crime of the sentry

Da fox guarding da henhouse (duh), pulling off da perfect heist unrivaled by any crime in da past hundred years.
Maybe it is indeed true dat "da butler did it", but in order to pull off said "crime of the sentry", said suave ironed-coat-and-starched-tails lackey would have needed help from da front-gate watchman, as well.

papyruscy

Seeing as how it's been so long since da ancient scrolls of Rome, Greece, and Egypt were originally penned, any associated copyrights have probably long since expired, and thus da content of said vintage texts has likely passed into da public domain; I would therefore imagine dat nowadays you would be free to quote from these antique writings all you want without fear of being sued for papyruscy.

horizontal handshake

A.k.a. "moocher's greeting" or "glad-handout"; it refers to where one of your "friends" beamingly approaches you with extended arm as if to greet you with a hearty palm-clasp, but instead of positioning his hand vertically the way one usually does when shaking hands, he holds his outstretched palm **upwards** so that his hand is horizontal --- this "gimme, gimme, gimme" position is how his hand is usually held whenever he is around fellow humans (duh!).
I always feel suspicious whenever someone greets me with a horizontal handshake, since it is a good indication that he is planning to ask me for a handout.

A smilingly-playful salutation dat consists of da phrase, "The color between orange and green." Translation: "YELLOOOO!"

rexpectations

Whatever lofty predictions of interest, entertainment, excitement, etc. dat one has in his mind when researching da Tyrannosaurus.
As Ian Malcolm had vigorously warned, John Hammond should have had considerably higher rexpectations of said towering giants' strength and savage determination when he designed da enclosures for them in Jurassic Park and Site B; he should have realized dat these powerful lumbering thick-skinned leviathans from da ancient world might not be effectively contained by merely modern-day electrified wires or chain-link fences!

Austraylia

Da large south-seas continent where a lot of wayward livestock roams.
Crocodile Dundee preferred da freedom of da bush to da confines of da big city, so perhaps his favorite locale could be termed, "Austraylia".
