skidaddle

To hurriedly jab yer poles in and push off down da snowy slopes.
In da famous and delightfully-bouncy song, "Canadian Sunset" da singer gratefully praises his new sweetheart for not choosing to "skidaddle" when they first met on da trail, but instead pausing to warmly kiss him "long and deep", after which they became inseparable, and she happily accompanied him back to his home in da States.

coppertunist

Someone who is always on the lookout for chances to salvage discarded/unwanted copper to sell for scrap.
I don't mind coppertunists who just tootle door-to-door and respectfully ask people if they have any unwanted metal kicking around, or merely gather up already-discarded pieces that are simply strewn on the ground or lying beside the road... what really burns me up is the selfish.mean guys who actually steal other people's stockpiles of pipe/wire, or --- even worse --- rip the piping out from the walls of summer homes, hunting lodges, lakeside/fishing camps, etc., so that the cottages' unfortunate owners have to either replace it or go with plastic piping instead. Makes me also wonder if any of those same sneaky dudes have investments in the PEX industry!

Sybil War

What Basil Fawlty fights each and every day.
Most battles aren't the least bit humorous, but the Sybil War is an exception.

arrestaurant

An eating-establishment where undercover cops hang out in the hopes of nabbing people who are on the run.
Dirty Harry was able to use the arrestaurant to catch his suspect; too bad the crook didn't think to count whether Harry had fired five shots or six; he didn't know the gun was empty when Harry told him, "Go ahead --- make my day!".

camelflage

What da fabled humped companion of da "displaced Arab" should have employed to avoid his turban-wearing master's realizing dat he was also present inside da tent.
Just like da hilarious kiddie-joke about "look for peanut shells to determine if there's an elephant in bed wif you", I seriously doubt dat using camelflage would have helped said shivering dromedary to avoid detection by his comfy-warm desert-companion, since even if he did indeed appear virtually invisible, da Arab would still have FELT his towering pack-animal's enormous bulk squeezing inside da tent wif him. :P

violater

A lawbreaker who doesn't commit his illegal acts immediately, but waits till da fuzz isn't looking.
Harry actually goes so far as to park a distance back from a stop sign and wait extended periods till any cop cars in da area move to other locales, just so dat he can blow through da intersection --- talk about an obsessive hard-core violater!

carbitration

A ruling on how much rich-'n'-tasty food you can eat.
Hey, hey --- calm down --- there's nothing mandatory about da "RDA" figures! It is merely a nutritional suggestion --- it's not like it's some kinda carbitration!
