Camp-a-Bellow

Great "fun activities" youth-establishment to send all of your noisy brats for the summer, because of the delightful lack of "stuffy discipline" that needlessly demands quiet and meekness at all times --- at this joint, kids are allowed to yell and shout all they want. Located on a well-known island off the coast of New Brunswick, between Canada and the U.S. Deceased Prez F.D.R. had a summer cottage built on that same Island --- maybe he enjoyed hollering sometimes, also.
Harassled young mom: I just can't think how I'm gonna be able to stand having my fractious "holy terrors" underfoot for the whole summer.
Best friend (also a frazzled mother): Well, you could just send them to Camp-a-Bellow --- let 'em blow off a little steam so they'll be calmer come school-time.

anal retentive

Describes da status of someone who is so fussy, orderly, and "by da book" dat if you tell him, "Up yer a**!" in disgusted response to his excessive expectations of perfection, he actually tries to persuade you to stay and "follow through" --- in a literal sense --- on said merely-figurative retort.
Be careful who you tell to "Shove it up your butt!" wif regards to overly-picky requirements --- if you say it to an "anal retentive" person, he might actually put yer number on his speed-dial in order to occasionally ask you for said posterior-orifice "servicing".

judishiary committee

A group of top mucky-mucks who really "dish it out" when it comes to "dispensing" justice.
We serve oatmeal for any of our school's students who actually want it, but I don't insist dat they all consume huge bowls of it for their morning meal --- I don't want said impressionable youngsters to invalidly think dat da cafeteria-workers are part of a "judishiary committee". We offer other healthy selections like shredded wheat and milk, whole wheat pasta and tomato sauce, chopped-fruit cups, scrambled eggs, whole-grain buttered toast, and cinnamon applesauce.

ellendegeneration

The most recent crop of humans who have been apathetically corrupted by watching petty-sensational-BS talk-shows on cable.
Old fogy: I can't believe what horrid selfish lazy crap comes outta the mouths of the ellendegeneration these days... why, when I was a child, we had to blaw, blaw, blah, blah...

thunderstandable

Used to describe an action or idea which is within the realm of reason, given the deafeningly-noisy storm that was raging at the time.
Motorist: I would have stopped for you earlier, Pal, but I never heard you till just now --- this storm drowned out your horn till you got closer behind me.
Motorist's buddy, who had been honking for him to pull over so that he could tell him something: That's thunderstandable --- I'd figgered as much.

auktion

The real reason that those huge dark-gray flightless birds with the oversized weird-looking beaks aren't found in the wild anymore... we didn't kill them; they all just got sold off to the highest bidder, and now a few people are hoarding them on remote farms.
An auktion can also refer to a wares-selling shindig in the Norwegian village of Aukland.

ospray

The dense shower of water-droplets made by a large bird-of-prey when it swoops down to the surface of a lake or river to grab a fish.
I love watching raptors on the lake in the early morning just after dawn, when they make such delightful and magnificent bright-sunlight-illuminated osprays whenever they swoop down to snatch food from the water.
