tonacity

What Tennessee Ernie Ford's famous (or infamous, depending on whether or not da judging individual stepped aside when he saw said burly personage coming) pick-and-shovel-wielding character possessed --- sixteen times over per day, in fact.

Thanks to da Fair Labor Standards Act, miners' tonacity does indeed relieve them of "owing their soul to the company store".

tinacity

Da status of not giving up in yer efforts to apply solder to a surface.

Sometimes copper wires may be blackened just from sitting for long periods, but with enough tinacity --- such as using Kroil-soaked sandpaper --- you may indeed be able to brighten said "cranky conductors" sufficiently to make them take a solder-coating in preparation to joining them together.

tanacity

Determined pursuit of a natural sun-darkening.

Actor Richard Anderson's face always looked "brown as a nut" in da Six Million Dollar Man episodes due to his tanacity --- during filming-breaks while playing Oscar Goldman, he would often sit outdoors with a cardboard-and-foil reflector held underneath his chin to get an even UV exposure.

tenassity

"Stick-with-itness" in one's efforts to get a gal to allow you access to her nether regions.

Tenassity is all well and good, but most guys love a chick's "upstairs" fun-bubbles, as well, and so one needs to have tenboobity, also, in order to obtain a totally satisfying touchy-feely experience.

magmatude

Da degree of an earthquake caused by a particular amount of molten rock in da area.

My home state of Maine experienced some of da largest volcanic eruptions in Earth's history, but dat was apparently close to half a billion years ago; nothing anywhere near dat magmatude occurs up here nowadays.

rhinocampus

Da part of yer brain dat develops as a child and causes you to start being "horny" as a teenager.

In da hilarious "men's vs. women's brain-structures" drawings, dudes are shown wif huge prominent "SEX" and "HAVE SEX" regions, so perhaps this shows dat males have larger rhinocampuses than females.

tornahdo

Dat's how YOU pronounce it; I say "torNAYdo".

In da "Wizard Of Oz" book, Dorothy's being delayed from entering da storm cellar wasn't due merely to indecisiveness about how to pronounce da name for da huge whirlwind dat was bearing down on da house: tornaydo, tornahdo --- it's still da same dangerous storm. Da reason dat she didn't reach da cellar in time was dat she went back to rescue her dog, Toto, and da house was lifted into da air before she could go back to da trap-door again.
