external-combustion engine

A fluid-fuel-powered motor that is so poorly designed/maintained that its exterior actually catches fire.
One should periodically check "under the hood" for oil-leaks to reduce the chance of said power-plant's becoming an external-combustion engine.

parsonmonious

Refers to the behavior of a clergyman whom his parishioners view as "stingy with the till", whereby he seems to not spend the church's donations freely enough for their intended purposes, such as to help the community's needy, perform upkeep on the church building, etc.
Ever since that new pastor came to town, the chiurch's bankroll has indeed fattened considerably, but the church has gotten kinda dingy-looking, and the low-income locals have been complaining of feeling ignored and neglected --- sounds like parsonmonious behavior to me!

A pressure-applying device dat is kept in a sports-arena's first-aid kit "just in case".
All professional ball games have safe-conduct rules to hopefully prevent injuries, but one should still always keep at least one tourneyquet on hand at all times, 'cuz "ya never know".

fartionate

Describes the beneficial status of someone's passing gas, such as the timing, quantity/odoriferousness, decibel-volume, etc. of said whizzpopper, which gave you an unexpected break; perhaps it allowed you a "second chance", covered some other embarrassing/revealing noise, changed the subject, relieved an awkward silence, etc.
Unexpected anal-eruptions can also be decidedly "UNfartionate", as well, such as when you're in the middle of "delicately" undressing a hot chick in preparation for sex, giving someone a massage or soothing/comforting embrace, etc.
