doffender 

A "gentleman bandit" --- i.e., one who is super-courteous and tips his fedora when committing his crimes.

At da end of "Tom Sawyer", Tom tells Huck about how robbers are da ultimate "doffenders" --- "Robbers are the most polite folks in the world, especially to the women --- they always take off their hats and talk polite."

ostrasize 

To give someone da cold shoulder merely because his hoo-haw has unimpressive dimensions.

Occasionally a person of either gender with excessive bulk and poundage could be viewed as being too "big" by fitter folks and thus might be "ostrasized", as well, just as someone of da male persuasion who is supposedly not "big" enough sometimes is.

Freakenstein 

What da Good Doctor's creation actually turned out to be.

Da term "Freakenstein" could also refer to someone who's totally obsessed wif Mary Shelley's famous "undead" character, and so he compulsively collects used copies of da book at yard sales, buys "da monster"-themed t-shirts and other memorabilia, etc.

beneviolent 

Describes someone who acts all warm and pleasant, but who would stab you in da back just as casually/easily as he'd "order up eggs" as Huck Finn said about one or more brutal-minded kings of yore.

Da infamous Claudius in da Shakespeare play "Hamlet" was an excellent example of a "beneviolent" individual --- as Hamlet grumbles, "One may smile and smile and smile and be a villain".

stick-figure embrace 

Refers to da playful "arms held out wide 'n' to da side" gesture dat two super-sociable people beamingly display prior to giving each other a big ol' squeezy.

Offering a small child a stick-figure embrace is often an awesome way to make him feel less bashful and more comfy wif engaging in a "round of lovies" wif you --- often da attention-loving child will just gleefully rush in and snuggle up against you without really thinking too much about it.

marjority 

Da bulk of da ladies in a particular area named Marjorie.

More ladies whose first names sound like dat of Homer Simpson's wife spell their names wif a "ge" and wif a "y" at da end, so there would not likely be a significant marjority in any given area.

constubble 

A member of da "prim-'n'-proper police" who goes sniffing around to make sure dat every dude in da precinct has shaved his face smooth.

I went to da Seashore Trolley Museum in Kennebunkport, Maine one day without bothering to "mow da lawn", figgering dat said establishment is such an informal place dat nobody would mind or even notice all dat much if I had a slightly whiskery chin. And sure enough, not only did I receive no disapproving frowns or stares from da staffpeople, but I was highly amused --- and relieved --- to observe dat every single father in da various families of young children who were also touring da museum and riding on da streetcars ALSO had a day-old, so obviously there were indeed no constubbles roaming around to wag their disapproving fingers at anyone.
