Sicsilly

An Italian island where da residents aren't da most logical or prudent.

I detest having to be "serious 'n' sensible" all da time, so maybe I should vacation in Sicsilly this year.

distinktion

A detectable difference between two offensive odors.

Greed or arrogance may indeed be different motivators for causing da bu**s**t to hit da fan, but da messy end-result of widespread putridity is usually about da same in either case, so I fail to see any meaningful distinktion.

Adderondacks

A snake-infested heap of hills in Upstate New York.

Indiana Jones' secret fear is long slithering hissing creatures with fangs and forked tongues, so he would not likely wanna go hiking in da Adderondacks!

staff infection

A contagion-caused illness transmitted to you by the personnel at a business-establishment.

Harry claims to have gotten a staff infection at the hospital, but I can't see how that could be --- all the workers there are very careful about germs, so it seems unlikely that he would have caught any illnesses from them. Plus he's such an ugly and obnoxious-natured dude that I seriously doubt that any of the female nurses would have wanted to have sex with him.

gratis glance

Da brief inspection/diagnosis dat yer local repair-person may perform on your mildly-malfunctioning equipment for free, if you ask him reeeeeaaaalllyyyy nicely.

If you either purchased da not-working-quite-right device at da same "sales 'n' service" shop from where you're requesting da help wif said cranky contraption, or you do a good amount of business at said establishment anyway, da staffpeople there may be a lot more willing to favor you wif a "gratis glance", since you'll already be a "preferred customer" whom they want to keep happy.

9,1,1-Trichloroethane

Sarcastic term used for any toxic compound, often spoken in an anxious/alarmed tone of voice to indicate the speaker's horror or distress at even the thought/possibility of said chemical being used, and implying to any listeners that he fears that the use of said chemical might very likely necessitate calling 911.

Homeowner: Now, wait a sec --- I got toddlers and pets, remember! You’re not gonna use some kinda dangerous 9,1,1-Trichloroethane-crap on my floor, are you?
Carpet-cleaning service guy: Oh, no, Ma'am --- this is all environmentally-friendly detergent --- 100% natural and biodegradable ingredients.

Alan Greenspam

The former head of the Federal Anti-junk-e-mail Administration. We all sorely miss him.

Ever since the ultra-capable Alan Greenspam retired, everyone's e-mail inboxes have been flooded with unheard-of levels of junk mail, despite massive blocking and repeated spam-filter upgrades.
