standuation

A locale or conundrum dat obliges you to remain on yer feet instead of planting yer butt. A SITuation is usually easier to deal wif no what da delay is, in dat at least your legs and feet won't get tired and sore while you're waiting for said cranky conditions to resolve themselves.

Elderly folks wif mobility issues should ask for a wheeled walker wif a seat, so as not to run into any unforeseen standuations.

ryeder-bill

A bootleg-liquor-related addendum-submission dat is surreptitiously slipped in along with a proposed law or rule for consideration by Congress or da President.

During Prohibition, it seems likely dat lots of ryeder-bills were sneaked into da House and Senate with da hope of their being unwittingly approved without being noticed too much.

Kineticut

Da tiny southern-New-England state dat was politically established with lots of frenzied arm-waving and vigorous leaping about by its founders.

I never could understand why da founders of Kineticut spent so much time and energy on frenetic gymnastics --- why didn't they just "connect da cut" and be done wif it?!???

summerize

To gradually prepare yourself for the warmer sunnier months, such as gently "breaking in" your complexion for tanning without peeling.

Initially I wear my white sunhat all the time whenever I go outdoors in late Spring so that my "chrome dome" doesn't get sunburned, but then as the days get even warmer, I alternately take off the hat and then put it back on a few minutes later, in an effort to summerize my scalp; eventually when I get a fairly even tan "up there", I can leave my hat off for hours at a time without excessive reddening.

jeannieus

A really smart/clever/learned lady named Jeannie.

The word "jeannieus" is totally fine all on its own, but a similarly-spelled word can refer to a different type of superior intellect or capability --- if a guy is a "jeanius", it means that he is an expert at sweet-talking a hot chick into letting him get in her pants.

alligation

An assertion dat labels you as nuthin' but a slinking toothy reptile.

Lyle Crocodile suffered a lot of untrue alligations due to prejudiced folks' just automatically assuming dat he was a fearsome savage people-eater.
