Yassar Arathin

A little-known relative of the infamous fanatical Palestinian political "heavyweight". Far less militaristic or radical (not to mention a lot less corpulent --- i.e., "fat") than his "black sheep" kinsman, he emigrated to the United States and founded a clinic for helping people lose weight and achieve trim fitness.

Yassar Arathin has enjoyed modest success with his dieting clinic; he has also made a small side-business of helping people decide how to spell the last name of another infamous Arab extremist leader, Muammar Gaddafi (or "Gadhaffi", "Khadaffi", "Quadaffi", etc.).

slumber party

Where several youngsters share a child's bedroom during his nap-time, to make said unwelcome sleep-period seem less boring and distressing. Similar to how a small group of neighborhood pre-teens will jog along wif a child who is having to do boring/arduous chores around da yard, so dat he feels less unhappy performing said drudgery.

Parents take note: if your child finds nap-time so torturously agonizing that he actually needs to hold an impromptu slumber party just to get through it, perhaps he doesn't even need the naps at his age, and so you should no longer insist on them.

trisickle

A "step up" from da classic harvesting-tool dat da "Grim Reaper" usually carries, this device combines the design of his trident with narrow semicircular blades for more efficient/prolific crop-felling.

We already had it bad enough when that clueless "devil" Obomba was president, but now that we've got "The Donald" in power, he's coming at us with a bleepin' trisickle!

flivverous

Refers to a silly enthusiasm/interest in "primitive" motorcars.

The "Gumdrop" book series was quite entertaining; I cannot understand why some people consider reading these "ancient" kiddie-tomes to be flivverous.

prepawsterous

Something dat's significantly outside da realm of da "standard 'n' usual" regarding a four-legged friend.

Some cats may indeed have a larger appetite than others, but Garfield's is prepawsterous!

gearrigation

10W-40.

Older engines and transmissions may need a bit of extra gearrigation, so don't be shy or stingy about topping off da reservoirs slightly above da dipsticks' "full" lines.

termoil

A temperish political dust-up regarding an election-related matter.

Da Y2K election was a classic example of a major termoil.
