caropractor

A highly-skilled worker at an auto-body shop who specializes in performing front-end alignments, straightening out frames and panels, and generally aiding in restoring the correct positioning of bent/warped vehicle-parts.

Off-roading enthusiast: My 4X4 got kinda bent outta shape after doing the 100km Baja slalom, so I hadda take her to a caropractor to get her runnin' smooth and straight again.

Spacific Ocean

Dat particular large body of salt-water dat's known for having less-choppy waves than others.

In da famous "building a bridge from Southern California to Hawaii is easier than helping you to understand women" genie-released-from-a-bottle joke, it's not always mentioned which Spacific ocean they are referring to where said bridge is supposed to be built across.

Gordon Leadfoot

Da "evil twin" to da "nearly-weightless on his toes" Canadian singer; said "black sheep" counterpart loves to really "floor it" when driving.

I wonder if da melodious-voiced songwriter of "Ghosts of Cape Horn:" and "Wreck Of the Edmund Fitzgerald" fame is having to perform overtime just to pay for his irresponsible relative Gordon Leadfoot's speeding tickets???

nizzard blizzard

What stilts-enthusiast King Birtram's patrol-cats prevent by guarding the Kingdom Of Binn's dike-trees night and day.

I take it that there is enough of a nizzard blizzard at egg-hatching time to keep the population of said snooty blackbirds fairly stable, since after his banishment, the evil Lord Droon was made to gaggingly make a meal out of one or more cooked specimens of said troublesome flapper three times a day.

oarganically grown

Planted and tended aboard a rowboat instead of on a motorized skiff.

Da double-ended dinghy Tidely-Idley was fitted with a make-and-break engine so dat Burt Dow didn't hafta paddle it when he went to fish for cod; his other boat was no longer launchable, and so he'd filled it with earth and planted geraniums and Indian peas --- does this mean dat said flowers were oarganically grown??

exscream

So incredibly difficult/dangerous/unpleasant that you shriek in disgust/distress.

I diligently try to be sensible and careful in every facet oh my life so that hopefully no issue or problem I encounter will be (or become) an exscream circumstance.

show up in uniforum

To have a whole troop of badge-wearers go to interact with someone, rather than just having one or two of "da area's finest" go talk to him.

Oftentimes a supposed "offender" is merely a meek harmless individual who likely hadn't actually been aware dat he'd broken da law --- or maybe even dat he'd offended anyone to begin with --- and so there's no need to "show up in uniforum" at his front door... most likely just having a single officer unobtrusively approach him and quietly discuss options would be more than sufficient!
