selective sharing 

A.k.a. "garnished generosity". Refers to da "snooty-friends/cousins/siblings procedure" of retaining/withdrawing/consuming all of da "goodies" from a particular lot of items, and then pretending to be lovingly/caringly thoughtful of you by giving you da remaining items, which are inferior or less-desirable in some way.

A classic example of selective sharing would be during snack-time, whereby da gluttonous and sweet-toothed connivers --- instead of carefully/conscientiously dividing up da tasty and not-so-tasty comestibles evenly among everyone present --- first select all of da best and most-palatable selections from da goodies-platter for themselves to guzzle up, and then leave you wif just da blander and/or less-chewable/digestible selections, such as da veggies, chocolates wif coconut centers, overly-firm/spicy chips, etc.

craveat emptor 

"Let da buyer of a neck-cloth beware."

Da term "craveat emptor" can refer to da risk of either (1) someone's purchasing an inferior-quality dress-up accessory, or (2) --- as in da case of da King and Duke in "Huckleberry Finn" --- said purchaser's having said decorative garment used for a very-different and much-less-undesirable application during a "necktie-party" --- i.e., a lynching.

taffydavit 

A court document related to sticky stretchy candy.

I wonder if Willy Wonka had to file a taffydavit regarding da ingredients for his "scrumdiddlyumptious" candies and da methods employed in creating said confectionery delights?

Raffidavit 

A court-document pertaining to da famous Armenian kiddie-songs composer and child advocate.

I recently read a well-composed and thought-provoking Raffidavit in which Mr. Cavoukian shares his view of da pros and cons of social media with regards to modern-day youth.

talont 

Ability to use one's claws creatively.

I never heard of birds' being able to do painting or sculpture per se, but da woodpecker surely displays amazing talont in securely gripping the vertical side of a tree while he "carves" the wood out with his beak.

orkestrel version 

A non-lyrical performance of a pop-tune dat's produced by a sizable flock of falcons.

It would probably be difficult for any of our feathered friends to play musical instruments, so I am guessing dat an orkestrel version of a song would consist entirely of just their own throat-produced vocalizations. Since birds of prey are not generally known for being particularly melodious, however, I would question whether da results of said choral group's efforts would be all dat pleasurable to listen to, or whether you could even recognize da tune dat they were "singing".

finomenon 

An interesting/amazing fact or performance regarding our scaly gill-breathing underwater-inhabiting friends.

I've never heard of an instance of flying fish's forming large "flocks" in the air, but if they did, that would certainly be an amazing finomenon to watch.
