QuacksO's definitions

conspeeracy

A less-than-legit collusion of two or more shady characters to keenly observe something or someone.
Harriet Oleson huffily states, "Well --- I don't recall any boys spying on ME at the swimming pool when I was a girl!", but as her husband Nils dismissively implied, Harriet had always been so obnoxious and unlikable that even in her childhood, such a "conspeeracy" among her male peers would have been unlikely.

I don't hafta visit da Soviet Union today

Humorous way of saying dat you currently have plenty of time to complete your present task --- i.e., you aren't "rushin' around".
I started out extra-early on my around-town-errands trip, so I don't hafta visit da Soviet Union today.

Wideguagus

Da opposite of Narraguagus.
Da Narraguagus River is actually quite broad along most of its main stretch, so I dunno why they don't call it da "Wideguagus".

auntie-dote

Where a parent's sister lavishes attention/resources on the person's impressionable youngster, causing said toddler to become selfish and demanding.
There is no known "antidote" for the effects of "auntie-dote" on a child --- once a kiddo has a taste of "the good life", his expectations/desires become permanently "stretched" or "expanded", and then he'll never again be content with just mediocre/Spartan lifestyle-choices.

perpetraitor

Someone who was a confidant/accomplice-in-crime to someone else, but then squealed on said second party, ran off wif all da loot, etc. --- there's no honor among thieves.
After Huck Finn returned da stolen money and otherwise spoiled their nefarious plans, da King and da Duke were busy labeling each other as a shameless perpetraitor, since it was revealed dat they had each privately/secretly planned to run out on da other fellow --- i.e., selfishly take all da gold for himself while leaving da other guy penniless.

aerowbics

Fitness-exercises achieved by paddling a boat.
In Pat McManus's hilarious article, "The MFFFF", da out-of-shape author describes how he detests any form of physical exercise; I imagine dat this would include aerowbics, as well --- he would likely opt for just using an outboard motor.

Murphy's Law of shaving

You can wait 'n' wait till clear into mid-May to trim off your itchy bushy Santa-Claus winter beard and you'll have nuthin' but sweltering-skinned moderate-temperature days all along, but if you "break out da Norelco" at any point during dat period, da weather will immediately turn frigid and blustery again, and then you'll have chilly-cheeks syndrome for an entire month!
One good way to minimize da "Murphy's Law of shaving" debacle is to simply wait till da end of March to "mow da lawn" --- dat way, you'll not be so likely to needlessly suffer from extra-warm weather-temps' making your chin and jowls feel like they're inside a blast-furnace, but on da other hand, it will minimize da chances of "freezin' yer face off", too, since there are seldom any significant cold snaps later than three months into da new year.
