Stingapore

An Asian province with high concentrations of nettles, bees, and other living things that one would not wish to get too friendly with.

With all of its assorted "painful" attributes, it's little wonder that Stingapore has been a hotbed for strife and upheaval for so long.

sybiling

A brother or sister of Basil Fawlty's wife.

The raw-nerved Basil Fawlty is already scared/stressed-out enough by his "little piranha fish" spouse when she's just there herself, so he'd likely go totally whacko if one or more of her sybilings came to visit, as well.

C-SPAM

A major b**ls**t media-broadcaster that bombards us wif a constant deluge of useless crapola regarding our ineffective and corrupt government workings.

My cable company offered to include C-SPAM to my channels "package" for just $1.99 per month, but I opted out.

Swiss bank account

Da "hush-hush" refrigerated-storage locale where ya stash yer undeclared wheels and/or wedges of tasty porous cheese so dat da greedy IRS "mice" won't "nibble" on it. You just always hope dat nobody "rats you out".

Mice who are expert at surreptitiously removing da bait from traps without getting "caught" could likely accumulate a fairly-sizable "Swiss bank account" if (A) there are a number of baited traps around his locale, and (2) if da humans who set da traps keep re-baiting them whenever they see dat da previous cheese-block is gone.

prosticutor

A legal zealot who either poses as a "customer" in order to entrap streetwalkers so that said zealot can subsequently press illegal-propositioning charges against them, or offers sexual favors to court-personnel and/or plaintiffs/defendants in exchange for their "cooperative" testimony or other ethically-questionable actions.

I try to avoid legal entanglements at all costs, since I know that there are so many prosticutors out there.

ingracieate

What George Burns's cute and charming spouse could do with most any male colleague.

Actress Allen tried to ingracieate herself with William Boyd to get him to pull strings for her wif da Hollywood mucky-mucks in order to get her husband into da western pictures. Da Hopalong Cassidy star was indeed pleased to work with said famous and likeable showgirl, although he immediately saw through her little game right off.

exzillowration

Da heady juiced-up feeling dat you get whenever you successfully make a major real-estate deal.

Shysters like George C. Parker and Charles Ponzi must have experienced exzillowration on a regular basis during their heydays; unfortunately, their less-than-honorable business-dealings eventually caught up with them.
