Jean Shepherd

A close "cousin breed" to the well-known central-western European species of dog, this choice of canine is favored by movie-stars for its loyalty and friendly disposition.
As a child, I heard a radio-ad narrated by someone calling himself "Jean Shepherd"... I remember wondering at the time how a dog could talk.

Magma Carta

Early-thirteenth-century resolution pertaining to molten rock formations under the Earth's crust.
The Magma Carta was ultimately unsuccessful due to Man's not being able to effectively control volcanic eruptions.

jarmageddon

What someone who hates canned food would feel like he was in if he was forced to subsist on Ball-bottled fare for any length of time.
Living "way out in da sticks" can indeed have its advantages, but if you have heavy snowfalls or flooding dat would prevent you from getting to da grocery store for a number of days on end, it could feel like "jarmageddon" if you hafta live on pickled beans and cucumbers for a week or more!

resiprocate

To draw up a measure of a beverage through a straw shortly after someone you're with has done so from his own cup or glass.
If you plop two glasses of a particular drink down on da table in front of both you and a companion, and then start greedily sucking up your portion, don't arbitrarily expect your seat-partner to resiprocate --- either he may not be thirsty, or he may not care for whatever liquid-concoction you've served him.

shutter-shudder

An involuntary muscle-twitching dat a camera-shy person feels from either having to press da release-button to take a photo, or when he hears da click of da camera when a picture is being taken of him.
One simple way to mostly eliminate image-blurring from fairly-minor shutter-shudder is to use a fast exposure-speed (and a flashbulb, too, if it's fairly low-light conditions); you may need to use a suitably large lens and wide aperture-setting to accommodate said swift-click camera-snap.

eeezh

Refers to da verbal "sound" of da "wide-grin" emoticon dat you create by typing ":D". Most often used when conversing on Instant Messenger, and is intended to either express amusement at your chat-buddy's last remark, or to indicate to him dat you are "just kidding" when playfully sending him a sarcastic/snarky message.
Sending someone an "eeezh" emoticon can also notify him that you have finished the fairly-lengthy joke which you were telling him in several "helpings" (i.e., separate IM messages) so that he would not have to just twiddle his thumbs for an extended period while you were feverishly typing out the entire joke into a single message.
An example of an "eeezh" emoticon to indicate that your last message was the joke's punch-line would be when ya finish telling the classic "middle-aged guy and the genie" joke:
You: But da genie says dat building a bridge to Hawaii would be too gigantic/difficult a wish for him to grant, so after carefully thinking it over again, da guy finally says to da genie, "I wish you could help me understand women." Da genie winces and then quickly asks, "So --- do ya want dat bridge to be two lanes or four lanes?"
You: ("eeezh" emoticon)
Your chat-pal: ROFL!!!

fourgery

A "phony-baloney" document dat is duplicated three times so dat all of da swindled parties get a copy.
Committing a fourgery is doubly dangerous in dat not only are you committing fraud, but if so many different people get to see your worthless-instrument contract-paper, at least one of them may spot some red flag and point it out to each other and/or da authorities, and then you'll be in "quadruple da trouble"!
