simperthy
Cryin' crocodile-tears in da presence of grieving fellow humans, when you're actually feelin' "fat, dumb, and happy" about whatever misfortune has occurred.
Two examples of when one might display simperthy would be if:
(1) a deceased person had either been a pain in da-a** to you and/or has left you a tidy "chunk o' change" in his will, or
(2) a romantic couple has broken up, and one of da two people was someone whom you yourself had had your eye on, and so you figger dat now dat he's no longer "taken", you may have a shot at dating him yourself.

arraigngement
Sarcastic term for a "kangaroo court" proceeding whereby most or all of da chief participants have illegally pre-determined what da outcome of said sham-trial will be, without having actually heard and/or conscientiously considered all sides of da story.
Having a "fat cats triumph in any case" arraigngement wif da court may indeed make things more palatable and easier/simpler for those involved, but true justice will very likely not be served.

it's the principal of the thing
What a grade-school student tells someone as a reason for his unwillingness to perform a requested action; it means dat while he personally would not mind doing it, he is afraid dat "da big man in dat dreaded upstairs office" would disapprove, and thus he would give him major grief if he found out.
One sixth-grade boy conversing with another on da playground: Sorry, Dude --- I can't slip you a textbook in class to help you get a better grade on your test; it's the principal of the thing."

attension
Dr. Claw and his henchmen were none too happy about Inspector Gadget's attension as they were preparing to escape in their hearse-limo, fearing dat he was suspicious of them and would see through their disguises; they eventually discovered to their immense relief dat he was telling them to pause merely so dat he could open da car's door for them.
ALTERcation
A verbal and/or physical dust-up due to either someone's displeasure at da tailoring adjustments of a prized garment, or someone's decidedly NOT "holding his peace" at a wedding.
A bridal shop should pay due diligence during gown-preparations, to hopefully avoid any ALTERcations stemming from one or more wardrobe malfunctions during a "big day" ceremony.
