pangxiety

Being afraid of da dentist or syringe-wielding doctor.

Thanks to modern anesthetics and ultra-sharp hypodermic needles, many routine medical procedures involve little or no pain anymore, and so there is often little need to feel much if any pangxiety.

format war

Refers to a repetitive series of hot-headed and destructive actions whereby two or more people seethingly format a computer-disk or other media-storage device over and over to erase the previous user's files because each person either dislikes/disapproves of the content that the other users are storing on it, or each person selfishly/arrogantly feels that his own files are more important/necessary/virtuous than those of any of the device's other users.

I always bring extra floppy disks and/or flash-drives with me --- and clearly label them with my name --- to store my own files when I use the office computer, to hopefully avoid any format wars.

cluckold

A rooster who is no longer the only tailfeather-plumed dude in the barnyard who enjoys "ultimate privileges" with "the ladies".

I unexpectedly acquired several dozen additional hens from a neighbor who was thinning his own flock, and so I had to add a couple roosters to "keep up with demand"... my original daybreak-crower was none too pleased to be cluckolded like that.

grassroots organization

A groups of ordinary citizens responsible for producing marijuana seedlings.

Disgusted teenager: I was invited by a local youth-counselor to join a "grassroots organization" for the "betterment of mankind", and so naturally I'd assumed that I would be helping people to cultivate a little weed for fun and recreational use. But of course it turned out to just be volunteering for boring tasks like performing community-service, scheduling and attending town-meetings, printing up and distributing petition-flyers, etc... what a letdown!

Wanna come along on some howling adventures wif me?

What you eye-twinklingly ask a buddy, infirm/elderly neighbor, cute chick, etc. when you both know dat you're merely asking said other person if he/she wants to ride along wif you on a simple shopping and/or errands-running trip into town.

Asking someone, "Wanna come along on some howling adventures wif me?" can yield benefits not just for you, but for da other person, too --- not only will he be providing you wif pleasant/entertaining companionship on your otherwise-boring-and-ordinary sojourn, but it may also allow HIM to accomplish one or more desired activities of his own while he's in said business district, such as stocking up on groceries/housewares, doing laundry, etc. Plus of course, he will be able to perform said tasks more easily, economically, safely, etc, than if he'd had to either make said "trip to da big city" all by himself, or get someone else to do it for him.

I prish-ee-yate it

What you say to a fellow human to humorously express your gratitude for his favoring you in some way. Usually said regarding a fairly-minor assistance-extending, where exceptionally "proper 'n' dignified" thanks would not usually be expected; it can also be used to lighten da mood if da circumstances surrounding da other person's helping you had been somewhat trying, tedious, exhausting, etc.

Cool dude, #1: Sorry to interrupt ya, Bud, but before you re-mount my tire, could you possibly install a longer valve-stem for my rim, so dat I could more-easily add air when necessary?
Cool dude #2, who's operating da tire-mounting machine: Sure thing, Chief! I get 'em in bulk, too, so I'll only charge ya an extra two-fifty for it.
Cool dude #1: Thanks so much, Man --- I prish-ee-yate it super-greatly!
