sighchiatry

Da study of what people's assorted deep heaving breaths and various impatient wheezes mean about their deeper selves and personalities.

Different people can mean wildly different things by how they inhale and exhale, so sighchiatry may not be a very reliable method to accurately analyze someone.

exspectreant

A lungs-clearing medicine dat you take after you've seen one or more ghosts.

Charles Dickens says nothing about Scrooge's doing any loud hacking during his encounters wif Jacob Marley and da three Christmas-periods spirits, so perhaps he was on exspectreants at da time.

giggle-gurgle

Fizzy carbonated ("sparkling") water. So named because it gurgles on its way down yer throat, and ya giggle when it tickles yer tonsils.

Plain water or fruit juice is all well and good, but I love giggle-gurgle, especially on a hot day --- nuthin' like that bubbly "bite" to soothe your dry palate and "deeply" quench your thirst.

probaytion

Da "let's see if you can behave yourself socially" period dat Bowser da hound-dog gets put on due to excessive howling and general noisy carrying-on.

The Basenji hound would never need to be put on probaytion because it cannot bark to begin with.

cover all the bases

Refers to where you behave responsibly during all of the progression through the various stages of intimacy, taking appropriate measures to protect both of you against undesirable things like infection or "accidental" pregnancy.

The best ways to "cover all the bases" with a new romantic partner are:
First base (i.e., hugging, holding hands, foot/back-rubs, etc.): Taking deeply-cleansing showers beforehand, brushing teeth, trimming hair and nails, etc.
Second base (i.e., kissing, close snuggling, sharing non-intimate full-body massages while wearing just a bathing suit or undies, etc.): Taking all steps described in "first base", plus using breath-fresheners, antiperspirants, soothing and/or aromatic oils, etc.
Third base (i.e., French kissing, naked cuddling, intimate massages, sleeping together, etc.): Taking all steps described in "first base" and "second base", plus having easy access to a warm/cold shower at all times, keeping the bedroom a comfy temperature, etc.
Fourth base (i.e., handjobs/blowjobs, "going all the way", etc.): Taking all steps described in first three "bases", plus having plenty of condoms and/or personal lubricant handy, keeping tissues and damp wash-cloths within easy reach to clean up "messy" aftermaths, having changes of sheets and pillowcases to put on the bed if necessary, etc.

diabeetes

A supposedly-existing illness incurred from chowing down on too many disgusting-tasting/textured red globular veggies.

Eating beets won't give you "diabeetes" (and in fact, "said red" veggies may actually often **help** wif da "real deal" unstable-blood-sugar disorder), but if your toddler hates to eat dem, you don't need to force dem on him, since there are plenty of alternative foods dat will provide him wif comparable nutritional properties --- examples of usually-more-palatable-and-also-antioxidant-rich delicacies include blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, purple or red grapes, etc.
