QuacksO's definitions

Because I said so!

An imperious reply that an authority figure --- most often a parent --- impatiently tells someone under his/her care when he does not wish to admit that there is literally no good/valid reason why said dependent should have to comply with the directive, but the authority figure doesn't want to admit it.

Kids are smarter than you think --- if you tell them, "Because I said so!" even just once, they will never trust your judgement again.

slamnesia

Lack of memory regarding having closed one or more doors too loudly.

After da formerly-raucous-noise-enjoying prince of Hubbub began loving quiet pleasant sounds instead, he developed total slamnesia regarding how da kingdom's residents had previously indulged him and his thunderous-din cravings by using excessive force when entering/exiting their dwellings and placing items on tables/countertops.

whypers

Da swishing-back-and-forth devices dat clear da "windshield of yer mind" from all of da "asking da reason" questions dat are "rained down on you" by petulant fellow humans.

If you're gonna hafta be dealing wif one or more "whyny" individuals for an extended period, you will want to make sure dat your "whypers" are in good working order.

prewreckuisite

A condition dat has to exist already if you want to strip an item for parts.

Buying two old-but-still-basically-intact junker-clunkers and then combining them into one drivable vehicle means dat there is no prewreckuisite --- both jalopies belong to you now, and so you can "chop 'n' swap" to your heart's content.

hackupuncture

A damage-repairing treatment for your database following a malware-attack.

Another definition for da term "hackupuncture" could refer to an unfortunately-all-too-common seemingly-helpful/caring offer to de-bug your computer, but which is itself a cyber-attack in disguise!

an eye for an aye

What an experienced/observant stud supposedly possesses when it comes to spotting "willing" ladies.

Some overly-confident guys think that they have "an eye for an aye" when they go out seeking gals with whom to get laid, but determining which chicks are actually that quick/casual about spreading their legs is usually quite a bit more difficult than that.

relaytionship

Refers to a type of romantic interaction whereby one of the lovebirds is merely trying to use said romance as a "bridge" or "stepping stone" to either gain access to someone else who's close to his romantic partner (i.e., he figures that he needs to "milk the cow to get to the calf"), or to favorably impress said partner on behalf of a buddy of his who is currently without a snuggle-bug, so that he can then "pass along" said lover to said buddy.

Spoiled-brat Nellie Olson smirkingly confided in Laura Ingalls that she actually didn't give a hoot about Cap Garland for himself; she was actually wanting to pursue Cap's best buddy Almanzo Wilder (whom Laura eventually ended up marrying herself, of course), and so she had befriended Cap merely to allow herself an excuse to get closer to Almanzo. Sounds like a classic relaytionship to me!
