inside-of-glove fingers-curl

Refers to the chillier-weather hand-maneuver that you periodically perform when your digits get chilly inside your mittens; it involves withdrawing your half-frozen appendages from the glove's cold-moisture-soaked fingers and rolling them up into your palm to help warm them a bit more.
I had to handle wet items while running my errands around town during today's unseasonable snowstorm, so I was obliged to frequently perform the inside-of-glove fingers-curl so that my hands wouldn't go numb.

parlor trick

What da spider famously tried to play on da fly through verbal enticement --- i.e., inviting in said buzzy being with promises of fine and homey accommodations.
Even modern-day folks could take a lesson from Mary Howitt's early-1800's kiddie-poem --- there are always gonna be plenty of deceitful shysters around who will try all number of "parlor tricks" on you in an attempt to lure you into their "webs of deception", such as financial scams, empty promises of romance, false/exaggerated claims or destitution, etc.

Juiced-up dude, eagerly admiring another young man’s shiny “jacked up” 4X4 pickup truck: “Cooool… nice set o’ WHEELS, Man… hey, wanna join me in the big mud-running contest this Saturday?”
Truck’s owner: “No thanks, Pal --- no insult whatever to you or your buddies, but I wanna keep this truck in mint condition for as long as possible, so I’m just using it for regular off-roading only… this baby ain’t goin’ for no wreckreation while I’m at th’ wheel!”

shampooh

Da "generic knockoff" dollar-store brand of kiddie scalp-wash available at a much-cheaper price than da "genuine article" dat comes in an Edward-Bear-shaped bottle.
I have always raised my children to ignore fancy-schmancy advertising and packaging, so they don't mind using just "bargain-basement" soap and shampooh for their bathing needs.

flopportunity

Any occasion during a period of long/strenuous labors when it is possible to "crash for a few".
Collecting returnables is heavy arduous work, and so I always try to take any flopportunity I can get throughout the day.

leavesdropping

Da telltale loosening and allowing to fall of individual foliage-units from a tree in which you're hiding in an effort to spy on someone below you; da random sprinklings of said released chlorophyll-bearers will likely alert even a mildly-observant surveillance-target dat he is currently not "alone with his thoughts", but has company from above.
There was nobody underneath da tree-limb dat George McFly was perching on to perform his "peeping Tom" routine through Lorraine's Baines's window, so even if there had been a bit of resulting leavesdropping, George's lecherous shenanigans would still likely have gone unnoticed.
