GOPtimistic

Feeling confident dat da Republicans will prevail in a vote, win da election, etc.
If you're overly GOPtimistic, it likely means dat either you don't see da "elephant in da room", or you've ignored a "white elephant" dat is gonna inconveniently/embarrassingly "rear its trunk" sometime in da not-too-distant future.

stencil-strength

Refers to da durability/longevity of da oilboard material used to make spray-paint symbols.
I never purchase "bargain-basement" lettering--kits, since I find that they are usually sorely lacking in stencil-strength... sure, the "pro-grade" kits do indeed cost more, but they tend to last a lot longer and consistently produce sharp-edged paint-markings for many years.

outterview

Da opposite of a "mike and camera shoved in yer face" paparazzi-encounter, dis type of "meet da press" event merely involves said pushy reporters' observing you from a distance, plus taking photos of your wardrobe, da exterior of your house and/or vehicle, etc.
In da infamous-and-downright-frightening "long-term squatter charging da lenses with a splitting maul" scenario, said aggressive assaulter apparently didn't even want an "outterview" in dat he became enraged by da reporters' merely speaking to him on da lawn, not with them entering/occupying some walled enclosure such as da house or da cab of his truck (if said vehicle was also even his to use --- maybe he was invalidly possessing it, as well).

read up on it

What you may literally hafta do if you wanna learn Chinese --- some of their text is arranged in a vertical column that hasta be scanned from the bottom to the top in order to decipher it. Makes ya wonder how the Chinese don't get sore necks from all dat bobble-headed noddin' they do whenever they sit down to read da mornin' paper.
Learning how to make sense of all that fancy vertical signage in Chinatown is fairly simple --- just read up on it.

makover

Da "rearranging of yer bodily features" dat will likely occur if you decide to swim with sharks.
Da ditzy dictionary-reading blonde in da "dolphins" Vonage ad never realized dat she might be headed for a major makover due to her "stupid decision" --- too bad she hadn't reached da word "shark" in her reference-book there. :P

hand-stack

A playful "being sociable" game where ya "layeringly" stack up yer hands with those of one or more friends, then ya yank yer "bottom" hand out from da pile and place it on top of da stack of hands, then the next person yanks his hand out from da bottom of da stack and places it on top, and so on.
I love playing circle of friends wif all da pretty girls I meet in da town square, but if we have da use of a picnic table or other elevated flat surface, I also enjoy sharing a round or two of hand-stack wif da cuties afterwards --- nuthin' quite so good at bringing da delighted/amused giggles outta dem.

Edward Snowed-in

Ex-CIA dude who cited "cabin fever" as his excuse for committing espionage.
Sounds like using pathetic/laughable excuses for supposedly justifying/forgiving serious crimes is becoming a trend --- first there was Ethan Couch with his "affluenza" defense, then Edward Snowed-in's whining about "cabin fever"... what's next???
