killowatts
Or "killerwatts". Refers to da voluminous "angry pixies" dat Debbie Jellinsky utilized to try to eliminate da Addams family; thanks to Pubert's "nick of time" re-wiring actions, however, said spendthrift black widow ended up merely frying herself.
Perhaps Debbie Jellinsky should have initially used a milder dose of killowatts to make sure that the electric-chair wires were hooked up correctly before she applied the "mega-zap" that totally reduced her to a pile of ashes.

pursnickety
Ebeneezer Scrooge was so pursnickety that he would endanger his own health and safety ("Cold and darkness are free; I love them! Saves on coal and candle-wax!") just to avoid spending a few farthings.

vitrious humor
Acrid "eyeball-to-eyeball" snickery sarcasm between two or more individuals who have taken the concept of "verbal sparring" to an absurd level.
Whenever possible, I always just walk away if someone starts trying to engage me in any vitrious humor; no good can come out of said exchange, and usually nobody truly "wins" in a "Yo mamma's so ___ that..." type of conversation, anyway, so why waste your breath and needlessly strain your vocal chords???

Brer Fox plagiarism
Refers to a bombastic loudmouth's blatantly taking credit for an idea or realization that everyone else present at the time knows was thought of by someone else. It originates from the most famous of all the "Uncle Remus" tales --- Brer Rabbit and the Tar Baby --- and comes from the infamous (and hilarious) dialogue between the brashly-conceited Brer Fox and the two other animals who were present at the time --- Brer Bear and Bter Rabbit --- whereby anytime a good idea is.suggested, Brer Fox boldly announces that said idea was his own: "I sure am glad that **I** thought of THAT!"
Perhaps the tar-embedded Brer Rabbit could have used another method to avoid his demise at the hands --- er, **paws** --- of his venomous-hearted crimson-canine nemesis by insisting on "postponing operations pending litigation", and then suing his savage russet-coated adversary for "Brer Fox plagiarism" when said cocky character braggingly took credit for Brer Rabbit's idea about "flinging him in da briar patch". Plus of course, once they were in court, Brer Rabbit could have also asked the judge to lock up Brer Fox (and possibly Brer Bear, as well, as a conspirator in crime) for his ongoing attempts to eliminate Brer Rabbit, and for his constant threatening and harassment of "a poor helpless harmless fluffy little bunny like me".

lugooberious
I absolutely love roasted peanuts and peanut butter, so I know that I would feel pretty lugooberious if either I became allergic to peanuts and thus couldn't eat them anymore, or I didn't have access to them for an extended period.

chickanery
Professional or "career" criminals often employ innocent-looking damsels to either do some of the actual stealing for them or merely "case the joint" (i.e., scope out a prospective place of business that they plan to rob), because sweet-faced ladies are automatically less scrutinized or viewed with suspicion than their make counterparts. Big Tobacco had also used chickanery for decades by showing photos of attractive women smoking in their advertisements for their coffin-nails, just as was done with comparably-dangerous wares like alcoholic beverages and shoddy vehicles.

wire fraud
Refers to the manufacturing/marketing/installing of long filaments of metal that are not composed of the more-costly copper, aluminum, stainless steel, etc. that you claim they are, but instead are just cheap brittle "white metal".
I don't get it --- infamous shyster-medium Sherry Tina Uwanawich was convicted of wire fraud, yet she was never an electrician.
