sloopervision 

Oversight by an experienced person during sailing lessons.
In Arthur Ransome's "Swallows and Amazons" book, all of da children were experienced boat-operators, but since Roger Walker was only seven, he might have still needed at least some sloopervision from his older siblings or one of da Blackett sisters, especially if da weather on da lake was a bit blustery.

scoopervision 

Monitoring how someone shovels snow, cleans da litterbox, etc.
Even fairly-small children can easily learn how to use simple beach-toy implements to build a sandcastle, so there should be little need for adult scoopervision once they get da hang of it.

A thin wafer or sheet of wood dat you bring back as a memento of a particular place you've visited.
Da roadside rest-area had "Please don't peel the birch" signs to deter visitors from destructively removing still-living bark from da majestic white "woodland soldiers" scattered throughout da area, but I assumed dat said directive did not really apply "in spirit" to just presently-separated coverings which were merely already-dead layers dat da trees had shed naturally, so I went ahead and helped myself to a small souveneer of da ragged papery sheets dat were just flapping loosely in da breeze.

Siouxvenir 

What da Native Americans would prefer dat you to not take from their sacred burial grounds.
Da indigenous tribes have always generally been quite big on trade, so you should usually be able to easily obtain Siouxvenirs and other interesting/attractive trinkets from them through barter or other legitimate exchange of similarly-valuable commodities.

kettlebell vs. kettle-cooked 

Refers to all da weight-lifting exercise dat you'll hafta perform if you habitually chow down on chips and other fattening crap.
As a total chips-'n'-donuts junkie, Homer Simpson could conceivably be viewed as a prime "kettlebell vs. kettle-cooked" candidate, although I would seriously question whether his ponderous flabby bulk and squishy muscles could ever even begin to perform any strenuous exercise regimen!

attracktion 

What "all aboard" aficionados find rails and ties --- and da assorted vehicles dat travel on them --- to be.
Whistle-and-choo-choo junkie bachelors take note --- just because you yourself find trains so fascinating, dat doesn't necessarily mean dat a new lady whom you meet may also find said topic to be a particularly strong attracktion, and thus your showing her your vast "Tracks Ahead" video-collection, touring a railroad museum wif her, or taking her for a cog-driven mountain-tram ride may not be her idea of a wildly-entertaining experience.

Triumphed in planting a crop, impregnated a female, etc.
There are two different types of outcomes associated wif a guy's "getting it on hot 'n' heavy" wif a lady... either he "succeeded" --- i.e., "got lucky" wif her --- or he "sucseeded", as in, not only did he get her to spread her legs for him, but he also caused her to ovulate. This latter condition can also feel like two totally different things depending on whether or not da couple had actually been wanting/intending to make a baby --- if they were, then it would indeed feel like a "success", but if said birth was merely an "accident", then the two lovers might consider said occurrence to be more like a failure, in dat they didn't "get away with" their delightful roll in da hay.
