defisit

Da degree of da lack of seats in a given locale.
After Rodney Merchfield had sold all of da office doors at da Merchfield Lead Company, he started rounding up all of da chairs and couches, as well, creating a huge defisit for anyone seeking relief for his weary legs and feet.

A do-it-yourselfer who never discards the little screwdriver-tips that come in boxes of torx deck-screws, even though there's always a fresh bit included in every box of screws.
My buddies jokingly call me a compulsive torx-bit saver because I don't throw out still-usable screwdriver-tips from boxes of screws, but I figger that, hey --- I already paid for the tips when I bought the screws, so why not save them in case I need one to use with other screws in the future?

firing order

Da unique progressive sequence in which da head of a service-garage sacks each of his dumb-a** mechanics due to their screwing up da placement of da ignition-wires on car-engines dat they're workings on.
Tronald Dump was notoriously heavy-handed and irrationally flippant about terminating da employment of his hapless apprentices, so it's a good thing he didn't run a garage where they repaired ignition-systems, or his firing order would likely have been even more despicable; besides, I seriously doubt dat his "rich 'n' pampered Daddy's-boy" fingers have ever even experienced handling a wrench or screwdriver to actually do any auto-repairs of his own, and so he would have no room to talk, anyway. Why, he probably couldn't even understand or follow da written/drawn instructions in a Haynes repair manual, and so how could he possibly be justified in criticizing anyone else if said naive laborer goofs up once in a while???

crawmom

A female crayfish. Illegal to harvest, since they are "our future" of crayfish stock, just like female lobsters.
I hear that soon they're gonna start mandating that fishermen clip a V-notch in crawmom's tails to distinguish them from crawdads, just as they have to do with lobsters.

Calvin Act

A law dat states dat you can sneak off with a fellow human's toy animals and hold them for ransom.
Da Calvin Act may permit ransom-seeking absconding with a stuffed bunny, but da oppositely-worded --- i.e., extortion-FORBIDDING --- Hobbs Act (or in this case, maybe it should be spelled, "Hobbes") is da one dat Susie violated by absconding with said stuffed tiger. Dunno if a court would deal particularly harshly with Susie for her breaking said latter law, however, since her actions were merely done in an effort to get her own plaything --- "Mr. Bun" --- back from da former law's greedy-opportunist creator.

sensory multitasking

Where you simultaneously partake of two or more forms of media, food, etc. which involve utilizing different senses (listening, reading, tasting, etc.), in order to accomplish more ventures in the same span of time.
One common and excellent form of sensory multitasking would be to preview an instrumental-work recording while perusing your e-mails; since you do not use the same parts of your brain for reading words as you do in determining whether or not you like a particular piece of non-lyrical music, you can catch up on your messages and still decide whether you want to purchase a CD of the tunes you're listening to.

derivetive

An alternatively-configured securing-device dat is designed somewhat-similarly to a standard "heat 'n' hammer" or "squeeze 'n' pop" fastener.
Molly-bolt and toggle-style drywall anchors are good examples of derivetives.
