kayacker

A verbose member of a recreational-paddlers group who refuses to just "shut up and enjoy da sounds of nature".
One would do well to verbally interview each prospective member of a whitewater-adventure expedition prior to signing them on, to lessen da chance of having any kayackers in said group!

affidavid

The only so-called "proof" we have that the defeating of Goliath even took place.
I am not gonna just automatically/unquestioningly accept the truth of a "historic event" that supposedly happened millennia ago, just on the murky word of some half-baked affidavid!

Murphy's Law of Engine-Idling Duration

"If you leave your vehicle's engine running during a delay in proceeding (traffic-jam, road construction, accident-resolution, "stuck" red signal-light, etc.), you will be sitting there for many minutes, just wasting gas. The instant you turn the key off and climb out of your seat to stretch, however, THAT'S when the line of traffic will begin moving again, and thus you will have shut off your engine "for nothing", AND you will now be holding up everyone behind you while you hastily hop back into the driver's seat and re-start the engine so that you can move forward again."
I finally took da plunge and bought a second-hand Toyota Prius because I'd eventually had one too many cases of Murphy's Law of Engine-Idling Duration... the Prius automatically shuts down its power during stand-stills, and then uses its electric motor to provide instant mobility as soon as you're ready to go again.

playback's a b***h

What an accuser smugly utters after an audio recording or video-footage-clip conclusively proves that a protester-of-innocence did indeed commit the misdeed he was accused of.
Teenage delinquent: I swear, Officer --- I absolutely positively unquestionably DID NOT spray that graffiti on that shop window!! Why, I wasn't even THERE at that time --- I was down at the lake, just gazin' up at the stars and mindin' my own business!
Security guard: Really --- were you, now? Well, my young friend, let's just you and me take a little stroll over to the mall's CCTV-monitoring room, and pull the tape of last night's parking-lot activity.
Teenage delinquent, seeing the greenish-white IR-lighted security-camera footage of himself being very busy with his spray-cans on the store's front sidewalk: But --- but --- I --- this just can't --- I ---
Security guard (giving the flustered youth a self-satisfied smile and shaking his head with a "caught in the act after all, eh, son?" expression): Yeah, I know --- playback's a b***h, isn't it?!

mediyoker

Da level of results dat da farmer in da famous "200 dachshund" Sprint ad got who had bulk-ordered giant-sized cattle to be paired in wooden draft-animal-attachment assemblies.
Unless you use a Sprint-brand cell phone wif clear static-free sound and a picture-screen to order yer livestock, you might end up wif "mediyoker" results --- i.e., dozens of tiny wiener-dogs all cluelessly blinking up at you in mild puzzlement after either having widely-encircling lassos plop down nearly or being placed on da ground within da huge wagon-hauling hoops --- rather than enormous powerful horned o-x-e-n to properly harness up and use to pull yer heavy hay-carts.

Whigwam

Da traditionally-designed Native-American dwelling-structure where da likes of Paul Revere or Sam Adams would stay overnight if they went to attend pow-wows to negotiate political matters and/or resource-management wif da headdress-wearing members of their countrymen.
A Whigwam would be constructed just like any other traditional Native-American abode; da only difference would be dat it would have an American flag flying from its peak, so dat da villagers would know which dwelling to go to if they needed to speak wif their "white man" visitor.

farbitration

Court-wranglings regarding long distances.
Farbitration gets even more complicated if you hafta keep converting between standard and metric length-measurements --- i.e., miles or kilometers.
