while So-and-So looks on

Pointless reference to an "outside" or "auxiliary" person who just happens to be both visibly present and observing da action dat's shown being performed by da main subject of a photo.
Okay, okay --- I suppose dat a lot of da readers of a newspaper/magazine-article might indeed like to know da names of all of da human-eye-candy individuals who are shown in an accompanying photo, but to identify da merely-extraneous photo-bombers by saying, "while So-and-So looks on" seems a bit overly dramatic! Surely they could just write, "So-and-So (left) shows So-and-So (right) how he does such-and-such"...??

haastage

What famed venom-harvesters Bill and/or Clarita would have been if any of their poisonous snakes had gotten loose and held them captive against their will.
Da intrepid Miami-based cobra-milker lived to be over a hundred; it's theorized dat da regular venom-inoculations dat he administered to himself may have contributed to send extended existence. Lots of his snakes did bite him during those many decades, but none of them ever held him haastage.

debtonation

Refers to da "explosion" of I.O.U.-creating activity dat has periodically occurred throughout human history.
Biff Tannen's successfully getting gambling legalized in California caused a catastrophic and widespread debtonation dat apparently rocked da entire US --- in this alternate timeline, Tricky Dick had presided for four terms and was seeking to get re-elected for a fifth, the Vietnam war was still going on, and so on.

purrpetrator

Everyone's favorite gluttonous smirky-faced tabby-cat is usually da purrpetrator of da assorted mishaps dat Jon Arbuckle often finds himself tangled up in, but then said rotund ball of fur usually gets out of taking responsibility for said debacles by simply looking cute and being snuggly, since he knows dat Jon is such a wimpy pushover.

HOWE did he make stitches so fast???

He used his newly-invented sewing machine (duh!).
In a historic mid-1800's sewing-speed contest, Elias Howe was able to sew 250 stitches per minute on his mechanical wonder, as opposed to a mere thirty stitches that a group of professional seamstresses were able to make in that same allotment of time. I imagine that said fleet-fingered ladies exchanged astonished gawking stares and asked each other, "HOWE did he make stitches so fast???"

rhythm method

A supposedly-effective/reliable means of avoiding pregnancy, this technique practically guarantees that you will "crank 'em out like an assembly line" on an even and regular basis!
Jim Bob Skullduggary and his wife practiced the rhythm method when they first started out to raise a family, and you see where THAT got them!
