Malaiseia

A country in Southeast Asia where everyone feels groggy and unmotivated.

I already have an inherent lack of gumption and get-up-and-go, anyway, so I don't think I should vacation in Malaiseia, since my being there would probably cause me to feel even less like doing much of anything.

Whack-A-Mole faucets

Refers to those dumb-a** water-saver spigots with push-to-operate valves dat gradually rise back up and stop da water-flow after a ridiculously short time, obliging you to keep "bashing da buttons" every few seconds while trying to wash your hands or fill your drinking-cup.

One fairly-simple way to keep Whack-A-Mole faucets running continuously is to slap da "H" and "C" valves alternately, and always doing so before da currently-running one stops flowing; this causes both valves to stay open more of da time, allowing for an uninterrupted flow of water from da spout.

benefit supper

A community-sponsored meal that's intended to raise funds through free-will donations, but which in the end often merely "benefits" multitudes of freeloaders who just come for the free food, and then quietly leave again without dropping any money in the donations-cup.

If towns would not charge such outrageous sums in properly-taxes, there might likely be fewer "abusers" of benefit suppers, since there would be fewer cash-strapped folks who would sulkily feel that they were "owed" free meals due to their already having shelled out grossly-excessive amounts for their property-taxes.

coopon

A money-saving offer on products for your pet doves dat you clip from da newspaper.

Since da composer in da famous "Be inspired" PBS ad was aided in his improvised piano-work by da doves who'd landed on da utility-lines, perhaps it might be appropriate for him to clip a coopon from da newspaper and get his feathered music-advisors some tasty birdseed or suet-cake.

bank account withdrawal

That acute and all-consuming feeling of bored emptiness, melancholy, cranky dissatisfaction, etc. that comes when one accustomed to a lavish lifestyle has completely drained his financial resources and thus has to start economizing, or when a “caring” (read, “tough-love”!) parent/spouse/dutch uncle has suspended the squanderer’s spending privileges until such time as he is deemed worthy/responsible enough to manage his own finances again.

Cool chick: Yo! Why the long face, girl?
Hip lass: Oh, just major bank account withdrawal syndrome --- my boyfriend was sick of bailing me out, so he took away my debit and credit cards, and enrolled me in a free community college course in frugal money management.
Cool chick: Yeeee-gads! Major bummer, honey! Well, I’ll be a good sport and take the course, too, so I can sit with you for emotional support. Besides, I could use a little help myself in that regard.

Charlottan

An impersonator who claims that she is named "Charlotte", even though she is not.

Even though everyone knows that the book "Jane Eyre" has been around for over 150 years, there are still a lot of Charlottans around who claim to be the author.

deleis

Stoppages in a schedule dat are caused by flowered necklaces.

When I went to da LUAU to find some hot chicks to satisfy my ragingly-hard LULU, I encountered numerous DELEIS which repeatedly DELAID me --- i.e., lots of gorgeous Hawaiian ladies sequentially stopped me to smilingly drape fragrant-blossomed friendship-wreathes around my neck and give me kisses, and so these customary welcoming-gestures momentarily postponed their spreading their legs for me each time. I didn't mind, though, since it was an extra warm-mannered affection-perk for me from said tanned damsels, plus of course it also meant dat I was given access to both their upstairs AND downstairs "lips".
