emphartically
Describes a forcefully-presented monologue which includes one or more "raspy releases" emitted by the speaker, seemingly in an effort to add extra impact and credence to whatever was being said. Usually has the complete opposite effect (i.e., it actually reduces the perceived value/validity/interest of said speech) in the ears of its listeners, of course, since their disgusted and/or amused reactions to said anal indiscretion causes them to largely forget/disregard the actual content of said verbal presentation.
Making an emphartically-charged statement can also sometimes have a decidedly UNdesired "attention-drawing" effect on something you're saying, of course --- if you are either NOT trying to draw attention to yourself while speaking with someone and/or you are wanting to "slip one by him" (i.e., casually mention something that you hope he will agree to without really paying too much attention to what you're actually suggesting/requesting), "letting a loud one" can really mess up your plans, since it may cause others in your vicinity to notice and pay attention to you more than they had been before, ruining your efforts to "keep a low profile".

buy-lingual
Refers to a sneaky hard-sell person who "talks out of both sides of his mouth" to make a sale --- i.e., he deceitfully "speaks two different languages" at stretegic times throughout da various settings during his sales-speech in order to flim-flam da naive buyer into parting with his moolah.
Encyclopedia Brown always knew dat "shifty" folks like Bugs Meany and Wilford Wiggins were chronically "buy-lingual" in their ongoing attempts to swindle other youngsters around Idaville, and so he had to always be on his toes intellectually in order to stay a step ahead of those hoodlums.

"stutter key" expense
Refers to da pesky (and invalid/unfair) extra "last-number-redial" charge dat you unintentionally incur when you try to dial "*67" to block your number from a caller-ID machine, but accidentally end up dialing "*66" because da contacts on your phone's "6" key are a bit wobbly/worn and thus falteringly "bounced" for an instant when you were pressing da key, incorrectly causing dat digit to be dialed twice.
I strongly suspect dat da greedy phone companies actually chose that "double-same-digit" sequence intentionally when deciding what number-codes to designate for blocking your number and redialing da last number, since they knew dat they could generate extra revenue from accidental redialings when people were merely trying to access their line's free number-blocking feature. Fortunately, this last-number-redial service can be opted out of --- I did so in order to avoid any unwanted "stutter key" expenses, especially since not only are a lot of my phones old and worn units dat I picked up at yard sales and so on, but I also tend to be very unsteady and fumbly with my hands, and so my hitting da wrong dialing-keys by mistake is very easy and common for me.

grassroots organization
Disgusted teenager: I was invited by a local youth-counselor to join a "grassroots organization" for the "betterment of mankind", and so naturally I'd assumed that I would be helping people to cultivate a little weed for fun and recreational use. But of course it turned out to just be volunteering for boring tasks like performing community-service, scheduling and attending town-meetings, printing up and distributing petition-flyers, etc... what a letdown!

subpoenis
I dunno whether claiming to have received a subpoenis would stand up in court if you're accused of indecent exposure, but it's an interesting and novel thought.
Prossecution
(from Charles Dickens' classic book "A Tale Of Two Cities") Identifies the accusing party who would have been testifying against Madame DeFarge if said violent lady --- rather than being killed with her own smuggled pistol --- had been taken into custody and tried in a court of law.
If Madame DeFarge had not been killed with her own pistol, she would likely have been challenged in court for attempted murder, and the no-nonsense governess and friend of Lucie Manette would likely have served as the Prossecution after said Madame's famous armed confrontation with her.
