barracuba

A large tropical fish whose long-bodied snake-like appearance and fierce aggressive nature greatly resembles "The Great Fidel's" strife-torn island-country.

Given the choice, I wonder if "Da Big F" would have enjoyed fillet-of-barracuba for dinner, and driven a Plymouth Barracuba?

Salamander Rushdie

A sneaky "reptile" author whom some Muslims once considered Public Enemy #1.

Salamander Rushdie is a prime example of the "lizard people" whom some conspiracy theorists believe are running this world from behind the scenes.

Murphy's Law of Clothes-drying

Similar to the old "wax your car if you want it to rain" joke, this saying reads: "It can be mild and sunny for days on end, but then just as soon as you hang out a whole bunch o' laundry to dry, THAT'S when da sun will abruptly disappear behind huge dark clouds and you'll have a bleepin' MONSOON FOR A WEEK!"

The weather had been totally "bright 'n' balmy" for a good while, and so one afternoon last week I tried to save money and electricity by using my clothesline instead of the watts-sucking dryer, but then it rained heavily during the night, and it's been foggy and drizzly ever since! Sounds like a classic case of "Murphy's Law of Clothes-drying" to me.

redial refrain

The rapid little multi-note musical ditty that you hear when you press "redial" on a touch-tone phone.

I got a busy signal for three quarters of an hour before I finally got through to a live person in customer service --- here's a case where I am indeed glad dat my phone has auto-redial, but I got soooo tired of hearing dat 0%!$&#@ 11-note redial refrain over and over every half-minute!

Vin Da Boner

The infamous leftist television-producer who only hires people whose appearance gives him a reaction "down there".

Showing up in a skimpy outfit for a job-interview might indeed give you a somewhat better chance of being hired by Vin Da Boner, but race tends to be more of a deciding factor for him than just attractive physical appearance.

promonition

A predictive feeling about whether or not you will receive a promotion.

I don't usually have much confidence in fortune-tellers, especially when they claim to have promonitions about local corporate ladder-climbers.

allieance

A falsehood-based collusion/collaboration with someone else.

Due to so many allieances, "witnesses" are often useless for finding out what really happened, since they can all be untruthful in what they testify about.
