Greg or Craig?

What Linda McFly had to ask Big Brother Dave when he protestingly grumbled to her that "although he wasn't her answering service", a guy by one of those two names had called for her a little while earlier. What makes this heartwarmingly-amusing it that before Marty's destiny-altering adventures in 1955, the geeky-looking and bespectacled Linda had been sulkily bemoaning the fact that few boys seemed at all interested in her plain and somewhat-chunky self, she now had so many "cool dude" admirers that there actually **was** a guy named "Greg" AND another guy named "Craig" who would have been equally-likely to phone her up.

It can indeed be wonderful if you actually have so many boyfriends that you hafta ask, "Well, which one was it --- Greg or Craig?" upon being told about a missed phone call, but it can also be a bit difficult and embarrassing if you need to call the name of one of them to a large group of guys hanging out together, since it may cause two or more of said hot hunks to come running to you in response, each thinking you were hollering to him instead of someone else in the group. :P

Ozmosis

Da act of slowly absorbing da content of L. Frank Baum's fairy tales by having said books pressed directly against yer skin for extended periods.

Utilizing Ozmosis to familiarize yourself wif da various fantasies of Dorothy and her many magical friends might indeed be effective, but I would much rather have da enjoyment of reading said delightful adventures in da usual way.

kongregation

A gathering of giant prehistoric primates.

Maybe if the dinosaurs and other prehistoric creatures on Skull Island had held a weekly kongregation, our giant hairy friend wouldn't have been so lonesome for human companionship, and so Ann Darrow and her entourage could have filmed their movie-footage in peace.

prejudas

A stubbornly-held notion or belief dat either there could be traitors among our ranks, or dat every one of our "loyal followers" is automatically above suspicion.

Indiana Jones's two Peruvian guides hoped dat their "señor" client had sufficient prejudas in their favor dat he would trust them to be honest and honorable, whereas in truth they were both traitorous thieves who were each plotting to steal da idol for themselves.

relizardgion

The belief that lizard-people run the world (a nod of thanks to Simon Whistler from YouTube for his inadvertently giving me this idea by speaking of lizard-people and then in his next breath quipping that "considering how many people actually believe this, perhaps they should start their own religion").

The reason that relizardgion is so difficult to dismiss/disprove is that there are so many horridly-wrinkly and ugly people around that they can indeed have only descended from lizards, just like evolution is so difficult to dismiss because so many humans act so "crude 'n' primitive" that those particular individuals must indeed have descended from apes. :P
