dyeagram

A schematic of a pigment-processing machine.

I bought a second-hand fabric-tinting machine that had minor issues, but it came without a maintenance manual, so I had to Google a dyeagram to print out and study.

lagerithms

Mathematical formulas used by researchers in their efforts to create an award-winning beer.

I do not currently consume alcohol and I never plan to let it touch my lips for as long as I live, so I dunno why my high-school math teacher insists on our learning about lagerithms.

dustination

Can refer to either:
(1) Da wastebasket where you periodically dump yer loaded debris-scoop while sweeping up.
(2) Wherever famed actor Hoffman is heading towards at any given time.

I do indeed appreciate my physically-inform buddy's offer to help me tidy up, but da prob is dat he isn't very steady on his feet or able to keep a proper grip on da pan when carrying it to da waste-bin, and so he usually spills some of its contents before he reaches his dustination.

Libyan gnashionalists

Da group of teeth-grindingly wrathful terrorists whom Doc Brown had tricked into giving him their plutonium with the understanding that he would incorporate it into a bomb that he'd been contracted to build for them, but instead he used said radioactive material to power his totally-for-peaceful-purposes time-machine.

Doc Brown found out da hard way dat da Libyan gnashionalists did not take kindly to having their trust --- and their plutonium --- repurposed in a way they had not intended. Fortunately for Doc, he wore a bulletproof vest da second time, and so things worked out fine in da end... Doc got to power his time machine, and da terrorists didn't blow up innocent people with their "bomb" which turned out to be just a container of old parts from pinball-machines.

Cadilladic converter

A tailpipe-attachment dat super-quiets da cacophonous din of your "boring everyday car" engine and thus makes your exhaust sound like a pricey luxury-brougham.

A Cadilladic converter may indeed make your clunky old jalopy SOUND better, but it's still da same rattly worn-out heap underneath!

fontrepreneur

A newbie trying to market unique typefaces.

Arial and Times New Roman are really all we need for ordinary printed text; why do all of these fontrepreneurs feel da need to come along and add even more styles to our already-yards-long list of possible typefaces???

HO-scale

Da track-size of glorious electric train dat da jovially-chuckling Santa Claus laughingly leaves in your stocking.

After "The Don" made his infamous disgraceful remark about da female college-athletes' "traditional people-of-color" hairdos, he should have said to himself, "Imus buy each of those insulted ladies an HO-scale train set as recompense for my outrageous insensitivity."
