9,1,1-Trichloroethane

Sarcastic term used for any toxic compound, often spoken in an anxious/alarmed tone of voice to indicate the speaker's horror or distress at even the thought/possibility of said chemical being used, and implying to any listeners that he fears that the use of said chemical might very likely necessitate calling 911.

Homeowner: Now, wait a sec --- I got toddlers and pets, remember! You’re not gonna use some kinda dangerous 9,1,1-Trichloroethane-crap on my floor, are you?
Carpet-cleaning service guy: Oh, no, Ma'am --- this is all environmentally-friendly detergent --- 100% natural and biodegradable ingredients.

Adderondacks

A snake-infested heap of hills in Upstate New York.

Indiana Jones' secret fear is long slithering hissing creatures with fangs and forked tongues, so he would not likely wanna go hiking in da Adderondacks!

gratis glance

Da brief inspection/diagnosis dat yer local repair-person may perform on your mildly-malfunctioning equipment for free, if you ask him reeeeeaaaalllyyyy nicely.

If you either purchased da not-working-quite-right device at da same "sales 'n' service" shop from where you're requesting da help wif said cranky contraption, or you do a good amount of business at said establishment anyway, da staffpeople there may be a lot more willing to favor you wif a "gratis glance", since you'll already be a "preferred customer" whom they want to keep happy.

peniscillin

What a horny stud claims dat his love-juice is composed of if da chick whom he wants to copulate with says dat she doesn't feel well enough at da time to have sex.

Some antibiotics can be administered orally, so maybe you could give your gentleman-friend a blowjob and thus receive your dose of "peniscillin" dat way, even if you feel too yucky right then to let him in your pants.

staff infection

A contagion-caused illness transmitted to you by the personnel at a business-establishment.

Harry claims to have gotten a staff infection at the hospital, but I can't see how that could be --- all the workers there are very careful about germs, so it seems unlikely that he would have caught any illnesses from them. Plus he's such an ugly and obnoxious-natured dude that I seriously doubt that any of the female nurses would have wanted to have sex with him.

of modest morals

A "soft" way of saying dat da referred-to individual is a crooked a**h**e who doesn't give a you-know-what about honestly or integrity, or about how his shamelessly-self-serving actions might harm fellow humans or da environment/economy in general.

Examples of public figures who turned out to be "of modest morals" would be "Tricky Dicky" with Watergate, and Kellyanne Conway with her infamous "alternative facts" claim.

bullyache

To whine in an aggressively-manipulative manner to try to pressure others to do your bidding.

The local rioffraff can bullyache to me all they want about needing emergency cash for some family-crisis --- I am NOT shelling out my hard-earned money just so that they can get their drugs or go on shopping-sprees!
