What have you done 'fermi' lately??

spasmodic dysphobia

Weird-sounding speech-impediment that causes periodic bouts of uncaring behavior towards fellow humans.

Maine Congresswoman Susan Collins is apparently no longer "the people's senator" (if she even actually WAS ever for us to begin with, which is doubtful!) --- she takes big money from mega-biz interests, votes against the basic interests of "the little guy", and to top it all off, she TALKS FUNNY! Sounds like a classic case of spasmodic dysphobia to me.

centimental value

A strong attachment to a family heirloom due to one's either being able to make a significant income from da ownership/use of said precious object, or knowing dat it will fetch a "pretty penny" if put up for sale.

If someone claims to have a special emotional attachment to an item at an estate sale --- especially if said object is of considerable value --- it's entirely possible dat he really means dat it is "of centimental value"; i.e., dat it would be worth a lot of money to the right buyer, and so he is merely wanting to selfishly turn a tidy profit by selling it.

intruckceration

Refers to either:
(1) where you get imprisoned in a "mobile unit" cell-block that's made from the converted body of an old van-trailer, or
(2) where your penal sentence is that you have to perform less-than-pleasant activities regarding cargo-hauling vehicles, such as cleaning, servicing, driving them on long/rough routes, etc.

Being sentenced to intruckceration can be a bit less distressing if you get housed in a reefer trailer, since you will have air-conditioning during hotter months.

Don Quick-Oats

The legendary pseudo-warrior of Quaker descent with an abnormal craving for pre-cooked dry cereal.

The history-books have it all wrong --- Don Quick-Oats wasn't mistaking everyday objects for monsters or other fierce enemies; he would charge windmills merely in the hope of scoring some of the tasty freshly-ground grain stored inside of them.

Astillerca

Da country of comedians dat's next to da other "funny-bunny citizens" kingdom of Amearaca.

If Jerry and Anne had countries named after them, how come we don't also hear of countries named after other equally-hilarious belly-laugh professionals --- what about "Abennyca", "Aduranteca", "Askeltonca", or "Ahopeca", in addition to "Astillerca" and "Amearaca"?

purrportion

Refers to da average fractional amount of a typical day when Fluffy expresses his contentedness with soothing "throat thunder".

Different domestic felines have wildly-varying temperaments and expectations of their owners, so one can never even begin to predict what a particular fur-ball's purrportion is gonna be.
