purrformance

The great "show" of "throat-thunder" that Fluffy puts on when he's contented.
The only occasions that the selfish Garfield does a purrformance are when he either wants something or is trying to cover up/minimize some disaster he caused, such as eating one of Jon's ferns or shredding the curtains/furniture.

firing order

Da unique progressive sequence in which da head of a service-garage sacks each of his dumb-a** mechanics due to their screwing up da placement of da ignition-wires on car-engines dat they're workings on.
Tronald Dump was notoriously heavy-handed and irrationally flippant about terminating da employment of his hapless apprentices, so it's a good thing he didn't run a garage where they repaired ignition-systems, or his firing order would likely have been even more despicable; besides, I seriously doubt dat his "rich 'n' pampered Daddy's-boy" fingers have ever even experienced handling a wrench or screwdriver to actually do any auto-repairs of his own, and so he would have no room to talk, anyway. Why, he probably couldn't even understand or follow da written/drawn instructions in a Haynes repair manual, and so how could he possibly be justified in criticizing anyone else if said naive laborer goofs up once in a while???

"junk" filter abuse

Where you falsely tag one or more legitimate e-mails as "spam" merely because you'd prefer not to read the messages due to their containing unwelcome content, such as reminding you that you owe money, are responsible for performing certain arduous/unpleasant tasks, etc.
Practicing "junk" filter abuse may indeed prevent unwelcome e-mails from showing up in your inbox, but it merely "delays the inevitable"... the chickens are still gonna come home to roost eventually (i.e., your creditors and/or da cops are still gonna come knocking on your door in da end), but by then they will be "cackling mad" at your selfish/offhanded ignoring of them and their genuine issues with you, and so they will likely scatter poop and loose feathers all over you (i.e., deal with you a lot more harshly) when they finally arrive on your doorstep, rather than just placidly settling down in their stalls for the night, the way they probably would have if you had simply addressed their concerns in a timely/appropriate manner in da first place!

debutaunt

A derisive/overly-critical remark made by a "spoiled rich-kid" type newcomer who has no idea what the other people are going through or how things are customarily done in that setting.
Youth-camp activities-director: Summer camp sure is a lot more pleasant without any debutaunts assailing our ears. Unfortunately, though --- especially since this is a family-income-based sliding-scale membership-price facility --- the managers of the camp feel obliged to accept the bratty "upper crust" offspring along with the usually-much-better-behaved middle-and-lower-class-family kids, since these little monsters' well-off parents pay a lot more to have their kids come here, and so the camp gets a large percentage of their operating-funds from these highfalutin families.

post dramatic stress disorder

Da freaked-out and exhausted emotions dat you experience after "heavy-duty" social interactions invoking minor/petty/non-existent issues dat one or more self-important and/or fame-seeking fellow humans have blown way outta proportion. Think, da red-faced and utterly-drained feeling you'd feel in grade school when da teacher would "make a Federal case" outta some extremely minor error or dispute/misunderstanding between you and one of her bratty/conceited classroom "pets".
I never bother reading "Dear Abby" anymore; too many of the letters are just preposterously-immature social-tiffs about stupidly-asinine interpersonal issues --- disgustedly wading through all of that usually gives me a major case of post dramatic stress disorder afterwards!

compulsive torx-bit saver

A do-it-yourselfer who never discards the little screwdriver-tips that come in boxes of torx deck-screws, even though there's always a fresh bit included in every box of screws.
My buddies jokingly call me a compulsive torx-bit saver because I don't throw out still-usable screwdriver-tips from boxes of screws, but I figger that, hey --- I already paid for the tips when I bought the screws, so why not save them in case I need one to use with other screws in the future?

ransomwear

Clothing dat an extortionist either:
(A) confiscates from you so dat you would hafta embarrass yourself by walking around naked if you didn't pay up, or
(B) makes you wear during da time you're being held hostage; said duds are so hideous-looking and/or uncomfortable dat da extortionist figgers you would feel compelled to pay da demanded amount, rather than suffer da acute discomfort to your dignity and/or person of wearing said garments.
One way to possibly avoid falling victim to a ransomwear situation would be to learn how to sew and weave; this way, any available sheet-material that's fairly flexible (such as bedding, trash bags, paper, etc.), or strips of said material or even grass could be used to construct temporary clothing till the extortionist gives up on waiting for you to pay up, after which you can then obtain replacement duds.
