Babbleonia

The war-torn region of the Middle East that has seen upheaval and strife for millennia due to the residents of the surrounding countries' being infuriated at how talkative the country's citizens were, particularly about their aggressively-fanatical religious beliefs.

I need some peace and quiet for my vacation, so I'd better steer clear of visiting Babbleonia.

heavidently

Refers to how someone's still-corpulent figure indicates that he isn't sticking to his diet.

President Taft's doctor put him on a strict low-carb diet, but in the end they hadda bury him in a coffin da size of a piano-case, so heavidently he didn't "behave himself" in the culinary department.

Murphy's Law of Accessibility

Refers to the infuriating situation of something you need's usually being at the bottom of a pile, at the back of a drawer/shelf, etc.

I have a 2--vertical-layers-deep stack of plastic totes for storing my DVD-collection, arranged in alphabetical order. It's often the case that the disc I want to watch has a title that is near the end of the alphabet, though, and so I hafta laboriously remove all da rest of da crates to access the very back/bottom box... yep, a classic case of Murphy's Law of Accessibility!

Gullible's Travels

What Jonathon Swift's "pygmies and giants" book should really be named, since you'd have to be outrageously naive to actually believe any of the crap that he relates.

If it would be possible to find someone who genuinely thought that the "Gullible's Travels" book was based on true events, you could likely also get him to swallow two additional "fanfic" chapters wherein the book's narrator also was able to assume ownership of the Brooklyn Bridge and establish a homestead in the Florida swamplands.

coronery bypass

The highly-illegal practice of secretly burying or disposing of a corpse without having said cadaver examined by the proper authority-figures.

Zheeesh... I guess it's no wonder there are so many malpractice-suits and doctors going to jail over botched coronery bypasses --- not properly reporting/processing a deceased human is a decidedly "serious crime" that you can do some "serious time" for!

cycleone

A super-heavy menstrual-period dat is a "total whirlwind" of activity.

Claiming to have a cycleone dat month is a great way for a girl to avoid having sex.

explosives enthusiast

Highly entertaining but “living extremely dangerously” person who loves to blow things up --- without proper preparation or training --- just to hear the huge thunderous booms. Usually has lots of buddies --- other equally careless/macho guys who pal around with him and assist him with his gloriously noisy tasks.

from "The Red Green Show" Patrick McKenna as Harold Green: Okay, it’s time to play the Possum Lodge Word Game, and playing for tonight’s grand prize is local demolitions expert, Mr. Edgar K. B. Montrose! K.B. stands for “Ka Boom”
Graham Greene as Edgar K. B. Montrose: Oh, I wouldn’t say I’m an explosives EXPERT, Harold --- I prefer to think of myself as just an explosives ENTHUSIAST!
Steve Smith as Red Green (in a tone of slightly wary sarcasm): Ya got a LICENSE to use high explosives, do ya, Edgar?
Graham Greene as Edgar K. B. Montrose (looking innocently puzzled): How do you mean?
