fanominal

Hugely-impressive from either a breeze-creating or dedicated-audience standpoint.
Da overheated crowd's voluminous cheering when da theater's new five-bladed air-blowers were demonstrated was truly fanominal.

flagon-dry

Someone who abstains from tossing back steins of pale ale.
What is da difference between a recovering alcoholic and da large gossamer-winged insect dat eats mosquitos? Well, da soaring bug is a "dragon-fly", and da person is a "flagon-dry" --- i.e., he is now a teetotaler who never wets da inside of his fancy metal or glass tankard with strong drink, but instead just proudly displays it empty in his front window or on a shelf to show dat he's no longer using it for its intended purpose.

straightcycle

An either men's or women's two-wheeler, not an either-gender-rideable model.
Now dat many ladies are more active/rugged bikers and no longer wear skirts when "going for a pedal", a dude's more-sturdy/rigid triangular-framed bike is perfectly suitable for them to ride, as well, and so it's more of a "bi-cycle", not just a male-only "straightcycle".

rectifry

A bungling attempt to alleviate a problem or malfunction, but which ends up just completely destroying said problematic object/situation, or making matters infinitely worse.
Angus MacGyver's alter-ego, MacGruber, is infamous for his rectifrying any situation he is faced with.

constubble

A member of da "prim-'n'-proper police" who goes sniffing around to make sure dat every dude in da precinct has shaved his face smooth.
I went to da Seashore Trolley Museum in Kennebunkport, Maine one day without bothering to "mow da lawn", figgering dat said establishment is such an informal place dat nobody would mind or even notice all dat much if I had a slightly whiskery chin. And sure enough, not only did I receive no disapproving frowns or stares from da staffpeople, but I was highly amused --- and relieved --- to observe dat every single father in da various families of young children who were also touring da museum and riding on da streetcars ALSO had a day-old, so obviously there were indeed no constubbles roaming around to wag their disapproving fingers at anyone.

theresy

If "heresy" is an unpopular idea, then da word "theresy" must mean a palatable-to-current-public-opinion belief; one would logically wonder, then, why da grouchy guy in "Green Eggs and Ham" did not want said proffered delicacies located "there" as well as "here", since "there" would conceivably have been a spot where only yummy-'n'-pleasant comestibles would have been permitted, and so he should have been willing to try a taste if "there" was an acceptable place to present them to him.

naughty-gift scavenger

A low-income person who trundels a wheelbarrow all around town on Christmas morning and collects the lumps of coal that Santa left in the stockings of all the bratty youngsters, so that he can take it back home and burn it in his stove for heat.
As we all know, Santa is extremely careful about determining who's actually been naughty or nice ("He's makin' a list, and checkin' it twice"), and so quite a significant percentage of the children in any given area will probably receive high-grade anthracite as their Christmas present. A naughty-gift scavenger, therefore, should have little trouble filling up his 'barrow come Christmas Day, since most parents wouldn't want "that dirty black stuff" in their houses, anyway, and thus they would probably be all too happy to be rid of it; about the only families who would likely tell him no would be fellow-indigent folks who themselves would want to use said sooty lumps in their own furnaces.
