bowl weevil

A small boring insect that is utilized by the sporting industry to form the three finger-holes in bowling-balls.

I don't know why people say they hate the bowl weevil so much --- how else would there be the finger-holes in bowling-balls?

cafetearia

A lunch-break room where da food is so awful dat you actually cry if you hafta eat there.

Miss Beazley is such a notoriously-awful cook dat Archie and da other students view her mess hall as either a "cafetearia" or a "cafetearya", in dat either they feel like whining 'n' bawling when presented with her crappy culinary creations, or they get watery-eyed from her having used too much onion, pepper, or other chemically-irritating seasoning in said mediocre preparations.

1/7-turn mouse-pad rotation

Refers to where you temporarily spin your rectangular mouse-pad a fraction of a turn so that you can roll the mouse diagonally along the pad for maximum "continuous travel-distance" before having to lift the mouse and bring it back up to the top of the pad again. Useful for when you need to move the cursor farther than an entire "top to bottom" or "left to right" sweep of the screen, such as if the web-page is extra long/wide, or if you are needing to view the page with the magnifier racked up considerably.

I always set my cursor's travel-speed at maximum so that I usually don't have to move the mouse very far to navigate the entire screen-area; once in a while I have to look at a really long column of text or images (like if I'm reading a large volume of text or shopping for items on a lengthy catalog-page), though, and so I do a 1/7-turn mouse-pad rotation to minimize my having to perform "fresh-bite hops" with the mouse.

Martin Jekyll

Da more-even-tempered political candidate from Sarasota County, Florida.

Maybe if Martin Hyde had had Martin Jekyll in da car with him at da time when he got pulled over for speeding and texting, da "opposites attract" concept might have kinda mellowed things out a bit, and so there might not have been da humiliating nationwide scandal dat brewed up as a result of said disgraceful incident.

Mayo Clinic

A medical establishment where they try to cure you with Hellman's Real or --- if carbs/calories are of concern --- Light. Good luck on THAT one! :P

The Mayo Clinic is in cahoots with other dietary doctors and nutrition-centers in their local area --- once they get your cholesterol to sky-high levels with their "creamy calories" diet, they then ship you off to one of their confederate "good ol' boy network" centers to make even MORE money undoing the colossal damage that your "original" treatment caused!

squirrel shout-out

Where you abruptly snap your head around and irritably bellow, “WHAT IS YOUR PROBLEM?!” up into the trees whenever a bushy-tailed nut-gatherer makes a chattering scolding ruckus when you are merely minding your own business and working quietly in your yard. Sometimes this stress-relieving action may actually be performed mostly for the entertainment of others in your vicinity, particularly easily-amused giggly children --- you may indeed be highly irritated by the squirrel's inexplicable/unwarranted noisy tirade, but everyone knows that your own crimson-faced outburst really isn't gonna do much good overall, since squirrels obviously ain't gonna keep quiet just 'cuz you want them to.

Sometimes doing a squirrel shout-out is indeed effective in shutting up dat noisy fur-varmint, at least for a few minutes… guess he’s so non-plussed at my sudden bellowing outburst that he doesn’t know quite what to make of it all. But in any case, I still fail to see what he’s getting so pissed off about in da first place --- I’m not bothering him or even paying him any mind, and I sure as shootin’ ain’t after his precious acorns, so what’s his beef with me, anyhoot???

assk first

What you should always do when you want to squeeze/pinch/spank someone's behind.

I find that most cute chicks are reasonably "permissive" if they know you fairly well and like you okay; usually a gal will let you play with her buns if you are always a gentleman by making sure to assk first.
