adranoline rush

Da euphoric "flood of joy and relief" dat you get upon discovering dat da drain-opener you poured down da sink actually did indeed clear da clog, and so your plumbing is flowing freely again.
In one of da classic "Jack Benny" radio episodes, Rochester tells Mary dat Jack's habit of buying canned goods dat have no labels (because they're "cheapuh") means dat when he and Jack sit down to dinner, it's like a mystery program (Mary: "You mean, 'Who dunnit'?" Rochester: "No --- 'What's In It'!"). He then confides to her dat "one night we had Drano for dessert!" Ordinarily drinking this caustic cocktail would severely injure or even kill you, of course, but I guess dat da idea here is dat Jack and Rochester are "such big tough guys" dat day can easily handle consuming it without any significant ill effects --- most likely they'd just get an adranoline rush.

direhea

A totally-horrendous bout of "loose stool" distress.
My insides tend to "react" very strongly to new foods or unusual combinations of ingredients, and so I try to only partake of these "potentially-problematic" comestibles when I'm just by myself at home instead of in a public setting or "out in the sticks", so that I can quickly/unobtrusively run to the bathroom --- and have easy access to appropriate "clean-up" facilities/resources --- in case of any bouts of direhea.

nightmayor

A citizen's grimly-humorous term for a local "head-honcho from Hell".
Possum Lake's perpetually-re-elected "top dog", Wally "Kickback" Kibler, originally got his job only through the shady political finagling of his also-an-elected-county-official wife, is suspected of rigging the town's voting-machines, is stingy with the public funds, gives and receives bribes from the town's socially-prominent, and takes more bleepin' vacations than George Bush --- what a nightmayor!

promisery note

A contract that typically gives moderate-to-acute grief to one or both parties.
Lending money is never a good idea, but it can be especially painful between family and friends, since their promisery notes can create tension in their amicable feelings if things do not proceed exactly as planned.

Da infamous "Arab ousted from his tent by his chilly beast of burden" tale has become such a big and well-known story dat one might say dat said four-legged animal is quite da dramadary!

aFordable

Describes the cost of the base-model Tin Lizzie, if you didn't factor in the infamous "nickle 'em to death" subsequent maintenance-bills due to the shoddy quality/durability of the flivver's parts!
Disgruntled teenager: My parents offered me my choice of a birthday gift, as long as it was "aFordable", and so I'd naively interpreted that to mean that they were gonna buy me a car --- what a disappointment it was when I learned that they had merely meant that they were setting a limit of twenty-five dollars on the gift's cost!
