no answer is good answer

A natural "take-off" of the classic "no news" proverb, this saying refers to when you receive no response to a potentially-controversial or "explosive" message that you had trepidatiously sent to an individual or business/government establishment sometime earlier; the idea here is that if your missive's recipient actually was able to "swallow" or "digest" your message's content without "going ballistic" and hot-headedly sending either a seethingly-angry response or the cops your way, then this indicates that the ultra-careful/tactful word-choices that you'd employed when originally composing your message must have paid off --- the recipient's very lack of any response is actually a response in itself, in that he is indicating to you that your message did not excessively upset him.

In today's heatedly-temperish and highly-emotionally-charged business/social world, merely not stressing out someone with a somewhat-unusual/unorthodox statement/request is a major and "worthy" achievement that puts you "ahead of the curve" just by itself, and so you should count your lucky stars and give yourself a pat on the back for good English-communication skills if you actually receive a merely "neutral" reaction when sending someone a potentially-upsetting message --- no answer is good answer, I always say.

snituation

A dilemma whereby someone has his nose outta joint and therefore doesn't wanna cooperate with whatever endeavor is presently being carried out.

I always make sure to thoroughly interview each and every one of da volunteers who are being considered for a task or expedition, to make sure dat none of them have any personal or political views dat might create a snituation during said undertaking.

lossuit

An assets-enrichment-seeking court case brought by someone claiming to have suffered a financial setback.

If you get gypped by someone for a lot of money, it usually will be because said shyster had no funds of his own to begin with, so there would probably be little use in filing a lossuit over it --- "you can't get blood out of a stone", so it would likely be just a waste of time and court-costs.

Dude #1: Will do, Buddy --- we cool dudes need to stick together, eh???

fart dieseling

Da embarrassing (or hilarious, depending on who you talk to, and/or whether da emotions-feeler is da "actor" or da "observer") interval of "run-on" dat sometimes occurs following da "main event" --- i.e., yer butt-trumpet keeps on "purrin' like a kitten" for an extended period afterwards, rather than just "saying its piece" and then being done wif it.

In da uproarious "National Baked Bean Month" speech, da formally-dignified speaker experiences a major bout of fart dieseling towards da end, totally goofing up said oration but majorly putting his audience in stitches.

Juss flappin' yer coat-tails

In other words, juss sassin' ya. Comes from da playful-but-annoying practice of coming up behind someone who's wearing a long jacket with a divided lower back, grabbing da jacket just above da slit, and then vigorously/rapidly yanking da lower part of da jacket in and out to make da pair of tails slap against da person's butt.

Me: If yer too warm, why doncha go take a dip in da ocean?
You: Jump in da ocean??? Are you crazy??? It's chilly and whitecaps-windy out there!
Me: I know, I know... juss flappin' yer coat-tails...! :D

majestrate

A monarch or other supreme ruler who also hears court cases.

High-'n'-mighty jerks of royalty like King Fink and Prince John were notorious majestrates, as well, and their unfair, self-serving, and heavy-handed decisions caused wide-spread unrest and resentment among their subjects.
