geckonomics

Da study of da financial status of da nationally-advertised insurance company featuring dat tiny green reptile spokesman wif a weird Cockney accent.
Maybe signing up for a certain company's insurance online is so easy dat a caveman could do it, but finding out da geckonomics of said insurance company might be a bit more difficult and complicated.

cowardenation

A cooperative association among a number of law-enforcement officials.
One of the main causes of widespread animal-poaching is a lack of cowardenation among manpower across the affected areas.

platonic bridge-salesman

A crafty smooth-talker dude who initially claims to just want a "first base" friendship with a lady, but in reality is merely using this assertion as an "opener" to eventually getting into her pants.
Hot chick: Brandon claimed he just wants to take me for strolls hand-in-hand... yeah, right... sounds like da classic "platonic bridge-salesman" pitch to me --- I've seen how he looks at me whenever I wear a swimsuit or a sun-dress!

pull a Knievel

To unexpectedly keep a promise, such as to show up for a date/appointment, attend a boring business meeting, pay a debt, or otherwise honor a spoken agreement which the speaker did not anticipate being fulfilled. Is a nod to the famous motorcycle daredevil who prided himself on always keeping his word, no matter what the difficulties or risks.
My buddy had asked me last night if I wanted to go fishing today, but it had dawned kinda damp and blustery, so I’d figured I could just sleep in. Little did I know --- that dude decided to pull a Knievel on me and showed up after all!

pencil-eraser etiquette

Refers to the (unfortunately very-seldom-practiced!) consideration of using a separate hand-held rubber eraser --- or at least to slip on one of those much-longer-lasting wedge-shaped "supplementary" eraser-caps if you know you'll be doing a lot or error-expunging --- to clean most of your mistakes instead of just mindlessly consuming your pencil's minuscule built-in eraser, so that you don't wear da entire 0%!$&#@ eraser clear down to the metal ferrule before the pencil's even been "sharpened away" much at all, causing any unfortunate person who subsequently attempts to use said pencil to not have any eraser left for "emergency" erasures (i.e., where he needs to make a quick correction in a tense/flurried situation, like trying to hastily jot down a phone number or address, or to quickly fill out a form where neatness is a must). It helps eliminate waste, as well --- think how many still-perfectly-usable pencils (i.e., they still have most of their "length" remaining) likely get discarded just because their erasers are worn down.
I always bring along a few pencil cap erasers in my purse, since I know how few people actually practice pencil-eraser etiquette, and so oftentimes the only pencils that will be lying around for people to use will not have any eraser left.

P.S. There's also such a thing as "pencil-POINT etiquette --- if ya wear down the lead in a "public" pencil, such as a string-tethered one for a "customer comments" notes-box, practice a little fellow-human consideration by scraping away a bit of the wood at the tip to expose a little of the graphite core again (here's where always carrying a small pen-knife --- or even better, one of those tiny two-finger-grip "dog-bone" or "hourglass" style sharpeners --- can come in handy), so that da next patron who wishes to fill out a store-satisfaction card can have enough of a point on da pencil to actually do so!

popperazzi

Eager-beaver reporters who go around covering the stories of people who make lots of "exploding cereal" to either sell or pass out to their family and friends.
I always make my "firecracker corn" in a soundproof room so as not to attract any popperazzi to my door.

Good advice, but how could the sleeping ones even say anything, untruthful or otherwise?
Saying, "Let awake dogs tell the truth" makes no more sense than verbally allowing them to fib while snoozing: dogs can't talk in any case, as we all know, and so they could not tell "lies" in any alertness-state --- i.e., whether they are asleep or up and around.
