pulpitations

Tremors and involuntary shivers caused by either spending too long in church, or being overwhelmed by one or more powerful sermons.

I generally feel turned off (and usually **turn off** the TV or radio as a result) when I hear an evangelist roaring about Hellfire and brimstone... what do they want me to do --- get major pulpitations just from listening to those ego-inflated frauds rail about non-important issues???

motell

One of those modern-day inns where they have hidden video-cameras in your room so that they can rat on you to the authorities, your significant other, etc.

Whenever I meet a new chick, I much prefer to either take her home or go camping wif her rather than renting a room --- there are way too many motells nowadays where they fail to keep a "discreet encounter" very discreet!

schoing to ghoul

How it actually feels to a young person when just starting out in his education.

If kindergarten teachers and other faculty would actually take the time and effort to truly make beginner-students feel welcome and unafraid, it would feel a lot less like "schoing to ghoul" to said shy/timid youngsters.

naturally salted butter

Da result of a lazy-a** teenager's being made to do his share of da housework by hand-churning cream, and shedding copious tears about having to perform said boring/arduous task.

Once motorized butter-making machinery was invented, da term "naturally salted butter" referred to simply sprinkling on da crystally-white stuff by hand.

arrowgance

What da over-confident Sheriff of Nottingham's dragoons possessed when they first tried pursuing Robin Hood and his Merry Men, not realizing what good riders and sharpshooters said bow-wielding horsemen actually were.

In one famous Dukes of Hazzard car-chase, Boss Hogg's evil henchmen guffawingly scoffed when they saw Bo and Luke using bows and arrows as weapons against the mercs' own seemingly-superior firearms, but their arrowgance was short-lived when one of the Duke Boys' dynamite-tipped arrows exploded their car's engine and thus ended their pursuit for the time being.

highbawling

What a loudly-vocal youngster engages in while "puttin' da pedal to da metal" trying to elude a pursuing grownup with a spoon or syringe full of medicine, forkful of yucky-tasting vegetable, bath sponge, or other undesirable object dat's intended for his supposed benefit, but which he desires no part of.

Taking da soft approach to parenting --- and seeking more-palatable alternatives --- can gently ease your little ones into accepting necessary unpleasantries like nap-time or schooling, greatly reducing da occasions when they may feel dat highbawling is required.

Chippewa at it

To gradually labor through a task or conundrum regarding Native American culture.

Preserving and arranging ancient arrowheads in an attractive museum display takes a lot of patience and effort, but if you just Chippewa at it, you'll eventually complete da task.
