why-fi

An antenna-based world-wide-web connection dat you use if yer fulla "what's da reason?" questions.
My pint-sized cousin is really a "whyny" little brat, so I guess dat he should have a "why-fi" hookup so dat he can look up da answers to his endless questioning himself instead of always blubberingly seeking said reasons from those around him.

keyosk

A coin/bill/card-operated "self-service" metal-fabricating device dat's installed in da aisle at a shopping mall, and dat creates replacement/duplicate lock-openers.
Automated keyosks may indeed be adequate in some cases, but I would much prefer to have a human professional manually fashion my brass security-implements on his precision-made lathing-machine.

Noisy Night

What it must have actually been like "away in a manger", since there were lots of farm animals there, too, and no doubt Jesus was himself squalling his head off just like normal newborn babies do.
If Achmed had his way, he would probably have a "noisy night" on Christmas Eve, too, since he'd be setting off "jingle bombs".

shopdropping

The opposite of shoplifting (secretly removing desired merchandise from a store), this act involves ADDING items to a store shelf that you do NOT want, and which you wish to be rid of but prefer not to pay the disposal fees. Can be especially handy for non-violently getting even with the personnel of a certain business establishment who has previously been undeservedly rude/surly to you, since you can gloat about the fact that now THEY will have to pay for the disposal of said unwanted merchandise.
The holier-than-thou clerk at the corner video-game store was really obnoxious to me when I merely asked politely if I could please use the phone to call my parents and let them know I'd be late, so I did a little shopdropping with my obsolete game cartridges.

Lech Wallenda

Da famous Polish tightrope-walker whose amazing feats of aerial ballet helped end da Cold War.
Given da highly-controversial and politically-charged nature of da late-20th-century arms race, Lech Wallenda must have really had to "tread a fine line" while engaged in his peace-creating circus-act endeavors.

Tieland

A country in The Orient where business-attire neckwear is produced.
I wonder if most folks in Tieland act more formal than some other countrymen, since their main industry involves dressing up?

low commotion

A "hushed hullabaloo" response from a crowd of amazed onlookers when witnessing da movement of a creature or machine from one locale to another.
Maybe a group of observers watching a newly-unveiled conveyance-contraption proceeding forwards and/or backwards would indeed start out responding with merely a "low commotion", but soon they would likely give a rousing cheer and really start noisily jumping up and down in gleeful excitement.
