craveat emptor

"Let da buyer of a neck-cloth beware."
Da term "craveat emptor" can refer to da risk of either (1) someone's purchasing an inferior-quality dress-up accessory, or (2) --- as in da case of da King and Duke in "Huckleberry Finn" --- said purchaser's having said decorative garment used for a very-different and much-less-undesirable application during a "necktie-party" --- i.e., a lynching.

ohmission

A failure-to-act event regarding electrical resistance of some kind.
One should always check a new anti-static wrist-strap to make sure dat da manufacturer remembered to put in da resistor on da grounding-wire --- an ohmission of dis vital component would likely create a nasty spark-discharge shock through both your sensitive wrist and any static-sensitive component dat you're trying to protect wif said strap!

propiety

Da bible-thumpers' assorted "sniffy 'n' stuffy" rules regarding acceptable dress/behavior.
Many dishonest or hypocritical folks are outwardly devout and church-going, but that hardly makes them very good examples of propiety!

Bucking Bronco

What da infamous "Premium Concentrated Lettuce" was riding in during da famous low-speed chase through L.A.
Da vehicle transporting "Orange Is Da New Black" could be termed a "bucking bronco" because (A) his act of running from da cops was "bucking authority", and (B) it was a classic small-size tin-cube vehicle made by Big Blue Oval (duhhhh...).

calmpatible

A "cool 'n' composed" style of personality-meshing.
Tiffany appreciates me for who I am and how well I treat her, and so she always feels placidly serene in my presense --- we're definitely calmpatible.

Keebler Pass

A mountainous area in Colorado where tasty confectionery snacks come from.
Disappointed third-grader: Blast it all --- here I thought our vacation in Keebler Pass was gonna be a Wonka's-chocolate-factory type of adventure... a tour of a place where the entire landscape was made from sweet candy and crunchy baked flour! Little did I know that it was just a bunch of boring inedible ROCKS that I hadda laboriously clamber over!

morning wood

What Pinocchio no longer had to contend with after becoming a real boy.
Actually, it would likely have been da other way around --- having no flesh or blood, everyone's favorite puppet most likely could not have gotten a hard-on even if he'd wanted one, plus da elderly carver Geppetto very likely didn't even give Pinocchio a "woodpecker" in da first place. After he became a real boy and was overjoyed to be able to wake up and see his own supple flesh instead of just dense dry tree-fiber, however, he would have also gained all of his "normal male human" bodily organs, and so he might indeed have had to deal with embarrassing "morning wood", especially in a few years when he became a teenager.
