joevial

Describes da all-warm-and-fuzzy mood dat you attain AFTER you'd had your morning coffee.
I am allergic to caffeine and I am jittery enough as it is, so I generally avoid any an all stimulants; I just try to be cheerful and pleasant all the time, not merely "joevial".

attétude

A short musical composition that denotes the cranky demeanor that one or more people were in at the time when the work was written.
I guess that the musical pieces by Chopin and Liszt are palatable to some people, but I find a lot of them to just be crash-bash attétudes with little melodious appeal.

We're biting for your life

What lobster parents say when they take a small nip out of their youngsters' tails so that if a lobsterman catches the lobsters sometime later, he has to throw them back. The amended v-notch law now states that if you catch a lobster that has a bit missing from its tail where a v-notch could have been, you have to throw it back, since it might have been previously v-notched by a fisherman to mark it as an egg-bearing female.
Lobster mom: We're biting for your life.
Lobstermen: What about **our** lives?? You're reducing our income by preventing us from harvesting a lot of legal lobsters!

Thirdsday

Da "number of strikes and yer out" day of da week, if you start counting from "TWOsday". :P

call on Line 1

A "diplomatic" way of saying that you need to drain the radiator.
I'd thought I needed to answer just a call on Line 1 from Mother Nature, but it turned out that both of my "lines" were "ringing"... I hadda take a call on Line 2, as well.

anti-sway bar

A stick of candy dat you bribe someone with in order to keep him from being "convinced otherwise" by one or more fellow humans who might try to get him to change his presently-in-agreement-with-you viewpoint.
Anti-sway bars can indeed sometimes be an effective way to keep someone "on your team", but it can also prevent said person from honestly pondering a particular topic or issue and then forming his own unbiased opinion about said subject, similar to how main-stream religion often does.

cocaophony

Da deafening clamor of excited voices and pattering feet dat you always hear when announcing dat da hot chocolate is ready.
In da "Polar Express" movie, there was quite a cocaophony from both da children AND da servers when da steaming kettles of traditional Christmas liquid-refreshments were being wheeled out.
