coreoner

An investigator who tries to determine what person ate a particular apple, based on da discarded center of said fruit.
If you want to maximize your tummy-filling enjoyment of a Red Delicious or Macintosh, using a paring knife to cut said fruit in quarters and carefully trim out da stem, seeds, and center-fins --- rather than just messily chomping away most of da apple's edible part --- is da way to accomplish this; it also largely foils a coreoner who might be looking for tooth-marks and other distinctive evidence in da tossed remains.

YouTube-recommendation-induced delay

Refers to the postponement that inevitably occurs when you go to watch a certain video on YouTube, but there are one or more irresistibly-interesting other videos that are offered on the home-page, and so you spend the next 45 minutes viewing those other videos before you finally bring up the one you'd originally gone there to watch (if you can even remember which one it was, of course, after totally saturating your brain wif all of dat OTHER delightful/fascinating/informative content).
When I'd originally brought up the YouTube homepage, I was just wanting to watch a 5-minute instructional-video on how to re-assemble the carburetor on a Weed Wacker after cleaning it, but I ended up spending over an hour at it thanks to YouTube-recommendation-induced delay!

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.

tareorism

Humorous term for da actions of a weight-accuracy-obsessed individual who is constantly zeroing a digital scale whenever it is empty.
Da dry-goods-market owner frequently re-calibrates da store's measuring devices, but I wouldn't go so far as to accuse him of tareorism.

nice tonsils

What you observingly remark when someone yawns extra-wide; this of course makes the person laugh and "messes up" their perfectly-good yawn.
Saying, "Nice tonsils" is also an excellent way to benignly rebuke the sleepy/bored person by humorously informing him that it is considered rude/invasive to yawn right in someone else's face.
