hem-lock

A fabric-securing device to keep lecherous dudes from peeping up yer skirt.

When Mrs. Hart Berg was taken up in an airplane by Wilbur Wright, she had used a hem-lock ti maintain her modesty --- i.e., she'd tied her skirt with a rope to keep it from "revealingly" billowing during the windy journey. This prompted the hobble-skirt to be invented.

Murphy's Law Of Windshield-Damage

"You can leave a pitted/abraded/scratched/bubbled/discolored windshield in your car till 0%!$@&# Doomsday and it will never get hit, but then just as soon as you actually REPLACE said "ancient" glass wif a brand new one, THAT'S when you'll get a bleepin' BIG OL' PEBBLE tossed up by a passing vehicle, and star-crack your nice shiny-fresh windshield all to Hell!"

After several years I eventually got sick and tired of all da misty triplex-haze on my car's original-from-the-factory windshield, and so I finally replaced it --- wouldn't you know that the VERY NEXT DAY it got a huge crack in it after a rock got thrown up by the wheel of a passing dump-truck! Ahhhhrrrggggghhhhh... classic case of Murphy's Law Of Windshield-Damage, I guess!!

calamourty

An exceedingly-unfortunate event dat is also noisy.

Judging by how much of a ruckus he kicked up about it, Ethan Couch's super-indulgent father apparently considered da school's merely insisting dat his "little prince" behave in a socially-responsible manner to be a real calamourty, actually offering to buy da entire school just so dat it could be run da way dat HE and his spoiled-rotten-with-feelings-of-false-entitlement son wanted. :P

Adrienaline rush

Da energizing "second wind" dat you get from watching "Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug & Cat Noir" cartoons.

I'm not much into animation, so I would not likely get an "Adrienaline rush" from partaking of Saturday-morning cartoons. I do always get a rejuvenating buzz, however, whenever I spend time wif my middle-aged-fisherman buddy Adrien, since he is always jovial and pleasant to me.

just in the nicotime

Refers to when you were able to partake of a Winston or Marlboro at da very last moment before you "cracked" emotionally, passed out, etc.

I avoid tobacco or any other addictive chemicals, so hopefully I should never have any "just in the nicotime" incidents, such as having to remain in a no-smoking area for a longer period than a "hooked" individual would normally go between cigarettes.

Klondike bar floozie

Not to be confused with a bar floozie (a "loose" female who hangs around a bar waiting for some hot young stud to pick her up), this term refers to an equally "loose" gal with such a sweet tooth that she is NEVER "ashamed of what she done for a Klondike bar".

A Klondike bar floozie seldom has to buy her own ice cream sandwiches during the summertime; she just hangs around the supermarket parking lot and watches for hot young hunks who are heading to their vehicles with bulging shopping bags full of Klondike bars, and then hurries over and offers them a little touchy-feely/nookie-wookie in exchange for one of the scrumptious frozen treats.

shenannygans

What Fran Fine performed many times throughout da television series.

A girl in my class likes to talk in a nasally hoarsely-squeaky voice when answering our teacher's test-questions; said long-suffering educator isn't overly amused by said vocal shenannygans, but our fellow students always find it hilarious.
