innickelive
A fivefold-of-the-usual "inCENTive" --- i.e., a cash-bribe for performing some difficult/disagreeable task.
Indignant old-timer: A DOLLAR to shovel the sidewalk?! Why, when I was your age, son, we only asked for PENNIES!!
Twelve-year-old: I know, sir, but when you were my age, the history-book was a ten-page pamphlet. Acknowledgements to Jeff MacNelly --- the young Skyler says this in response to his much-older Uncle Cosmo's distressed remark upon learning that Skyler got a rather low grade in history class: "Skyler, history was my BEST SUBJECT in school!" This is the modern world, and the price of everything is much higher than it used to be, so youngsters' allowances hafta be adjusted accordingly; I need an inNICKELive nowadays if I'm gonna totally bust my butt hefting huge ponderous spadefuls of rock-hard-frozen snow for half an hour.

newance
A subtle distinction or variation between an item or idea dat is "fresh off da factory floor" and one dat is so gently used as to be virtually indistinguishable from da aforementioned one dat had never been in service.
You can often get a considerable price-discount on eBay for a totally-unused item dat simply comes without its original box; da item itself is actually just as good as a crated one dat's straight from da warehouse, of course, but some overly-picky buyers are turned off by this insignificant newance, and so da perfectly-pristine item may still not be considered to be quite so salable as if it included its fancy-schmancy shipping/display-carton.
episewed
A daily/weekly show-segment dat has to do with someone's having performed a task wif a needle and thread.
Welcome to the Martha Stewart Show; on today's episewed, our mature blonde bombshell demonstrates how to perform simple clothing repairs like re-attaching buttons and stitching up unraveled seams.
revelution
Playing World of Warships is a major revelution in dat you get all of da excitement of aiming, shooting, and glorious explosions, but nobody actually gets hurt and nothing is destroyed.
