Murphy's Law of stacked boxes

"No matter how storage-containers are arranged in a stack, the one you want will always be on the bottom, and so you'll have to move all of the others first."

Regardless of whether you arrange a stack of boxes in alphabetical/numerical order from top to bottom or bottom to top, Murphy's Law of stacked boxes will always "get you" --- i.e., da box you'll need will always be ether da first or last one, depending on which way you stacked them, and so you'll always need to take them all down to get to da one you need.

tinnytus

An affliction of the ears which causes every sound to seem cheap and metallic.

Besides receiving a heart, Dorothy Gale's sheet-metal lumberjack friend also asked The Great Wizard to install a pair of hearing-devices to cure his inherent tinnytus.

rigger mortise

A severe stiffening/cramping of the joints/muscles suffered by people who attach hoisting-cables for the huge timbers that are used to build old-fashioned post-and-beam ("mortise-and-tenon") structures.

I overdid it while helping my Amish friends do a barn-raising yesterday, and now I have rigger mortise.

masshuggle

Portmanteau of "massage", "hug", and "snuggle", this term refers to when ya lovingly wrap yer arms around yer friend's shoulders, contentedly rest the side of your head against his/her chest and hold him close, and then begin softly kneading/soothing the middle of his/her back with yer palms and fingertips.

Nuthin' quite like sharin' a nice long masshuggle wif dat special someone, either to comfort each other after a long day or "just 'cuz"... extra points if you're both naked, of course, since "naked hugs are the best hugs". Plus it's even more heavenly and fulfilling if ya both remember to keep offering each other yer most choice/soul-soothing body-parts like yer cheeks (both upstairs AND down), forehead, lips (again, upper **and** lower, if you're a gal), chest, palms, soles, etc., so that your cuddle-buddy can constantly "soothe 'n' satisfy" all of his urgent/tearful cravings for your warm softness.

amkneesia

What your leg-joints suffer from sitting/sleeping in a cramped position for too long.

After riding Greyhound all night, I was literally unable to stand up for a while till I'd flexed my legs a lot and therefore "reminded" my leg-joints how to forcibly straighten out and allow me to get to my feet and stand normally again --- major case of amkneesia there!

Joseph Whopner

A famously "tough-but-fair" TV-court judge who really "kicked a**" when it came to laying down da law.

I always believe in liberal leniency when it comes to arbitrating from da bench regarding minor wrongdoings or unintentional/unavoidable violations, but sometimes it takes a real Joseph Whopner to adequately/effectively take hardened criminals and habitual offenders to task for their serious/repeated transgressions.
