Munchousen syndrome

A disorder characterized by spending extended periods of time in a dwelling while chomping on enormous quantities of food.

I wonder if da Coneheads had Munchousen syndrome, since they were always inviting others to join then for a "group-pig-out"?

ewepage

An interval of helter-skelter charging about partaken of by one or more females, often with theft and/or violence involved.

Da cross-country crime-spree perpetrated by da infamous Thelma and Louise could certainly qualify as a major ewepage!

aisland

A comparatively-narrow strip of exposed rock and/or soil dat divides a body of water into two, or extends between two larger coastal land-masses.

Few people realize how many islands there actually are in da Hawaiian chain, since many of dem are quite small and thus relatively unknown to tourists --- Molokaʻi, for example, is merely an aisland between Maui and Oahu.

asstronomy

Da study of "moons".

It's a free country, and so if you wanna pursue a career in asstronomy, there's no law to stop ya --- just be aware, though, dat few people perceive any value in dat crap, and so sooner or later you'll likely get "mooned" by one or more derisive observers.

floorist

A businessperson who deals in fancy tile-arrangements for sprucing up a dwelling's walking-surfaces.

I am satisfied with just ordinary linoleum dat I can install myself, so I doubt dat I'll have any need to call a floorist.

face the music

In addition to the "standard" definition of someone's coming forward and submitting to others' wrath over some stupid blunder/selfish misbehavior that he has committed, this term can also refer to the guilty individual's sentence being that he is obliged to listen to one or more horridly-performed vocal/instrumental selections, or to endure a period of a music-type that he abhors, such as if he only likes crash 'n' bash hard-rock/heavy-metal, but is forced to endure an hour of opera or chamber music.

excerpt from an old late-'90's Reader's Digest article that humorously speaks about how many teenagers absolutely loathe hearing their "musically impaired" parents sing anything, and thus how forcing them to listen to said ear-grating vocalizing would be a far more effective punishment/crime-deterrent than any currently-employed methods, such as fines or jail: Judge, gravely: Young man, this is the third time you've come before me in this courtroom. This is a very serious situation.
Juvenile delinquent, sullenly: Yeah, whatever.
Judge: Your previously-lenient punishment does not seem to be working. Your behavior has not improved at all, and so I am going to have to give you the very stiffest sentence possible in this case --- you're really going to have to "face the music" now.
Juvenile delinquent, shrugging with a devil-may-care attitude: Yeah, what else is new?? So what's it gonna be --- more JAIL TIME?!?!?
Judge: No --- jail is too good for you. I'm gonna have your mom come up here and sing "America the Beautiful" on the court karaoke.
Juvenile delinquent, widening his eyes in horror: Oh, NO, Sir --- please --- anything but that, Sir! Send me back to jail --- make me do community service --- anything else --- just not THAT, Sir!
