What da gal's parents in a shotgun wedding try to ensure dat da "loose with his zipper" dude's marriage to their daughter is gonna be.

Da singers in Da Yoopers' songs "Three Months Late" and "Da Couch Dat Burps" speak of a spermanent marriage of a young couple dat was prompted by da gal's missing several of her periods following a night of drunken "fun times".

eggshausted

Worn out from collecting eggs all morning.

I collected 200 dozen cackle-berries today, and now I am totally eggshausted... I was accustomed to collecting from just a few dozen chickens on our modest family farm. I shoulda known better than to start a part-time job at a commercial egg-farm without "breaking myself in" a bit.

confreshion

An admittance of guilt dat you got wild 'n' frisky wif one or more fellow humans.

If you see a teenage couple red-facedly heading into a curtained booth in a cathedral, you can bet they are likely there to make a mutual confreshion.

Feliz Navimom

Da "winter holidays" title dat appeals to da women's libbers of da world.

Small children are naturally less shy and more trusting around women than men (that's one reason that kindergarten and lower-grade schoolteachers are traditionally female), so having a visit from "Mother Christmas" during Feliz Navimom sounds like a good idea to me, since it would often create less fear and anxiety among da little ones than da "big jolly bearded guy in a huge red snowsuit" often does when he comes to deliver presents.

spewvenirs

Refers to da assorted scattered bits of ejected debris dat are randomly deposited over all surrounding surfaces/locales after an eruption of any kind.

I always try to cover my nose and mouth whenever I sneeze or cough so as to keep spewvenirs to a minimum.
