QuacksO's definitions

bisontennial

Da 200th anniversary of buffalo-cultivation in da USA.
The word "bisontennial" (usually spelled with an "e" instead of an "a" in this instance) can also refer to the lesser-known wild-west-themed illustrations made by the original artist of Lewis Carrol's famous children's fantasy-books "Alice In Wonderland" and "Through the Looking-Glass".

insinewation

A less-than-pleasant hint or suggestion regarding someone's connective-tissue.
Body-builders detest being asked what energy-drinks they use; in said athletes' minds, the asker's insinewation is that they are relying on said proteins/electrolytes to help them to "bulk up" artificially, rather than just gradually building their impressively-ample muscles through workouts alone.

misoggynist

Someone who detests anything that's not totally firm and crisp.
Some people are such dyed-in-the-wool misoggynists that they only want to eat bananas that are green; I prefer bananas when they are just starting to get little brown spots.

peevesdropping

Clandestine surveillance of one or more individuals to ascertain what they typically grumble about.
Most complaining-prone individuals are more than willing to openly voice their chief gripes to anyone who will listen, so there should seldom be any need to resort to peevesdropping in order to become privy to said subject matter!

John James Autobahn

A famous painter who loved to create magnificent detailed and colorful artwork-renderings of the different makes/models of zippy cars that traverse Germany's high-speed motorways.
Like his well-known feathered-friend-image-painting counterpart, John James Autobahn's one big regret about his work was that he was obliged to bring to a stop and park each of the speedy cars that he "captured on canvas", so that said "subject" vehicle would stay still for him to scrutinize its minute features and reproduce them with his pigments. John was famously known as"the boy who hated garages" --- he felt that these man-made and "confining" monstrosities were all so hideously ugly, and that the fast and nimble "light on their wheels" vehicles he loved were so much more beautiful and delightful to observe when they were out roaming and racing about, just as free as the air they passed through.

Pshortemy

The pint-sized sibling of the famous ancient scholar. Yeah, Compton's Encyclopedia never took the time to tell you about him in middle school... shame on them. He was just as worthy and important as Ptallemy.
Pshortemy always looked up to (figuratively AND literally!) his much-more-prolific senior brother; this "tol-ler"-statured sibling did use his vast smarts/abilities to build "little brother" a nice pair of stilts, though, so we know that Big Bubba had a loving/caring side, and didn't let his fame go to his head too much.

obsolession

A fanatical interest in outdated items and/or technology.
Truth be told, obsolession isn't necessarily always an invalid/unwise practice --- if you "keep an eye on the trends" and then wait till some item you want is no longer "current", you may be able to purchase it for pennies on the dollar, or perhaps even get it for free if a retailer or company is simply tossing all its old stock.
