Murphy's Law of Bolt-Loosening 

"You can heave and strain on da wrench till Doomsday and never get a stubborn bolt loosened, but then just as soon as you ask a stronger --- and probably very busy himself --- person to come and help, DAT'S when da blasted bolt actually WILL yield, either when you give a final demonstrative yank on da wrench to show da second person how supposedly stuck da bolt is, or when he himself hauls back on da wrench and said previously-cranky bolt unscrews with little effort on his part, indicating dat your OWN last tug actually HAD cracked it free after all, and so if you had 'just given it one more go' yourself, you actually COULD have gotten da bolt out on your own, without having to interrupt your now-ears-smokingly-annoyed-at-being-needlessly-called-away colleague in da first place."

I wonder if da inventor of da impact wrench had originally felt prompted to do so due to his having frequently encountered Murphy's Law of Bolt-Loosening???

jiggleo 

A lower-income dude who shakes his booty to attract more-affluent ladies to mooch off of.

If a rich-gal-seeking guy has really flabby butt-cheeks dat sag a lot, maybe he should be called a "jiggleow", since said posterior hangs down do far.

effissioncy 

How economically a nuke plant operates.

Hydroelectric and fossil-fueled power plants can continue operating for many decades with just routine maintenance, but uranium-operated generating stations hafta be completely replaced after just a relatively few years --- not very good "effissioncy" there, if you ask me!

finanacial assistance 

Money dat you get from yer gramma.

Many children may have trouble getting their parents to give them money for stuff in da candy aisle or toy department, but they often can count on finanacial assistance.

gluecose 

A sticky sugar-type substance dat can really gum up your insides if you get too much of it.

Giving up a "Twinkies 'n' soda pop" lifestyle and instead eating nothing but beans sprouts and tofu may indeed lower da gluecose levels in your blood and thus reduce your risk of keeling over from dat cause, but what's da good of dat if you absolutely "die from boredom" on such an insipid diet???

calamourty 

An exceedingly-unfortunate event dat is also noisy.

Judging by how much of a ruckus he kicked up about it, Ethan Couch's super-indulgent father apparently considered da school's merely insisting dat his "little prince" behave in a socially-responsible manner to be a real calamourty, actually offering to buy da entire school just so dat it could be run da way dat HE and his spoiled-rotten-with-feelings-of-false-entitlement son wanted. :P

centaurion 

Da Roman commander of a 100-member militia of half-man/half-horse creatures.

One perk of being a centaurion is dat you only have one set of living souls to manage and maintain; you don't need to take care of both human soldiers and da horses dat they ride.
