Standarday 

Any "regular" day of da week other than SATurday, when you hafta STAND up and do stuff.

If SATurday is a day of da week when it's okay to rest yer butt on a seat, and Sunday is supposed to be a day of rest, does dat mean dat you can have two days off from labors each week, and so it's only on da other five "STANDARDays" dat you actually hafta git up off yer duff and do any work???

lowcation

Where ya wanna build yer house if ya are afraid of heights.

A lowcation can indeed be a less nerve-wracking homestead-spot for someone wif acrophobia, but flooding tends to be more of a problem than if you'd built on a mountaintop.

earritation 

Seething discontent at having to listen to absurd assertions, boring nonsense, etc. One of da downsides of da First Amendment, in dat da person emitting said distasteful blather is well within his rights to do so. Remember dat you are always free to get up and leave, though --- said "right to free speech" doesn't also require you to stick around and actually LISTEN to someone else's expounding about his opinions or beliefs.

Da term "earritation" can also refer to reddening/soreness inside one's auditory-canals from having excessive BS passed through them. Disposable foam earplugs are very inexpensive and readily available, though, so dat can be a viable preventative solution for said malady.

mortar and pistol

What former-Prez Ray-gun used in his various attempts to "crush" opposition to his foreign policies that were pro-big-biz at the tragic cost to the local inhabitants of said oppressed/conquered areas.

It's fortunate that the Iranian hostage-crisis was settled before "Prune-Face Ronnie" was elected, or the tense-but-stable situation might have gotten far worse if said senile loud-helicopter-utilizer had started using his "mortar and pistol" policies to try to get said captured Americans freed.
