wrist-clap

Where ya gently grasp someone's wrists in yer hands and softly clap his palms together in a varying rhythmic "cadence".

Wrist-clap is mostly popular with small children, but cute chicks sometimes enjoy having a nice guy perform it with their hands, too; it's a simple form of playfully expressing affectionate tenderness.

opposite-sidewalks stroll

Refers to where you and an acquaintance go for a jaunt along a street or nature-trail, but you each walk "separately" on either side of the lane instead of just traipsing along side-by-side in the usual way. This less-common practice could be for any of a variety of reasons, such as that the area's sidewalks are simply too narrow for two people to safely walk double-file, or that you and your companion are cleaning up trash along both sides of the road, or perhaps you're helping each other to look for one or more scattered items that got accidentally dropped sometime earlier.

Another good purpose for an opposite-sidewalks stroll would be if your walking-companion owes you some money that he presently has no way of paying back, and so you and he are collecting discarded returnable containers along the local roadways to earn a little additional cash towards the amount that he owes you. Extra points if your buddy willingly carries all the bags as they get filled with returnables, so that you yourself don't have to expend so much effort on his behalf; a six-cubic-foot-capacity plastic-tubbed wheelbarrow is a handy accessory here, to help ease this "weighty" burden.

super-careful, frugalistic, extra-tally-conscious

What Mary Poppins has to be whenever money is tight.

The movie got it all wrong --- the Banks family had not been having trouble with mean/colorless nannies; the nannies had all just been over-indulgent of the children, and so Mr. Banks hired Mary Poppins to teach his little ones about self-denial, willpower, and wise money-management --- Mary taught them to be "super-careful, frugalistic, extra-tally-conscious" when necessary.

pork and beans

Sarcastic term for a corpulent dude who breaks wind frequently.

Da rotund Benny Franklin would be a good candidate for a "pork and beans" example, especially since he actually wrote da infamous "Fart Proudly" essay.

eye-beam

A structural/support-column of varying size --- i.e., ranging anywhere from a simple length of 1X3 strapping all the way up to a bleepin' GIANT SEQUOIA trunk, depending on how big a hypocrite someone is --- located in the orbital-cavity of many humans, particularly sniffy-arrogant tongue-cluckers and overly-critical finger-waggers who squintingly notice minute specks of sawdust in other people's eyes.

It should be unnecessary to actually purchase much if any framing-lumber to build a new church; one initially only needs to invite large numbers of people to come to an outdoor service in a vacant lot, and then just cast out all their eye-beams and stack them up in a huge pile at once side of the lot... as we all know, the bulk of church-attendees are major hypocrites, anyway, and so there should be no shortage of 2X4 studs, 4X4 posts, floor-truss members, railroad-ties, etc. Extra points if you also ask each member of said congregation to bring a handful of nails; you should then be able to start construction immediately! And don't fret that said holy sanctum is being fabricated from sinful materials --- it's common knowledge that most churches were "built on hypocrisy" anyway, so you should be all good.

arreinment

A court-hearing regarding one or more purported wrongdoings while either perched in da saddle or driving a horse-drawn conveyance of some kind.

If there had been a proper arreinment regarding Genuine Risk's being illegally/unethically prevented from winning da 1980 Preakness Stakes due to da atrocious actions of her opponent's jockey, perhaps she would have gotten her totally-deserved winner's status.

scoopervision

Monitoring how someone shovels snow, cleans da litterbox, etc.

Even fairly-small children can easily learn how to use simple beach-toy implements to build a sandcastle, so there should be little need for adult scoopervision once they get da hang of it.
