"A device that you're repairing will operate **absolutely perfectly** while you have it taken apart to work on it, but then when you get it all put back together and have all the cabinet-screws re-inserted, THAT'S when the device will decide not to work again."
To lessen the chance of getting "bitten" by Murphy's Law of Post-repair Reassembly, one should double-check everything on a refurbished device before putting it back together again.

sprangxiety

Feelings of apprehension dat a person or animal is gonna leap out at you.
Our new kitten loves to lie in wait and then pounce on any unsuspecting family-member who walks by; we've clipped his claws and so he never actually harms us, but it still gives everyone mild sprangxiety due to our never knowing what hiding-place he's gonna unexpectedly rocket out from next.

Obi-chon Hardware

Where Luke Skywalker's uncle goes to get fasteners and other repair-materials for his machinery.
If da Obi-chon Hardware chain had stocked spare spaceship parts, maybe da Reisistance members wouldn't have had to stop for replacement parts at da shady salvage yard.

fugueitive

Someone who goes into hiding after writing a particular piece of classical music.
Some people are such awful composers dat they would almost feel da need to become fugueitives when audiences heard their horridly-unpleasing orchestral creations; usually, though, said concerns would be unfounded, since da general public isn't actually gonna attack someone merely because they don't care for his music.

begaphone

An amplified speaking-device dat someone uses to solicit charity from anyone in da general vicinity.
I always try to help others who are truly in need, but if someone requesting help is assailing everyone's eardrums by hollering into a begaphone, dat would definitely be a turn-off for me.

lunatick

An insane person who thinks he can tell/keep time by watching the moon.
I wonder if da the some lunatick who came up with the "weather-rock-on-a-string" (if the rock's wet, it's raining; if it's white, it's snowing; if it's swinging, it's windy, etc.) invented the stupid "moon-phases" dial on fancy large clocks... who needs to know what phase of the moon it is, and why would you even need a *clock* to tell you that info, anyway??? Just look outta da 0%!$@#& WINDOW to see if da moon is visible out there or not!
