conditioneral gift

Refers to a bottle of Alberto VO5 dat you give someone wif da stipulation dat dey actually use it on their hair.

If you give a gal a bottle of post-shampooing hair-tonic, I think it is generally implied and understood dat said bottle is a "conditioneral gift" --- i.e., she is sposta actually apply it to her scalp during her showers, not just set it aside and let it gather dust.

I wonder what the "Al" in Al Berta's name stood for --- was is "Albert", or was it was Alfred or Allen?

lessatorium

A state/federal mandate dat significantly reduces/limits da quantity or frequency of some formerly-liberal allowance, consumption, practice, etc. of a particular commodity, activity, freedom, etc.

Why do they call it a "moreatorium" when it's actually a severe cutback or elimination of whatever formerly-rampant practice was being curtailed? Sounds "more" like a "lessatorium" to me!

chappaquidditch

A dangerous game played by witches and wizards while riding in Oldsmobile Delmont 88 sedans; da game consists of players' trying to swiftly traverse a narrow unlit bridge at nighttime, without falling off da edge.

I dunno if Ted Kennedy and/or Mary Jo Kopechne were attempting an impromptu game of "chappaquidditch" on that fateful night in mid-July of 1969, but I cannot see how they would have even known about da game at dat time, since da "Harry Potter" authoress had only been born less than four years earlier, and so she could not possibly have started writing her famous novels till much later.

In an episode of da "Red Green Show", several Possum Lodge members try to impersonate Da Tennessee Troubadour by doing hilariously-outrageous Pelvis Resley renditions, but Red and Harold are visibly unimpressed.
