runaway roll

Refers to an inadequately-perforated and/or too-lightweight spool of paper towels or toilet-tissue. When you try to merely tear off a few sheets by giving the end of the roll a moderate yank, the paper does not separate the way you expected, and so the roll just wastefully whizzes off yards and yards all over the place, obliging you to fumingly remove the messily-bunched-up wad from the holder and tediously re-roll the paper inch-by-inch back onto the core again.
I do indeed prefer to purchase the "bargain basement" tissue-paper rolls from the supermarket or department store --- especially if they have a sale on the huge 20-roll "bales" --- but I find that a lot of times they are "runaway rolls"... the company goofed when they punched the rolls' perforations, and so that's largely why they're being sold off so cheaply.

coup de grass

Da final status of an argument from a teenager about not wanting to mow da lawn.

whoopee-doodle-doo

An early-morning fart that is so loud and/or odiferous that it wakes everybody up.
I saw a short YouTube video about failed "as seen on TV" products which stated that the much-hyped activated-charcoal mattress-pads were not really all that effective at absorbing odors from a person's whoopee-doodle-doos, but then elsewhere I saw testimonials that glowingly-praised the performance of fart-absorbing underwear, so I dunno what to think.

injunuity

Cleverly-sneaky methods utilized by disrespecters of Native Americans in da hope of bilking them out of their lands, resources, etc.
Fro whatever reasons (opinions vary as to da causes), People of the Red Path are viewed as being especially susceptible to da effects of alcohol, and so it doesn't really take all dat much injunuity to surmise dat they can be persuaded to do what you want if you ply them with enough "fire-water".

irritable vowel syndrome

Refers to a semi-serious malady whereby an impatient/cantankerous person habitually "whimpers 'n' growls" using long drawn-out wordless/meaningless noises that, if written out phonetically, would consume a whole lotta letters other than consonants, such as "Aaaaaaaaaarrgghhhuuuuuuuuuhhhhh...!" or, "Eeeeeeeeeennnggguuuuuuuuuhhh...!"
I never take my spoiled-rotten teenage cousin along on family shopping-trips anymore... the lengthy wait-times between stores, our unwillingness to purchase the unnecessary/overly-expensive items he desires, our inability to go around to all the places he wants to visit, and the late hour that we usually get home all conspire to give him a major case of irritable vowel syndrome, and this constant fretting takes all the cheerfulness out of the trip for everyone else.
