Juneday

A more-urgent/serious call for help than da one named after da previous month.

Rescue workers should try to respond immediately to a "Mayday" call, so dat whatever emergency exits at dat time doesn't progress into a "Juneday" hazard dat may be significantly more dangerous and/or difficult to alleviate.

sensorship

Refers to two different restrictive-oversight-related concepts:
(1) da act of being super-noticing of any sign of censoring, or
(2) da act of limiting what warning-signals are sent by a sensor.

Even if said info was unwelcome or inconvenient, I would ALWAYS wanna know if something's getting too hot in my engine, what my oil-pressure is, how much air is getting to da combustion chambers, etc... no "sensorship" for me, thank you very much!

Alan Greenspam

The former head of the Federal Anti-junk-e-mail Administration. We all sorely miss him.

Ever since the ultra-capable Alan Greenspam retired, everyone's e-mail inboxes have been flooded with unheard-of levels of junk mail, despite massive blocking and repeated spam-filter upgrades.

hissterectomy

A surgical operation on a female snake when she doesn't want any more babies.

Apparently snake venom is an effective means to neutralize sperm, so I wonder if a female could use it as a "hissterectomy"?

distinktion

A detectable difference between two offensive odors.

Greed or arrogance may indeed be different motivators for causing da bu**s**t to hit da fan, but da messy end-result of widespread putridity is usually about da same in either case, so I fail to see any meaningful distinktion.
