haltercation

A noisy dust-up over either: (1) what type of leather/cloth-straps apparatus should be used on a horse's head, or (2) da type/style of upper-body garment dat a chick chooses to wear in public.

Some teenage-girl horse-lovers like to ride around town without anything on their horse's face (they care so much for their horse's comfort that they don't want him to endure any possibly-chafing straps) and without much of anything on THEMSELVES, either --- i.e., they like to wear very brief/revealing clothing --- and so there are always lots of haltercations with their conservative-minded parents dat flare up whenever said chicks are preparing to head out for a clip-clop.

suboredinate

An underling who's tasked wif merely "sawdusty dry" jobs dat are neither interesting nor rewarding.

Ethan Couch wanted to be coddled and entertained 24/7, so his taking a job in da regular workforce would likely be intolerable to him --- he'd probably feel like a suboredinate no matter what form of employment he tried.

interfearons

A special blend of "power proteins" dat cure virus-caused illnesses by scaring said micro-nasties to death.

They say dat startling a hiccupper can sometimes cure him, so maybe dat's another form of "interfearons". I often find, though, dat simply relaxing near a heat source (because, of course, being stressed and/or chilly may often be what had messed up your tummy's equilibrium in da first place) and taking a quick swallow of apple-cider vinegar to "frizzle yer gizzard" will painlessly shock your body into ceasing da throat-convulsing intervals.

popperazzi

Eager-beaver reporters who go around covering the stories of people who make lots of "exploding cereal" to either sell or pass out to their family and friends.

I always make my "firecracker corn" in a soundproof room so as not to attract any popperazzi to my door.

institootion

Where you get sent for treatment if you fart excessively.

In the Laurel and Hardy comedy, "Saps At Sea", Dr. Finlayson informs Ollie that he is allergic to horns; perhaps an institootion might have been helpful to him, as well.

faminism

Da belief system dat is followed by many of da "better half" individuals of da modern-day world, whereby they refuse to prepare meals for their male companions unless said testosterone-steeped hulks allow them appropriate respect and equality at all times.

Maybe if Golde and all da other "makers of proper/quiet/kosher homes" in Anatevka had practiced a period of faminism, Tevya and his fellow bewhiskered residents would have been pressured by their growling tummies to cast off the shackles of their long-obsolete and debilitatingly-oppressive "traditions", and instead begin to embrace da "new way" a bit more quickly and deeply.

historionic personality disorder

A weird-a** psychological condition caused by a student's being required to take history class.

I stuck to math and science in high school so as to avoid historionic personality disorder.
