phenolmenon

A unique property/characteristic of a petroleum-based compound used to synthesize plastics.
One phenolmenon of printed-circuit-board material is that it can withstand moderate heat, so it is ideal for applying copper-foil traces to be soldered to for mounting electronic components.

arkives

Ancient record-keeping files dat describe da performance and/or location of da famous golden chest of da Covenant.
If Rene Belloq had sifted though da ancient arkives instead of relying on da arrogant and incompetent Nazis for help and guidance, he might have located da precious metal vessel before Indiana Jones did.

No, it won't, because we'll just be PLAYING ANOTHER AD after this one ends!

Why can't da commecrials all be da "You can skip ad in _ seconds" type, so dat you only hafta wait a few seconds and then get on with your show???

broughamelain

An important enzyme that helps the body maintain good overall health and physical/emotional equilibrium; a deficiency in this nutrient causes the sufferer to experience an overwhelming craving to drive and/or ride in an antique Plymouth Brougham.
I don't like pineapples much, so I often have a broughamelain deficiency; fortunately there is huge antique-car museum just down the street, so I just go over there and wander around among the quaint old square-bodied Plymouth sedans for a while till I feel better.

squallor

How ANY living conditions --- no matter how good --- will appear to a petulantly-blubbering person who never seems to be satisfied no matter how hard others try to appease him.
Ethan Couch was a classic example of someone living in "squallor" --- he was given a lavish lifestyle and his family had money "up da wazoo and back", and yet he was still never really happy.

gratis glance

Da brief inspection/diagnosis dat yer local repair-person may perform on your mildly-malfunctioning equipment for free, if you ask him reeeeeaaaalllyyyy nicely.
If you either purchased da not-working-quite-right device at da same "sales 'n' service" shop from where you're requesting da help wif said cranky contraption, or you do a good amount of business at said establishment anyway, da staffpeople there may be a lot more willing to favor you wif a "gratis glance", since you'll already be a "preferred customer" whom they want to keep happy.

turbineator

High wind and/or shoddy design/materials/workmanship dat causes huge numbers of whirligig-generators to break down and self-destruct.
A recent viral-video of a wind-farm fire showed more than one machine going up in flames at da same time --- let's hope dat it was merely an accident due to severe weather and/or faulty design, and dat Big Oil didn't send a Turbineator there to purposely sabotage said clean-energy facility!
