misstery

An unexplained phenomenon or event regarding da fairer half.

In da infamous "middle-aged dude and da genie" joke, said vaporous entity implies dat it would actually be MORE difficult for him to unravel da misstery dat da clueless bachelor had asked him about than to build a nearly-three-thousand-mile-long bridge from California across da Pacific Ocean to Hawaii! :P

bulletin boarder

Someone who posts messages on a bulletin board so frequently/voluminously that it seems like he practically "lives" on the board.

I get so sick of all those notices that come from just a few "prolific posters" in the community, especially if they don't usually have anything very important/valid to say or advertise --- those folks are such shameless bulletin boarders! They don't help themselves or anyone else by putting up so many boring notices... all it does is clutter up the board and draw attention away from the legitimate messages elsewhere on the board.

hee-hawbby

Can refer to either:
(1) A spare-time activity involving donkeys.
(2) A special fondness for laughing in an irritating squeaky/wheezy manner hat really grates on everyone else's eardrums.
(3) A leisure-time practice of watching old re-runs of da famous hillbilly-folks' TV show from da late '60's.

Heck Jones's favorite hee-hawbby was to nasally guffaw at Josh McBroom whenever he smirkingly believed that he had pulled a fast one on that seemingly-gullible Irish farmer, but in the end it was always said tall scrawny schemer who ended up getting bested, and said honest dirt-grubber who "got the last laugh".

map-sensor

A engine component dat detects when da vehicle's "manly-macho" driver needs to pull over and ask fer directions.

Click and Clack recommend covering an unwelcome-status-indicating idiot-light or dashboard-gauge with opaque tape, so if you truly detest having to admit dat you weren't watching da road-signs, I s'pose dat you could do likewise for a map-sensor, as well.

TMI

An acronym used as a “time out” or “let’s change the subject” protest on Instant Messenger. Stands for TOO MUCH INFORMATION, indicating that the speaker feels personally violated by his chat buddy’s latest message, probably because it contains details that are either too personal (i.e.: sexual, medically-private, describing one’s deeply-rooted fantasy, etc.) or are of the type that would likely turn one’s stomach, being revolting, gory, or otherwise overly graphic.

Online guy #1: I felt sick yesterday after a “hot’n’heavy” session with my plump new co-worker, so I had to have my stomach pumped, and the contents examined. There were some residues of lipstick, but at least there were no weevils.
Online guy #2: Uhhhhggggghhh… TMI, dude…

Siouxvenir

What da Native Americans would prefer dat you to not take from their sacred burial grounds.

Da indigenous tribes have always generally been quite big on trade, so you should usually be able to easily obtain Siouxvenirs and other interesting/attractive trinkets from them through barter or other legitimate exchange of similarly-valuable commodities.

Yeah, yeah, yeah --- arms around...

What you sarcastically grumble when everyone in a group seems to wanna get all cozy for no apparent reason.

(Spoken while dutifully cooperating in a huge "crowd embrace" of party-goers just to be polite and agreeable, but not really understanding why everyone wants to get all cozy) "Yeah, yeah, yeah --- arms around... aren't we all huggy-cuddly-snuggly LOVEY-DOVEY today!!"
