably prone to getting duped/deceived as are da common noisy white-feathered "nature's vacuum cleaner" dat hangs out at da coast. (Can also loosely refer to one's likelihood of naively getting copiously pooped upon by said wing-swishing aerial bombers... well, don't stand underneath a wheeling/hovering flock of said flapper-crappers, Stupid --- da more of dem dat are simultaneously occupying one small parcel of airspace, da more likely dat at least one of dem will need to "spend a penny" during da particular time while they're positioned over your head, and just like those comparably-beautiful-but-also-horridly-raucus-and-filthy Canada geese, they usually don't pay much attention to what's below them whenever they "file their business-papers"!)
Another definition of "seagullable" could be with regards to one's lack of basic forethought or shrewdness when conducting everyday activities around said large opportunistically-watchful morsel-ravenous beach-scavengers... those prominent "Do not leave food unattended --- seagulls will steal it!" signs on the outdoor porch-decks of coastal diners aren't posted there for nothing!
