The Greed Breed

A.k.a. "closet coveters" --- i.e., people with a stronger-than-normal tendency towards grabbiness, but who usually do not openly admit it.

I hitch-hiked downtown to scavenge the waste-paper bins at the post office, looking to see if anyone had discarded any Nielsen TV Ratings Survey envelopes with two $1 bills hidden inside... yep, got to admit it --- guess I've finally joined "The Greed Breed", LOL!! Well, maybe I'm not really being greedy per se --- I mean, I just would hate to see perfectly good cash get discarded, merely because many of the junk-mail envelopes' other recipients didn't even know dat da cash was in there. Who WOULDN'T wanna pick up an easy two bucks just like that???

fewgitive

Someone who's run off from Johnny Law, but not dat many folks actually care all dat much.

If you'd left da area after merely failing to appear in court over a minor traffic violation, you would likely be considered just a fewgitive.

rowbust

Da physical condition dat a sculling competitor has to be in.

I love being on da water, but I detest noisy outboards and I've never been very rowbust, so I use an electric trolling-motor for quiet-and-effortless tootling around da lake.

Chevy chase

What da highway-patrol is obliged to engage in whenever da local hot-rodder hoodlums decide to play speed-demon in their Camaros and Corvettes.

"Chevy Chase" puns aside, Wikipedia seems to say nothing about "Da Great Triple-C" in reference to his ever taking part in street-racing, so perhaps young motor-heads were "taking da actor's name in vain" when they gleefully used this term to describe all da fun they had with outrunning da cops all over town.

centsure

To criticize someone's budgeting-skills over a penny or two.

Before he was reformed by the three spirits, Ebeneezer Scrooge took great pleasure in being extremely miserly; he would severely centsure his clerk, Bob Cratchit, for even a minuscule amount of needlessly-spent company-funds.

skitsophrenia

A crazed and delusional condition caused by reading too many b**ls**t submissions for da local school play.

I tediously waded through well over a hundred stupid-a** ideas for what we should present on junior acting night at the high school ,and now I gots a rip-roarin' case of skitsophrenia!

avocadate

A taste-buds-impaired health-food hippie who touts da main ingredient in guacamole.

I basically have a stainless-steel stomach, but even I cannot stand da yucky taste and totally-gross texture of those pebbly-black-skinned fruits with their revolting pale-green flesh --- to me, anyone who's an avocadate should have his head examined!
