morebid fascination

An abnormal/unwholesome interest in watching people try to top each other with ever-increasing purchase-price offers at an auction.

In da 1935 Laurel & Hardy comedy film, "Thicker Than Water", Laurel appears to suddenly develop a morebid fascination with seeing da value of da grandfather clock increase, in dat he starts cluelessly shouting competing offers with Hardy.

askevision

Your parents whom you'd request clarification of stuff you'd seen on da boob tube.

I quickly learned not to use my mom or dad as an askevision, since they would usually be horrified at what da kiddie-channel sensors had allowed to slip through for my tender eyes/ears to see on dat particular show, and so they would flatly forbid me from watching said show ever again. So I just allowed my puzzlements to languish rather than risking asking my parents about them, or else I would have eventually had no even-mildly-entertaining shows at all that I was allowed to watch!

mowbility

Da degree of movement dat one can manage when cutting da lawn.

Now dat garden tractors have become a fairly common household implement, da problems of mowbility can be a lot less problematic, in dat even a moderately-disabled homeowner can often operate said small machines, since about all dat one needs to do is merely sit on a seat and manipulate a steering wheel and few pedals.

pitential

Da capability dat Mike Mulligan tested his steam shovel Mary Anne on when he dug da cellar for da new Popperville town hall.

Mary Anne had amazing pitential --- she could dig as much in one day as a hundred men could dig in a week.

Nemotional

The status of being all choked up and teary-eyed while/after watching Pixar's famous animated "fish story" movie from 2003.

The highest-grossing animated film of the early 2000's is indeed a very touching tale of love, loyalty, and family values, so I suppose that it might indeed be natural for some viewers to get a little Nemotional over it.

entrepeigneur

A "breaking new ground" businessperson who conducts said speculatory/exploratory endeavors in da region of a certain infamous "sinkhole" lake in Southern Louisiana.

Texaco was surely being a dangerously-irresponsible entrepeigneur when they tried drilling into da floor of da lake without proper surveyor-triangulation --- thanks to said faulty boring-hole locating, they ended up piercing da roof of a huge salt-mine and thus majorly "poppin' da bathtub's drain-plug", with disastrous results! Not only did da fresh water from da entire lake disappear, but da Gulf of Mexico's water then flooded inland to fill da resulting void, and so da lake is now a briny mess dat cannot support much of da wildlife dat had formerly flourished there!
