friendly fire
Refers to where a dragon uses its most famous capability to assist others in a positive and healthy way, such as to warm them up, light a stove or grill, etc.
Da heroic act of Pete's dragon in igniting da lighthouse's damp burner-wick is a classic example of friendly fire.

moron the slater
A phrase dat means, "We'll give you additional details subsequently", but spelled out "Mad Gab style".
In several of da "Thomas and Friends" stories, one or more idiots cause strings of troublesome trucks loaded with newly-mined raw-blackboard sheets to come loose and go careening off da rails. This is all da info dat we currently have time to state regarding said episodes; moron the slater.

Wideguagus
Da Narraguagus River is actually quite broad along most of its main stretch, so I dunno why they don't call it da "Wideguagus".

signachore
If scribblin' on da dotted line is a real signachore, there are at least two fairly-easy options: either obtaining a rubber stamp with your "self-scrawl" imprinted on it (to prevent fraud, this potentially-super-valuable device should be kept under lock and key except when you're actually using it, of course; it may also require a co-signing witness for da stamped name to be legally binding/acceptable), or have a more-able-bodied fellow human grasp your hand to guide it through the writing process (this again necessitates da assistance of another, but if your muscles/joints are truly so weak/stiff/painful dat you can't even occasionally jot down a few words without great difficulty, then you might wanna have a full-time caregiver at your side, anyway, to help you perform ordinary day-to-day tasks more safely/easily).

detonader
What da zealous young lawyer from Connecticut was to da "already-ticking time-bomb" of public unrest regarding da super-dangerous post-war-era automobile designs.
People were really getting hot under da collar about da deplorable accident-statistics of mid-20th-century motor vehicles, and so all they needed was a good "detonader" to spectacularly "set things off" --- i.e., cause da whole "style-before-safety" crisis to totally "explode" onto da public scene --- and thus raise awareness and force positive changes.
pennyfarting
An old-style bike dat has a huge front wheel, and is powered by da rider's having eaten an equally-huge helping of baked beans and cabbage before his journey.
A pennyfarting is hard enough to mount and ride just as it is, but how does one suddenly stop said crazy contraption and then hastily dismount from his lofty perch when he has to "spend a penny" at a "water closet"?
