MP's may sometimes jokingly refer to the weapons-storage facility as an "aromory" if one or more of said cadets on security-detail unthinkingly chowed down on baked beans before starting their shift.

menaceter

A pulpit culpit --- I mean, a pulprit culprit... whatever! A creepy preacher who uses terrifying "fire and brimstone" tales to try to scare his parishioners into following his own pet version of religion.

Warren Jeffs was a classic menaceter in that he used fear of the "Great One" to pressure his congregation to do his selfish and often-illegal bidding.

cusstom

Da local standard or accepted norm regarding profanity. Da funny story about the little girl helping the construction-workers build a house next door is a prime example of this.

I love horses and I detest "salty" language, so I enjoy visiting my Amish friends on both accounts... they give me "free rein" (pun intended!) of their barns and fields to go and pet their large glossy-maned work-buddies all I want, and they always speak civilly to me because they have a strict zero-tolerance cusstom.

wedding serumony

swellebration

A lot of guys get huge boners at da sight of any even-marginally-attractive lady "in da buff", so dat is not necessarily much cause for swellebration.

If you're in da habit of running afoul of one or more smokeys on your road-trips, you'll want to choose routes dat includes enough pairs of hiways and byeways so dat you can give said Men In Blue da slip whenever necessary.

ferry tales

Da body of literary fiction recounting da adventures of Theodore Tugboat and his friends.

Many of da stories in Da Brothers Grimm's book were morbid and violent; I much prefer da modern-day ferry tales, where everyone generally makes an effort to get along and work together.
