inspired expection

An upbeat-minded prediction of future events regarding whether da cops will notice da no-longer-valid vehicle-exam sticker on your windshield.

Kettering Five

Da infamous group of shady-mechanic goons who conspired to make hand-crank-start engines obsolete.

True story: da "Kettering" and "Keating" characters were both named "Charles"; said similarity is what gave me da idea for da "Kettering Five". So da five cohorts under Kettering's self-starter regime might have been:
Alan Crankston (Google da real names yourself --- I ain't got time to 'splain all da puns to ya :P)
Dennis DeConvenience
John Generator
John McChine
Donald W. Regulator

specusooner

A financial chance-taker who's a whale of a lot speedier than a "speculater".

Earlybird Oklahomans were classic "specusooners" who bought up land before it was technically legal to do so, but they acquired many prime land-parcels a lot earlier than da "speculaters" who eventually dawdled in after da official start of da Land Run of 1889.

Oldtella

Da "original" ground-filberts-with-chocolate spread before they started listing "sugar" as da FIRST ingredient, rather than hazelnuts!

♪Grampa --- TELL me 'bout da good OLD days...♫ Yep, said "old story-tella" could certainly TELL you 'bout da good OLDtella bread-garnish dat used to taste nutty and robust instead of just straight-'n'-simple creamy-sweet like it is now!
