ellendegeneration

The most recent crop of humans who have been apathetically corrupted by watching petty-sensational-BS talk-shows on cable.
Old fogy: I can't believe what horrid selfish lazy crap comes outta the mouths of the ellendegeneration these days... why, when I was a child, we had to blaw, blaw, blah, blah...

sciontific study

Research involving grafted plant-fragments.
If someone messes with your pure-bred plants and thus creates "mongrel" offspring, you may need to perform sciontific study to identify da culprit.

"alternatives"-ad fury

The near-maniacal rage you feel when an online vendor/advertiser off-handedly remarks that a desired product/content is no longer offered/available, and then adds insult to injury by cheerfully cajoling, "But no worries --- check out some of our other awesome products/services, like these!", causing you to just wanna smash yer fist right through the screen in resentful frustration, since whatever "substitute" profferings they are showing you have virtually no resemblance whatever to what you were looking for and would certainly not be anywhere near as satisfying; it's almost like they're presuming to imply that THEY know more about what YOU want than YOU do YOURSELF!
Counsellor, sympathetically consoling a late-teens client who is practically climbing the walls in tearful frustration from having been cheekily offered "Super Mario" by an online-gaming website when he'd wanted to play a round of "Spy Hunter Classic" after a long day at high school, just as he'd been doing every evening for the past two years: Ah-haa --- sounds to me like a classic case of "alternatives"-ad fury --- I so totally "get ya", Young Man, and I don't blame ya one bit for feeling this way... a lot of companies sure don't consider what their customers truly want whenever they"update" their offerings, do they? Reminds me of a couple of local radio stations back when I was around your age --- all of a sudden they stopped playing their traditional soothing '60's 'n' '70's easy-listening music in favor of pop-bop and country-crap --- a LOT of adult-listeners were REALLY bummed out about that! Why, I myself STILL sorely miss that wonderful music almost thirty years later!

superseed

To sew a plot of farmland for a crop dat's different from what had been grown there before.
One should always rotate crops for best soil-health; each year's planting should superseed da previous one.

trickologist

A shady magician who moonlights as a hair-and-scalp specialist.
Many a trickologist falsely claims to know how to make your hair grow "like magic".

pennyroill

A fragrant herb, the leaves of which are used for medicinal purposes; the fibers from the stems are processed to make special red-paper "50¢" sleeves for bundling copper coins.
I'm not much into herbal medicine, but I do always get a kick out of how the coin-sleeves made from pennyroill fibre stay folded and secure after I fill them with coins and tuck the ends in.

purseverance

Refers to an unwillingness to give up on your efforts to mooch off of someone (in other words, to get him to "open his purse" for you).
Sometimes the term "purseverance" can have a somewhat opposite meaning, as well --- it can also refer to the ongoing efforts that an overly-trusting person who actually HAS "opened his purse" to a neighborhood moocher feels compelled to maintain in an attempt to get said deadbeat to pay him back as he'd promised he would.
