rowrow ship

A huge cargo-vessel powered by many oarsmen.

(from an old "Tracy Twins" cartoon in "Boys Life" magazine; the twins are imaging what it might have been like to paddle a Viking longship)
First mate: Well, boys, I have good news and bad news for you --- the good news is, the captain has allowed you all thirty minutes for lunch!
Rowing crew: And what's the **bad** news?!
First mate (reluctantly): Uhhhh... the bad news is that after lunch, the captain wants to go WATER SKIING!
(And of course, the crew would be none too pleased to hear this, since it would take the term, "rowrow ship" to a whole new level --- imagine how frenziedly they would have to paddle to move the ship fast enough for someone to actually water-ski behind it!)

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.

Petty theft is indeed unfortunate, but our shameless money-hungry Big Brother is da one who REALLY needs a healthy dose of stealant!

indeafinite

Da status of not being sure whether someone is hard-of-hearing or not.

It's indeafinite whether some people who claim to be hearing-impaired are actually so; while they make everyone around them yell so that they can hear them, they also seem to know when others are whispering about them behind their backs. :P

exaspirated

Emotionally fed-up to the point where you wheeze loudly and copiously.

One can imagine how exaspirated the drama-weary faculty at Ethan Couch's school felt when his father actually offered to buy them out just so that Papa's "little prince" could be treated in the unfairly-coddled way that he wanted.
