towtality

Da entire ordeal of a wrecker-dispatch.

There was indeed a major traffic jam downtown due to a stalled vehicle's needing to be hauled off to da service-station for repair, but given da towtality of da circumstances, most of da folks present didn't seem to feel like there'd been much else dat could reasonably have been done.

Peugeot Sound

Da coastal area in da northwest corner of Washington State where small French cars are made.

If Peugeot Sound is where they make da cars, dat begs da question: what does a Peugeot sound like when it's running??

Mr. Badwrench

Denotes someone whom the speaker distrusts/has strong doubts about regarding his being a good/competent/knowledgeable mechanic.

eelectricity

Da source of da hair-bristling jolt dat you may likely get when you swim in waters inhabited by one or more bluntnose knifefish.

Da ancient Greeks found dat purposely subjecting themselves to eelectricity was helpful for arthritis, pain, blood-circulation issues, and other health problems. I therefore wonder if said "shocking" treatment might also be effective in reducing da "buzz" from having excessively imbibed at da local pub???

Up, down! Up, down! Up, down!

What the cantankerous Homer Bedloe gets stuck with doing every time he misses the Hooterville Cannonball and is therefore forced to take a manually-pumped hand-car along the tracks that run from Hooterville to Pixley.

The ultimate "puffed-up dandy-dude getting cut down to size for once" recurring gag-scene from "Petticoat Junction" is when Mr. Bedloe --- while embarked on yet another failed mission to scrap the Hooterville Cannonball --- is forced to perform his classic "Up, down! Up, down! Up, down!" routine with the handcar-lever as he solo-races a clunky hand-car from Hooterville to Pixley after he's either missed the train or is otherwise somehow prevented from "riding in style".

suspissious

Harboring eyebrow-raised uncertainty about whether someone "drained his radiator" in an appropriate manner.

If you see wet patches where they shouldn't be, you should be greatly suspissious of someone's assertion dat he always used da urinal.

fart dieseling

Da embarrassing (or hilarious, depending on who you talk to, and/or whether da emotions-feeler is da "actor" or da "observer") interval of "run-on" dat sometimes occurs following da "main event" --- i.e., yer butt-trumpet keeps on "purrin' like a kitten" for an extended period afterwards, rather than just "saying its piece" and then being done wif it.

In da uproarious "National Baked Bean Month" speech, da formally-dignified speaker experiences a major bout of fart dieseling towards da end, totally goofing up said oration but majorly putting his audience in stitches.
