Aprilday

A fake-emergency radio-call that a mischievous pilot makes on the first day of the fourth month, just as a joke.
One should **never** make "Aprilday" distress-transmissions -- no matter WHAT the date --- since not only may it needlessly consume valuable resources and panic rescue-workers, but such "crying wolf" shenanigans can also cause emergency-response personnel to then incorrectly ignore legitimate requests for help, since they will merely think, "Here we go again" if said completely-genuine call comes in at around that date. It's actually happened in the past, where rescue-workers have impatiently refused to respond to a real call for help because "they thought it was just an April Fool's joke".

LOTTO padlock

A key-operated safety-device to secure a gaming-ticket-printing/processing machine while maintenance is being performed.
I don't approve of gambling in any form or in associating with it in any way, so I would not ever have a need for a LOTTO padlock, since I would always refuse to even assemble or repair a machine that was used in any facet of game-of-chance operations.

absirred

absirred

Describes a ridiculous situation or attribute regarding a male organism.
Worrying about da size or specific shape of yer family jewels is totally absirred --- if you can still father healthy offspring, dat is all dat should matter.

double-blind study

A medical experiment where neither the testers nor the subjects have any idea what they're doing or what the actual risks might be. Why, for all the testers know, they themselves might also be accidentally ingesting the substance under test and be totally unaware of this fact, as well --- NOT a healthy or safe situation.
The infamous ‘Elephant Man’ drugs-trial --- all six of the test-subjects nearly died --- is a classic case of a double-blind study gone horribly wrong --- talk about the blind leading the blind!

deafense

A supposedly-justifying/forgiving argument regarding a disputed action/event dat you claim occurred due to your not having da sharpest hearing capabilities.
During embarrassing questioning by da press, Prez Reagan often claimed to be hard-of-hearing --- or dat da noisy helicopter made it impossible for him to make out what da reporters were asking him --- yet he seemed to hear more-desirable queries, statements, or remarks just fine, so I'm not sure how valid a deafense this was!

hemhawrhoids

Major pain-in-the-ass condition of acute indecisiveness that often causes mild-to-extreme physical/emotional/mental discomfort, inconvenience, confusion/resentment/impatience/exhaustion, etc. for all those involved, plus the major waste of time/opportunities/resources, inefficiency/stagnation, needless delays/cost-overruns, etc..
It is an erroneous belief that someone with hemhawrhoids can be cured/hurried along with a good kick in the rear end --- he's already a sore-natured a**h**e, and so any further physical trauma "back there" will only make his condition worse. Smearing on summa dat Pfizer-brand cream dat comes in a tube might indeed help wid da pain somewhat, but I don't know about significant improvement in da slowness-to-make-up-his-mind part of the equation.
