phase-locked loop

Refers to an unfortunate situation where someone who had begun exhibiting undesirable behavior that others had initially assumed was his "just going through a phase" actually does **not** eventually "taper off", but continues to display said distressing attitude/actions.
My teenage son started being really rude and mouthy at age 12, and our pediatrician had assured me that it was "merely a stage he was going through", and that "he'd outgrow it eventually". Well, that was over six years ago, and if anything the boy's behavior is even more sulkily-resentful and anti-social than ever --- looks like a phase-locked loop to me!

Curtisy desk

The customer-service counter staffed by Santa’s head elf during the period while Jack Frost had taken over --- and shamelessly commercialized --- the North Pole due to the screwed-up "Santa clause".
Scott Calvin: I tried going to the Curtisy desk to get my Santa status back, but the head elf was totally under Jack Frost's "corporate life" influence, and so he didn't know how to help me; I had to resort to more outrageous measures to regain my rightful "throne".

Talko Bell

A "dieting" restaurant-chain where they serve you more "food for thought" --- i.e., interesting speeches --- than actual tummy-filling munchies.
Participating in da motor-mouthed activities at Talko Bell might indeed help you to cut back on meal-sizes, since you wouldn't have da chance to take bites of food very often, anyway.

callege

A university where either you feel so homesick dat you "go E.T." at every chance ya get, or they let you make free telephone calls as a perk for attending.
Since inexpensive cell phones and budget usage-plans are da norm these days, da concept of a "callege" is not such a big deal anymore, since you can now "phone home" whenever you want, and for little or no cost, as well.

semenental value

Treasured or revered for its ability to fertilize the egg of a female, or in memory of said ability.
Lewis and Clark brought along a large muscular African-American fellow as one of their traveling-party on their expedition out West, and said chocolate-skinned behemoth proved to be of great semenental value to the group in many of the Native villages that they passed through --- wherever they stopped, multiple squaws would often literally line up to be impregnated by said husky and virile dude, in hopes of raising huge strong-bodied sons of their own from this "fresh blood" infusion.

television ceres

A sequence of documentary programs about da famous Roman goddess of grain-crops and fertility.
If you find ancient mythology boring but wanna be tolerant of a loved-one's interest in an in-depth television CERES, eating tasty CEREAL while companion-watching said detailed content might make said undertaking a bit more palatable.

IRSIS

Da terrorist-run branch of da US government dat extorts usurious income taxes from poor and middle-class folks, while letting rich bugs go almost entirely tax-free.
With all da unequal distribution of wealth dat da IRSIS creates, we need more Robin-Hood-type folks to help even out da playing field a bit!
