PALimony

A monthly bribe dat you hafta pay a shamelessly-opportunistic techno-geek for him to let you use his special universal-playback VCR to watch your UK-formatted VHS videotapes.

I always make standard NTSC-formatted DVD copies of foreign-encoded videotapes so that I can keep my PALimony payments to a minimum.

ornerary member

Someone who doesn't technically qualify as a fellow crony, but whom da members allow to tag along anyway due to his cranky persistence in his efforts to join said group.

Walter is such a grouch dat one wonders how he ever managed to become part of Jeff Dunham's show; perhaps Jeff made him an ornerary member rather than listen to his whiny complaining about feeling left out.

our fourfathers

How da multiple offspring in many modern households would refer to da male aspect of their immediate-family lineage.

In da Red Green Show, Mike Hamar occasionally mentions his multiple dads, so if all of Mike's siblings got together to research their family tree, one might wonder whether they might speak of "our fourfathers".

Khan artist

A Khan artist would do well not to let da subject of his forgeries know about said watercolor-impersonations, or he would likely face said subject's "wrath".

antiquwitty

What a savvy vintage-merchandise dealer/buyer has to be in order not to get scammed with fake modern-day reproductions of classic items.

Rene Belloq claimed to be "antiquwitty" in that he could sell a cheap $10 trinket for a huge profit if he merely "buried it in the sand for a thousand years". The hitch, however, was that he would not likely be around long enough after burying said object to reap his rewards.

Mel Blanc always had to rest up before voicing the staccato-speaking Elmer Fudd, in order to maintain his stammerna long enough to voice the entire episode.
