heckonomics

Da study of how much da use of profanity-euphemisms affects one's bottom line.
Mild shock-value may indeed make people take notice of your place of business, but one should definitely consult a heckonomics expert before deciding whether to go dat route in an attempt to boost sales.

Tippycanoe

Nickname for a U.S. president who was on very "unstable" political turf, and thus he should be very careful not to "male waves" in Congress.
President John Tyler was a staunch supporter of slavery which any reasonable-minded citizen would oppose, so it's no wonder that he had a really Tippycanoe dude as a running-mate.

Tippycanoe

Refers to da "wobbly" footing dat U.S. Prez Harrison experienced during his term in office.
Both "Da Great W.H." and his grandson Ben were very unpopular as American presidents, so it appears dat da former's "Tippycanoe" status lived on in future generations!

capitol punishment

The premature termination of life that Abraham Lincoln, James Garfield, William McKinley, and John F. Kennedy received as a "penalty for their crime" of merely being the current U.S. President.
My favorite "capitol punishment" joke is "So aside from the ending, Mrs. Lincoln, how did you like the play?"

tsuenami

A sudden and widespread "firestorm" of cash-seeking litigation following a major disturbance in the political/social/economic "weather".
Once it is shown that a certain medication or other publicly-distributed product is unsafe or not properly tested, it generally sparks a veritable tsuenami of court-cases.

external-combustion engine

A fluid-fuel-powered motor that is so poorly designed/maintained that its exterior actually catches fire.
One should periodically check "under the hood" for oil-leaks to reduce the chance of said power-plant's becoming an external-combustion engine.
