dincentive

A motivational reason to make a noisy ruckus.
Knowing da Harold Green was gonna be overseeing Possum Lake's public-relations department did not overly excite da Possum Lodge members or cause them to react with much enthusiasm --- that is, not until they learned dat he would be making a $60,000 annual salary, whereupon they all suddenly felt a massive dincentive to boisterously give him a standing ovation.

wincentive

An motivational offer made to a competition-contestant whereby you agree to pull strings wif da judges to give him first prize; this bargaining can be done to either convince said participant to take part in said game in da first place, or give him da gumption to perform a less-than-pleasant/easy favor for you.
I am a totally honest competitor who wants to be given a performance-rating fair and square, and so I would not be swayed if someone offered me a wincentive.

bucksom

Describes a "Dolly Parton" chick who knows da "value" of her bountiful chest-pillows to da male humans in her area, and so she charges a premium for touchy-feely access-privileges to said oversize "mounds of joy".
If you ask really nicely, some bucksom chicks will allow you a "savoring da Girls" session "for free" if you provide her with something dat she would ordinarily have had to spend money for, such as tasty comestibles, yardwork like lawn-mowing or snow-clearing, repairs/upgrades to her home or vehicle, etc.

architekture

Da designing of toothbrushes.
I liked da old "plain flat stick" architekture better --- today's fancy-shmancy-shaped pearly-whites cleaners are such a royal pain to use!

best-lathed plans

OCD-level-created intentions for working with materials in a machine shop.
Da best-lathed plans can go awry if either yer work-order specs are off by one digit, or yer equipment is even slightly outta whack.

margarinal returns

"Bare-bones" proceeds/rewards that are of far less value/usefulness than whatever it was that you originally invested into said venture... in other words, it's like you put fresh pure premium dairy-butter into da mix, and only got stale margarine back out for all your sweat 'n' toil.
I diligently updated my profile and paid my dues to a local dating-service in the hopes of scoring some sweet fresh "milk", but all I got was a bony plain-Jane past-middle-aged biddy wif A-cups and a hairy snatch dat smelled funny --- talk about margarinal returns!

cost-cutting maneuver

A fumingly-sarcastic reference to a shamelessly "sneaky 'n' unethical" (and unfortunately very common!) "buy-pressure" strategy practiced at many hardware/specialty-supplies stores; the ploy consists of a staffperson's hacking off a length from a roll of bulk-product like rope, wire, hose, or cloth, and only **afterwards** informing the customer how much the product is priced per foot, hoping that said customer will then feel obligated to buy the piece "since it's already been cut off the roll".
I once had a totally pathetic "cost-cutting maneuver" tried on me at a bicycle-repair shop --- I needed a rear shift-cable, and so the clerk cut off my required length of cable from the store's bulk roll, without first telling me the super-steep per-foot price or asking me beforehand if I wanted to pay that much. It was only when he actually brought the "ringing up the sale" screen up on the computer that he revealed the astronomical amount that it was gonna cost me --- a whopping SEVEN DOLLARS AND CHANGE! --- for just three or four feet of the cable! Fortunately, I had the "bravery" to just look mildly shocked and hastily remark, "Eeeyewww... that's a lot more than I can afford --- thank you anyway, though. I'll just get one at WalMart instead." Hey, it wasn't MY fault if the salesman had created a harder-to-resell cut piece of cable --- I hadn't asked him to chop me off some of the cable yet, I'd just told him that I needed a replacement shifter-cable, so it wasn't my "responsibility" to now PAY for said cable! He should have told me beforehand how much it would cost per foot, and then asked me if I wanted to buy it before he'd actually hacked the length off the roll!
