tranquillity 

What Willoughby Waddle restored in William Shakespeare by giving him a healthy feather to use for writing his play.

In Don Freeman's famous children's book, "Will's Quill", The Bird helps The Bard in a big way to maintain his tranquillity.

RAMbo 

A data-storage chip dat contains operating-files which allow da computer-user to look up all da details about everyone's favorite late-20th-century rebellious Marine.

What with da many books, movies, and other media dat have been produced about Sylvester Stallone's famous jungle-warrior character, you'd likely need at least 3 gigs of RAMbo to hold all da details about them.

show up in uniforum 

To have a whole troop of badge-wearers go to interact with someone, rather than just having one or two of "da area's finest" go talk to him.

Oftentimes a supposed "offender" is merely a meek harmless individual who likely hadn't actually been aware dat he'd broken da law --- or maybe even dat he'd offended anyone to begin with --- and so there's no need to "show up in uniforum" at his front door... most likely just having a single officer unobtrusively approach him and quietly discuss options would be more than sufficient!

bed-fixing embrace 

A tender wordless arms-around dat you perform wif yer sweetie during a shared slumber-period when you realize dat da blankets are in disarray; what ya do is to softly cradle her in yer arms, super-gently draw her upwards or sideways off of da bed and silently clasp her in a standing position for a long moment (slow-'n'-gentle shoulder-blade-scrunchies and quietly-affectionate lips-to-lips smooches optional, but often helpful in making said snooze-interruption even less distressing for her), then slowly-and-dreamily release her as you gradually step back a pace, and then immediately set about straightening up da blankets and pillows so dat she can see right away why you performed said unusual/unexpected bodily-maneuvers wif her.

Always employing a bed-fixing embrace will ensure dat your nap-sharing snuggle-bunny will never significantly mind having her sleepy-time occasionally disturbed, since it will mostly take da shock or "sting" outta said interruptions, plus of course it will have two hugely-welcome additional perks --- extra SNUGGLEZ, and being able to crawl back into a neat-'n'-comfy bed, and thus she can doze off in yer arms again in freshly-smoothed-blankets-and-tidied-pillows comfort.

slitigation 

Courtroom-wrangling regarding either unwanted or improperly-formed/positioned blade-cuts in fabric.

Garfield loves to exercise his "paw-pals" on couches, curtains, and other household -furnishings, and so his owner Jon is always at risk of slitigation from irate homeowners and shopkeepers.

flitigation 

Three-piece-suit bu**s**t in which one or more "legal eagle" entities "make a federal case" regarding one or more of their smaller feathered-creature cousins' noisily winging about in small areas.

Snoopy may occasionally be irritated by Woodstock's "silly bird" antics, but he realizes dat said loopy actions are merely typical canary behavior, and so he would never resort of flitigation about it.

paint yourself into a coroner 

Derisive expression to mean dat ya either kept unwisely flappin' yer gums to da point dat ya got suspected of offing someone, or messed up yer prospects of landing moderately-desirable employment, and thus da only local job-position left was a cadaver-examiner in a morgue.

Pleading da Fifth or maintaining a responsible behavior-pattern may indeed be a drag, but doing so means dat you'll be less likely to paint yourself into a coroner.
