analiceis

What Martin Gardner created wif da "Annotated" book.
Lewis Carrol subtly incorporated so many enigmatic little "Easter eggs" into his famous two books about his favorite adventurous little girl dat a great volume of analiceis was necessary to reveal and explain all of these clever secrets.

assetylene torch

What you use to really "light a fire under someone's posterior".
So many politicians and other officials are really lazy about getting up off their butts and actually fulfilling their assigned duties; we often need to resort to breaking out da assetylene torches just to get said fat-cat indolents to do their jobs!

crime of the sentry

Da fox guarding da henhouse (duh), pulling off da perfect heist unrivaled by any crime in da past hundred years.
Maybe it is indeed true dat "da butler did it", but in order to pull off said "crime of the sentry", said suave ironed-coat-and-starched-tails lackey would have needed help from da front-gate watchman, as well.

papyruscy

Seeing as how it's been so long since da ancient scrolls of Rome, Greece, and Egypt were originally penned, any associated copyrights have probably long since expired, and thus da content of said vintage texts has likely passed into da public domain; I would therefore imagine dat nowadays you would be free to quote from these antique writings all you want without fear of being sued for papyruscy.

horizontal handshake

A.k.a. "moocher's greeting" or "glad-handout"; it refers to where one of your "friends" beamingly approaches you with extended arm as if to greet you with a hearty palm-clasp, but instead of positioning his hand vertically the way one usually does when shaking hands, he holds his outstretched palm **upwards** so that his hand is horizontal --- this "gimme, gimme, gimme" position is how his hand is usually held whenever he is around fellow humans (duh!).
I always feel suspicious whenever someone greets me with a horizontal handshake, since it is a good indication that he is planning to ask me for a handout.

rainbow greeting

A smilingly-playful salutation dat consists of da phrase, "The color between orange and green." Translation: "YELLOOOO!"
A rainbow greeting is da greatest --- why just SAY hello when ya can YELL it? :D

bamboo-zled

Tricked into thinking you’re getting real bamboo when it’s actually just some cheap crappy imitation (think, using dried marsh-grass blades or cattail leaves for creating a basket, lamp-shade, or mat/curtain, instead of da genuine natural-plastic woven slats).
I hired a fly-by-night landscaper to plant a “tubular grass” fringe around my house, but the lyin’ shyster just stuck in a weedy thicket of Japanese knotweed --- I got seriously bamboo-zled on THAT deal!
