Eggenoggin Reach
A waterway in Maine's Penobscot Bay where people hold an annual sailing-regatta and swig huge quantities of traditional Christmas milk-based beverage.
I really love both watching sailing-yachts and guzzling Christmas-cordial, and so I always make a point to attend da annual festivities at Eggenoggin Reach; da only prob is dat I invariably "go overboard" at said boating-event (pun not intended, but it still works well :P), and so I end up with sunburned eyelids and a major case of eggnoggin afterwards!

mesmereyesed
In the beginning of "Hot Water", clueless bachelor Harold Lloyd cannot understand why his late-for-the-alter buddy would be in such an all-fired hurry to tie the knot that he would actually want to run to his own wedding --- "I'D never give up MY 'happy bachelor' freedom just for a pair of soft-boiled eyes!" Within a short time of his saying this, however, Harold accidentally bumps into the lovely charming sweetly-angelic-faced Jobyna Ralston, and one look into those sparking "soft-boiled" gazing-spheres of hers and he's totally mesmereyesed. :P

biginning
How an eager stud's lulu is right before he "takes the plunge"; da problem, or course, is what happens **after** da "action", when a lot of times Mr. Happy just goes exhaustedly limp and small for a good while till da dude eventually gets "recharged" again.
shutter-shudder
An involuntary muscle-twitching dat a camera-shy person feels from either having to press da release-button to take a photo, or when he hears da click of da camera when a picture is being taken of him.
One simple way to mostly eliminate image-blurring from fairly-minor shutter-shudder is to use a fast exposure-speed (and a flashbulb, too, if it's fairly low-light conditions); you may need to use a suitably large lens and wide aperture-setting to accommodate said swift-click camera-snap.

ad-verse possession
A legal term for when a self-proclaimed "servant of The Great One" mails out Good-Book-passage-laced flyers touting his beliefs, then uses said Bible-blabbing junk-mail to lawfully take possession of one or more dwellings or other valuable objects, particularly those owned by "blindly faithful" people who never interfere with anything that they naively view as being "of divine origin".
I always just write "REFUSED --- RETURN TO SENDER" on any ecclesiastical ephemera I receive, to hopefully avoid any future problems with attempts at ad-verse possession.
