poultergeist

What Chicken Little and her domesticated avian buddies would each have become if Foxy Loxy had succeeded in his carnivorous venture.

Da term "poultergeist" can also refer to da ghostly spirit of someone who had formerly worked with flocks of game-birds, and now goes around haunting da farmyard areas where he used to work. One has to wonder if perhaps he met his untimely demise due to his shady dealings during said care-taking employment, such as if he'd behaved like "a fox guarding a hen-house" in dat he'd been secretly snitching a few of da choicest members of his flocks to put on his own dinner-table!

enginuity

Clever creativity with engines.

On his YouTube channel, Ron Pratt and his father drive their Polaris 4X4 deep into the woods to retrieve a stuck rental-van. Ron's father uses a combination of the side-by-side's electric winch and simultaneously revving the quad's motor to spin the alternator faster and thus create more pulling-capacity for the winch --- that's real enginuity.

nominal embrace

Refers to a merely “in name only” type of hug that you give someone whom you do not actually have romantic/affectionate feelings toward, but are just “going through the motions” to be polite/agreeable.

There are various reasons why one might administer a nominal embrace; the most common situations might be (A) you are giving the other person a proxy hug as a favor for someone else, or (B) you are at a party, wedding, or other social gathering where “everyone is doing it” --- i.e., giving a hug --- to one or more “special” attendees, such as the hostess, "birthday boy/girl", the newlyweds, etc., or (C) the huggee is either mentally challenged and thus craves “cuddly attention” from everyone around him, or he is presently going through a rough time in his life, and thus he needs all the emotional support he can get.

melancallie

A dreary mood due to someone's not phoning you when you'd expected or wanted him/her to.

In a classic "Miss Piggy's Advice" column in Muppet Magazine, a mid-teenage lad complains about how his main squeeze always suffers a major bout of melancallie whenever he isn't able to "give her a jingle" in the evening, despite his repeatedly having explained to her that he's a farmer boy and thus has chores that often prevent him from being free to simply sit and "yack on the horn" for half an hour. He finishes his message to said "sage sow" by indignantly asking her, "So what am I supposed to do?!" Being a selfish brat herself --- AND a fierce feminist --- said pink-skinned flat-nosed advisor unhelpfully snorts back, "You're supposed o call her." Some help SHE turned out to be there! :P
