QuacksO's definitions

ryeder-bill

A bootleg-liquor-related addendum-submission dat is surreptitiously slipped in along with a proposed law or rule for consideration by Congress or da President.

During Prohibition, it seems likely dat lots of ryeder-bills were sneaked into da House and Senate with da hope of their being unwittingly approved without being noticed too much.

cowarden

A wildlife agent who has no backbone do actually get out there and do his job.

Considering that many sportsmen are armed to the teeth and often take ample quantities of alcohol on their game-seeking sojourns, I cannot really blame someone for being a cowarden when it comes to enforcing a state's hunting laws.

Kineticut

Da tiny southern-New-England state dat was politically established with lots of frenzied arm-waving and vigorous leaping about by its founders.

I never could understand why da founders of Kineticut spent so much time and energy on frenetic gymnastics --- why didn't they just "connect da cut" and be done wif it?!???

summerize

To gradually prepare yourself for the warmer sunnier months, such as gently "breaking in" your complexion for tanning without peeling.

Initially I wear my white sunhat all the time whenever I go outdoors in late Spring so that my "chrome dome" doesn't get sunburned, but then as the days get even warmer, I alternately take off the hat and then put it back on a few minutes later, in an effort to summerize my scalp; eventually when I get a fairly even tan "up there", I can leave my hat off for hours at a time without excessive reddening.

galvalanting

Having a high old time performing rust-proofing tasks in various widespread locales.

I always love shiny tin objects, so my employment as a metal-finisher is such a blast --- I actually get paid to go galvalanting around doing what I most enjoy.

fiskal year

Da annual financial record of da company dat makes da ubiquitous orange-handled scissors.

As breakable as those chintzy plastic-handled scissors are, I'm amazed dat their manufacturer can even get through a single fiskal year!

Michael Milk'em

The infamous effeminate-featured junk-bond swindler from the '80's who selfishly viewed his investors as merely bountiful dairy-cows waiting to be gluttonously guzzled from.

Michael Milk'em squeezed and drained his investors dry, and then good ol' Bernie "made off" with the ill-gotten "liquid assets".
