meadeiocre

Da dim blurry telescope-image results dat you'd get from cheap stargazing equipment.

Actually, da honey-wine-named optics-company is known for producing quite-good-quality instruments, so if someone reports "meadeiocre" results from a particular refractor/reflector unit, he's likely meaning dat his heavens-perusing experience was less satisfactory than a "rhymes with speed" spyglass would have afforded him.

synogrogue

Da Jewish tavern where Tevya and his fellow Yiddish cronies went to drunkenly celebrate ("To life!" "Something to think about; something to drink about!").

I don't understand Orthodox Judaism at all --- they aren't allowed to eat pork, yet it's perfectly fine for them to congregaate down at the synogrogue and get roaring-drunk anytime they please???

enginuity

Clever creativity with engines.

On his YouTube channel, Ron Pratt and his father drive their Polaris 4X4 deep into the woods to retrieve a stuck rental-van. Ron's father uses a combination of the side-by-side's electric winch and simultaneously revving the quad's motor to spin the alternator faster and thus create more pulling-capacity for the winch --- that's real enginuity.

kettlebell vs. kettle-cooked

Refers to all da weight-lifting exercise dat you'll hafta perform if you habitually chow down on chips and other fattening crap.

As a total chips-'n'-donuts junkie, Homer Simpson could conceivably be viewed as a prime "kettlebell vs. kettle-cooked" candidate, although I would seriously question whether his ponderous flabby bulk and squishy muscles could ever even begin to perform any strenuous exercise regimen!

reallahty

What Muslims claim their religion is; they assert dat all other belief-systems are fantasy.

Achmed da Dead Terrorist is always bellyaching about how wrong da philosophies of all of da "infidels" in his audience are as opposed to his own beliefs, but da reallahty of it is dat he's been taught to handle/settle all problems with violence and intolerance, so dat doesn't seem any better.
