spasmodic dysphobia

Weird-sounding speech-impediment that causes periodic bouts of uncaring behavior towards fellow humans.
Maine Congresswoman Susan Collins is apparently no longer "the people's senator" (if she even actually WAS ever for us to begin with, which is doubtful!) --- she takes big money from mega-biz interests, votes against the basic interests of "the little guy", and to top it all off, she TALKS FUNNY! Sounds like a classic case of spasmodic dysphobia to me.

dual-clutch transmission

A 2-way radio message sent using a notoriously-problematic microphone which requires its operater to tightly grip/squeeze the "push-to-talk" button-lever with both hands to get it to work.
I hear that Ford is gonna be recalling a whole bunch more defective CBs that came with their new vehicles due to dual-clutch transmission issues.

skituation

A debacle regarding da subject-matter of an impromptu stage-production.
I was gonna volunteer to oversee da local youth-acting class, but then da former group-leader told me about all da assorted headaches involved with said undertaking, so I decided I didn't wanna be in dat skituation.

bronchial b.s.

Any of the loud offensive throat-sounds made by the respiratory and/or digestive system, such as belches, retches, wheezes, etc.
John went through a long litany of rough/distressed sounds from his throat and lungs, but I think it was just a lot of bronchial b.s. designed to change the subject so that he wouldn't hafta answer embarrassing/difficult questions.

PALimony

A monthly bribe dat you hafta pay a shamelessly-opportunistic techno-geek for him to let you use his special universal-playback VCR to watch your UK-formatted VHS videotapes.
I always make standard NTSC-formatted DVD copies of foreign-encoded videotapes so that I can keep my PALimony payments to a minimum.

craptsmanship

Da degree of either:
(1) how good someone is at pawning off lousy-quality merchandise, or

(2) how skilled someone is at "beating da house".
In da 1924 Will Rogers classic, "A Truthful Liar", ambassador Doolittle claims to have had excellent "craptsmanship" by scoring an impressive windfall when playing cards with the King, but his fellow townspeople dismissively wave off his tale as hogwash, and so perhaps said questionable story lacked "craptsmanship" in dat it failed to convince its audience.

hospicetality

Welcoming/attentive treatment from assisted-living caretakers.
We're taught to respect our elders, so that should include providing exceptional hospicetality when necessary.
