Mego

Da opposite of a "Yugo" car.

Da "tiny 'n' tinny" Yugo was indeed a totally awful-quality vehicle, but da frail pint-sized Renault LeCar was even worse, so I wonder if it would qualify as a "Mego"?

resipient

Da thirsty individual to whom you give a cool refreshing drink.

This word is not reserved for liquid-imbibers on hot days, either --- you'll have grateful resipients on a frosty morning, as well, when you bring them cups of steaming coffee or cocoa!

Murphy's Law Of Buying In Bulk

"You can keep purchasing small costlier-per-piece packages of a product till Doomsday, and you will always continue needing a sizable amount/quantity of it per week/month/year. But then just as soon as you plunk down a tidy sum for an economy-priced bulk-quantity of said commodity, your needs and/or lifestyle will immediately change, and so now you will likely never even begin to consume that much volume in your entire lifetime."

For example, you purchase several cases of plain white paraffin candles for your antique chandelier that you love to illuminate every evening, only to then discover that an electric-candle "upgrade" kit is available, and comes with fixtures that look just like the elegant candles and fit perfectly into your chandelier's holders! So now you're stuck with many hundreds of little white-wax tapers that you'll probably never have any use for.

I feel like such a total bulk-buying buffoon --- I had been consuming several expensive plywood-cutting circular-saw blades per year in my household woodworking-tasks, and so eventually I had purchased a bargain-priced fifty-pack of only-minutely-rusty "new old stock" Skilsaw-blades from a private seller on E-Bay. But then I had started using a larger-bladed table-saw for most of my panel-slicing/trimming needs, and so I've only used one or two of the circular-saw blades from the package in the many months since that time! Sounds like a classic case of "Murphy's Law Of Buying In Bulk" to me!!!

impreachment hearing

A possibly-giving-you-da-boot-from-office testimony-session whereby you're not only compelled to go through da distress and humiliation of trying to defend/justify da actions under discussion, but are also forced to endure copious Bible-readings relating to your supposed transgressions.

One way to determine if a scandalized politician is truly da "Man of God" dat he claims to be would be to subject him to an impreachment hearing and see if he is truly able to maintain his composure, or if he eventually "cracks" and outbursts with a noisy tirade.

pluscebo

Something dat makes you think you're getting additional when you actually aren't.

If a chick appears to have a satisfying-full bosom under her blouse, it's wise to check to see if it's merely a pluscebo --- i.e., she might merely be wearing a padded bra.

treble damages

What you ask for in a lawsuit against an audio-equipment manufacturer due to your stereo's loudspeakers having a dull muffled "muddy" sound instead of producing crisp high-frequencies as they are supposed to.

I am amazed that anyone would bother suing for treble damages; since many audiophiles --- especially the younger ones --- complain that their systems don't produce enough BASS... usually the midrange and high notes come through just fine.
