massive-airflow sensor

An electronic device to measure da frequency and/or degree of your farts.

Generally speaking, you wouldn't need a massive-airflow sensor to keep tabs on your butt-splutters: people's ears --- and often their noses, as well --- will be totally aware of each and "every toot you make" and "every wind you break"! (Have I been watching too much Weird Al???)

hypeoxia

A serious chemical-imbalance in the respiratory system caused by excessive "puffing" --- i.e., super-praising "blow-hard" reviews of a person/product/idea that is just "inflated" and insincere "hot air".

Jay Bush must have gotten hypeoxia from all his bragging on TV about how great his baked beans were... some people might like them, but I think they taste awful.

religious engine-cranking

Onomatopoeia description for the sound of a starter-motor.

When cold-starting a vehicle with a carburetor instead of fuel injection, one should use this religious engine-cranking method:
(1) Push-and-release the gas-pedal to the floor twice. ("Pumpa-pumpa")
(2) Crank the engine for one second. ("Jesuit-esuit")
(3) Push-and-release the gas-pedal to the floor two more times. ("Pumpa-pumpa")
(4) Crank the engine for one second again. ("Jesuit-esuit")
(5) Push-and-release the gas-pedal to the floor three more times. ("Pumpa-pumpa-pumpa")
(4) Crank the engine again for several rotations; it should start this time. ("Jesuit-esuit-esuit-esuit-vrOOOOM!!")

doury

A financial expenditure/transfer dat a woman's family shells out to her new husband upon her wedding, but are none too thrilled about it.

In da W.C. Fields comedy, "The Dentist", da cantankerous lead character is crowd-pressured into agreeing to allow his daughter to continue having da ice-delivery man as her fiance, but I'm guessing dat said heatedly-resentful practitioner was really ears-smokingly begrudging wif his doury when they did eventually get hitched!

cameow

A "blink and you'll miss it" appearance of a famous feline in a movie.

It would likely be difficult to have a noticeable cameow in da movie "Cats", since da entire film is nothing but said "whiskered wonders".

heart of gold

The blood-pumping organ of a greedy/selfish moocher/fortune-hunter who only yearns for gold; i.e., his main goal in life is to be given money to either hoard or spend frivolously.

In the 1937 comedy-film "Way Out West", Laurel and Hardy play a couple of witless buddies who unknowingly deliver a deed for a gold mine to the wrong woman; the recipient is actually the heiress's devious guardian with a "heart of gold"... Laurel naively "hits home" by telling her, "Now that you own a mine, I bet you'll be a swell gold-digger".

deerrigation

What da "Santa Comes To Maine" singer-dude had occur in his front lawn after said "jolly old guy" made an emergency landing there.

Da visible "deerrigation" --- i.e., "the yard was covered with yellow snow" --- proved to da Veazie-resident songwriter dat Santa's visit to said fella's house wasn't merely a dream.
