Gaucho Marx 

A cowboy of the South-American pampas who also famously starred on the big screen.
Indiana Jones's father, Henry Sr., disgustedly quips that he "should have sent his diary to the Marx Brothers" instead of mailing it to his son Indy, who unwittingly brought the book all the way back to Germany and thus made it available for the Nazis to use for nefarious purposes. What's amusing about this statement is that both Indy and Gaucho Marx played cowboy figures.

Thoroughbread 

Da type of horse dat da Gingerbread Man rides. This is da real reason dat he was able to outrun everybody --- naturally, his tiny little short legs could never have enabled him to run very fast, but he was riding a swift steed which allowed him to easily outdistance his merely-on-foot pursuers.
Da story of da Gingerbread Man never actually occurred da way da fairly-tale relates it... da fox merely wrote da narrative dat way 'cuz he was humiliated dat da Gingerbread Man prudently declined da cleverly-devious crimson-canine's offer to give him a ride across da stream on his back, but instead wisely went back to his house and got his long-legged Thoroughbread horse to easily splash across da river, and so da infuriated --- and hungrier-than-ever --- fox never got to eat da Gingerbread Man, after all.

Da "generic knockoff" dollar-store brand of kiddie scalp-wash available at a much-cheaper price than da "genuine article" dat comes in an Edward-Bear-shaped bottle.
I have always raised my children to ignore fancy-schmancy advertising and packaging, so they don't mind using just "bargain-basement" soap and shampooh for their bathing needs.

michelobe 

An abnormal-looking (i.e., swollen, reddened, wrinkled, etc.) lower portion of the ear cause by excessive alcohol-consumption.

clockadile

A scaly toothy "overgrown lizard" who always knows what time it is.
If you choose not to wear q wristwatch when venturing into da swampy bayous, but instead figure on asking a clockadile for a time-check, dat's all well and good --- just be aware, though, dat consulting said ferocious-fanged aquatic resident might very likely be hazardous to your health, especially if he decides to try da sneaky ol' "come closer so dat I can hear you" trick!

nickateen 

A highly-addictive substance that "catches" an adolescent and possibly makes him a smoker for life.
To "hook" more young people during a period when the number of smokers was on a downtick, tobacco companies increased the nickateen levels in their cancer-sticks to make it harder for "experimental" or "trial" smokers to stop once they'd started.

Solemnon 

Da famous ancient king who was always very serious, formal, and dignified.
King Solemnon might have attracted even more women to join his harem if he'd smiled and lightened up a bit whenever possible.
