abismol

Outrageously mediocre quality, performance, etc. regarding dat yucky pink stomach-elixir dat comes in a triangular bottle.

Da pharmacist at da local drug store assured me dat da "new and improved" Pepto-Bimbo crap would relieve my heartburn and bloating, but so far da results have generally been rather abismol --- I still have about as much cramps and butt-tooting as before!

obsessive compulsive flag-unfurling disorder

Or "OCFUD" for short. Refers to where you absolutely cannot stand to simply walk by a flagstaff where da pennant has become wrapped around da pole or is otherwise not hanging/flapping freely as it's supposed to be; you feel da overwhelming need to reach up and caringly "free da folds" so dat said lovely colorful banner can flutter freely and gloriously proclaim its bold "freedom of expression" message once again.

Why anybody would make an issue about someone's obsessive compulsive flag-unfurling disorder is totally beyond me --- just like "OMLC disorder" (whereby you are unable to resist closing an obviously-hanging-open mailbox-lid on your way by), it would be only common-sense logical to assume dat whoever put up da tangled-up flag would indeed want it to remain "free to flutter" instead of being messily twisted around da flagpole. Plus of course, it's only what YOU'D want OTHERS to do regarding any flag dat YOU YOURSELF had hung, and so you'd be merely following da Golden Rule by performing said Good Samaritan task yourself wif any bunched-up flag dat you see while strolling around town.

STANdard parental-directive

"Stop That Awful Noise!" A "nuclear-level" version of da "first-and-foremost" or "usual" or "most frequently voiced" order --- "Be quiet" --- dat parents give their small children on innumerable occasions.

Lucy van Pelt super-loudly passed along da STANdard parental-directive from her mom --- a gentle request dat she and her visiting friends play their raucously-loud "cowboys and Indians" game more quietly --- to her toddler-brother Linus when he'd merely been shaking his baby-rattle; da joke, of course, was dat (A) da merely-faint sounds dat Linus was making were hardly even audible (especially compared to all of da shrill-'n'-noisy "shoot-'em-up bang" whooping and hollering dat Lucy and her friends had previously been carrying on with), and (B) she herself had absolutely b-e-l-l-o-w-e-d (indicated by a sawtooth-edged word-balloon instead of just a regular smooth words-enclosing line) said command ("Didn't you hear Mother?! STOP THAT AWFUL NOISE!!"), and so she herself was making an infinitely-louder racket than Linus had ever produced.

sadiolus

Oscar the Grouch's flower of choice, since he usually hates to be "glad".

Everyone's favorite green Muppet goes absolutely coo-coo-crazy every spring, what with all da cheery-colorful gladiolus-blooms festooning everyone's front yards and window-boxes on Sesame Street. Then he tempestuously scuttles down to Mr Hooper's store and loudly bawls for sadiolus bulbs, but naturally these plants don't even exist, which of course makes Oscar all the more teeth-gnashingly incensed. Eventually when Maria secretly plants some brilliant-lemon-yellow gladiolus flowers right outside of Oscar's trash can, the blossoms' imperturbably-sunny hue gradually warms Oscar's sulky disposition to the point where he can at least grumblingly tolerate the flowers, and so he is then marginally composed on the subject till next year.

capeability

The level of probable/possible performance possessed by cloak-wearing superheroes like Superman or Batman.

I never could understand why so many famous "good guy" figures wore those long cloaks that conceivably would impede their limbs-and-body movements and thus decrease their capeability to swoop around, engage in swift/strenuous actions, and otherwise fight crime effectively the way they always do.

wreckognition

Grudging acknowledgement regarding someone's klutzy destructive capabilities.

In da Laurel and Hardy comedy-film "Busy Bodies", one whole part of da factory gets totally flattened thanks to Da Boys' outrageously-clumsy floundering; nobody present seemed overly eager to give said bumbling duo much wreckognition in dat regard, though!
