QuacksO's definitions

mudderator

Da head honcho at a monster truck competition.

One advantage of being a mudderator is dat you get to stand high up on da announcer's platform instead of down on ground-level where all da action is, and so you generally can keep your clothes clean.

twitness

An observer of an event who's too much of a wimp to be of significant help or provide much in da way of meaningful information.

Biff Tannen had originally viewed George McFly as merely a "twitness", and so he didn't worry about bullying him or openly committing crimes in his presence. Once Marty appeared in da picture, however, George started standing up for himself a lot more, causing his acridly-surnamed nemesis to start thinking twice about pulling stuff on him.

lejittermate

Describes something dat is indeed "da real McCoy", but makes people shaky 'n' quaky if they associate with it.

Some people have such super-strong feelings regarding religion dat they can even get violent or obnoxious when discussing/debating it, so it can be a really lejittermate topic to delve into very deeply.

Silver plates?!

What you pretend-irritably toss back at present company when he "foreign languages you" with a casual request for or an acknowledgment of your assistance. (Obviously this would not be da case wif Gomez Addams, though, since he actually ENJOYS when Morticia speaks French, and so he would never feel irritable or resentful if she uttered thus to him.)

Person A, collecting small dropped objects from a pebbly beach, and passing them one-by-one to Person B to hold for him: S'il vous plait?
Person B, obligingly accepting said items from Person A, but feeling a bit disgusted at seemingly being utilized as merely a portable storage-unit: Silver plates?!

shrekcommendation

A positive product/service-review created by everyone's favorite green-skinned ogre with funnel-shaped ears.

Donkey originally received da shrekcommendation dat he hightail it 'cuz da ogre thought himself as being unfriendly, but Donkey saw right through dat incorrect self-assumption, realizing dat said currently-stressed-out swamp-creature was actually a kind-natured softy at heart.

Adair you to keep a straight face

What you jokingly say to someone as you're turning off da Iowa interstate to show him da famous sunshine-yellow water-tower wif da smileyfaces painted on it.

Tour bus driver, smilingly speaking to his passengers over the PA system as he's pulling off I-80 at Exit 76: Okay, Folks --- here we are at "the happiest town on Earth" --- Adair you to keep a straight face when you see their water-tower!

progressively sociable

Refers to an "incrementally moving up the scale" degree of "closeness" --- i.e., gently 'n' gradually narrowing the "aura" of personal space --- between yourself and someone else, till you've eventually proceeded from merely sitting across from the person all the way up to being either tightly wrapped around him or bodily plastered overtop of him on the bed/couch or on the grass in your back yard.

My neighbor's furry black Lab realized that I was getting bored and lonesome while I was sitting in the front yard to wait for his master to get home, and so he sympathetically performed the classic friendly-canine "progressively sociable" routine on me --- first sitting at my feet and letting me smooth his forehead and riffle his fluffy ears, then scooching forward a bit and placing his front paws on my shoe-lacings, then gently nudging my chest backwards with his head so that he could move his paws up onto my shins, then easing on up even closer to me so that I'd slide my legs down flat and he could rest his paws on my kneecaps, then moving up further to place his paws on my hips, then again using his head to softly lean me even further back, and so on --- till he had me totally lying flat on my back and he had fully stretched out and settled himself on top of me. Kinda weird --- not to mention heavy --- having a huge fuzzy 90-pound dog resting peaceably on top of me, but I realized he meant well, and that he was merely trying to ensure that I didn't feel quite so lonely from waiting till his master got back.
