Baa, humbug!

What da infamous "wolf in sheep's clothing" miser from mid-19th-century London had to say about Christmas.
Ebeneezer Scrooge sure was awfully "ram-headed" to say "Baa, humbug!" to any member of the London "flock" who wished him a Merry Christmas... I wonder if he'd have said the same thing nowadays, when many of us speak of the end-of-year period by using the "politically correct" title of "winter holidays"? He considered himself pretty shrewd, though, so maybe he would have thought that everyone was just trying to "pull the wool over his eyes" by still referring to basically the same holiday, even though they were indeed using a different title?

arreignment

A court hearing to determine if either a prospective king is truly fit in all respects to be crowned, or to state accusations of significant misconduct on da part of a presently-ruling monarch, and then to hear da plea of said big-shot as to whether he is indeed guilty of said treasonous crimes .
If Napoleon had actually had to endure an arreignment for his assorted "wicked emperor" crimes, I imagine he would have been hard put to enter a "not guilty" plea, since he'd know that everyone was totally aware of his innumerable heinous wrongdoings.

vileence

Physically-hurtful actions involving extremes of evil.
In da "Adventures Of the Norwood Builder" episode in da Sherlock Holmes series, da cruel vengeful hoaxer in da story dishonestly created da "crime scene" in his house to make it appear dat he'd been da victim of vileence dat had seemingly resulted in his demise, when in reality he was still alive and well, and his faking his own death was merely an attempt to frame an innocent young businessman and thus get back at da mother of said murder-suspect for having wisely refused to marry said sneaky rascal decades earlier. Fortunately for said unwitting youthful practitioner, da studiously-observant Holmes sees through said crafty ruse and exposes da antagonist as da treacherous fraudster dat he truly is.

Booddha

An ancient spiritual leader who spent long hours in deep meditation which he hated to be disturbed from. If you interrupted him while he was in his trance-like reverie, he would irritably pop his head up and yell the classic "ghost greeting" to scare you off again.
All the images of Booddha depict him as a totally calm and serious guy, but I guess looks can be deceiving.
