terminader

What da auto industry viewed da enthusiastic young lawyer and "Unsafe At Any Speed" author as when he first launched onto da scene back in 1965.

If da auto industry had voluntarily acted upon their already-voluminous knowledge of auto-safety instead of being legally forced to do so, they would not have had occasion to view da irrepressible Ralphie as da "terminader".

living will

A type of inheritance-document which releases and distributes assets while the bequeather is "still with us"; particularly common among "unpopular" geezers with greedy impatient young heirs: said geezer fears that said heirs may conspire to "off him before his time" because they do not love or care for him personally, and so they just want him out of the way so they can get their grabby hands on his money sooner. So this kind of WILL may better insure that he can go on LIVING a while longer; it also allows him to monitor and stipulate how his money is being used, something he could not do after his death.

Seniors club member #1: You mean to tell me that you gave your nephews their inheritance money now?! How come?
Seniors club member #2: Oh, just a precaution in an effort to live longer --- a living will is cheaper than hiring a bodyguard!

Beauty and the Breast

A PG-rated "supplementary" essay to the classic fairly tale, this missive advises pre-teen and early-teen girls about why some of the boys in her neighborhood or school are suddenly expressing interest in her, even though previously they may have either mostly ignored her or treated her like she was ugly, fat, geeky/awkward, bothersome, etc.

If the "Beauty and the Breast" pamphlet had been around in Laura Ingalls' time, the prematurely-buxom Sylvia might have not been so upset and scared when neighborhood boys started pestering and harassing her.

Shrekxercise

What everyone's favorite green-skinned ogre wif da funnel-shaped ears goes to da gym for.

Since Shrek loves Fiona and finds her "ogre beauty" to be totally to his liking, perhaps he will get plenty of "Shrekxercise" just with her whenever she shares his bed, and so there will be no need for him to lift weights or otherwise work out to stay in shape.

nounose

Using excessive place-of-being words, as opposed to being "verbose".

Stuffed-shirt politicians are known for being nounose --- spouting "freedom", "economy", "patriotism" --- rather than overusing action words like "rebel", "question", "protest", etc.

surgial altercation

What ya get when ya move da "c" from da first word to da second. Since "Sergio" is a Spanish name, maybe this term refers to a dust-up dat occurs in a Mexican hospital during a disagreement over a tummy-tuck, breast-augmentation, sex-change operation, etc.

Some people are so horrified at their post-facelift appearance dat they actually get into a surgial altercation with da doctor or other staff.
