east-northwest by south

Good luck trying to follow THAT heading.

I had a hard time navigating by my boat's binnacle --- its needle-card just kept spinning around in circles, and thus showing all kinds of random "east-northwest by south" readings --- till I realized it was being affected by the magnetized eyelets in the cloth cap I was wearing! Duhhhhh..... :P

promisecuous

Denotes the status of frequently making an verbal commitment to spread your legs as "collateral" for a favor that someone else does for you, such as loaning you money, giving you a ride, performing manual labor for you, etc.

Agreeing to help a promisecuous lady may be all well and good, but one should consider how likely it is that said chick will actually keep her word when the time comes for her to "deliver the goods".

IsoTope

The "auxiliary" verger of Cloisterham Cathedral.

IsoTope may indeed have had just a minor role in the "Mystery Of Edwin Drood" tale, but I am still a bit surprised that neither Dickens nor Garfield made any mention of him in the famous mystery-thriller story.

Suture self

What a doctor shruggingly remarks when someone requests a different-from-the-standard-practice procedure for stitching up a wound, and said physician cannot see what difference said alternative method would make, but wants to accommodate the patient whenever possible.

"Suture self," said the surgeon, when I asked him to use cotton sewing-thread instead of synthetic-fiber floss.

soda-licious

Refers to how good a carbonated-beverage-based comestible tastes.

Dat lemon-lime-pineapple smoothie dat da dude behind da refreshments-counter whipped up for me was soda-licious!
