remoat control
Refers to da capability of raising and lowering a castle's drawbridge from a separate locale, without having to actually be right near said tiltable ramp to haul in da chains or let them out.
Sharp-eyed enemy archers or musketeers could quite possibly pick off a knight who was attempting to crank up a drawbridge manually, so having said vital operation be remoat controlled would be a lot safer, since said operator would not have to place himself in such "direct" harm's way while performing said attacking-army-thwarting task.

obsessive compulsive flag-unfurling disorder
Or "OCFUD" for short. Refers to where you absolutely cannot stand to simply walk by a flagstaff where da pennant has become wrapped around da pole or is otherwise not hanging/flapping freely as it's supposed to be; you feel da overwhelming need to reach up and caringly "free da folds" so dat said lovely colorful banner can flutter freely and gloriously proclaim its bold "freedom of expression" message once again.
Why anybody would make an issue about someone's obsessive compulsive flag-unfurling disorder is totally beyond me --- just like "OMLC disorder" (whereby you are unable to resist closing an obviously-hanging-open mailbox-lid on your way by), it would be only common-sense logical to assume dat whoever put up da tangled-up flag would indeed want it to remain "free to flutter" instead of being messily twisted around da flagpole. Plus of course, it's only what YOU'D want OTHERS to do regarding any flag dat YOU YOURSELF had hung, and so you'd be merely following da Golden Rule by performing said Good Samaritan task yourself wif any bunched-up flag dat you see while strolling around town.

guarantea
A legally-binding promise by da Radical Whig colonists dat dey would dump da dried-aromatic-leaves cargo off of da British ships in Boston Harbor if da London-based government didn't remove da tax.
fourclosure
What unhappy early-'70's-era kindergarteners longingly wished for when da snooty penmanship-style tsars of dat period dictatorially decided to change da attractive-and-comfy-looking triangular-topped "two squared" symbol to a yucky stilted-configured "open-topped" style.
High-powered lawyers in Washington shoulda threatened fourclosure on da Department Of Education if they didn't let children choose which style of "love and stability number" they used in their math and writing, rather than mandating dat dey use da hideous-looking "all right-angles" design.
