slitigation

Courtroom-wrangling regarding either unwanted or improperly-formed/positioned blade-cuts in fabric.
Garfield loves to exercise his "paw-pals" on couches, curtains, and other household -furnishings, and so his owner Jon is always at risk of slitigation from irate homeowners and shopkeepers.

irritable vowel syndrome

Refers to a semi-serious malady whereby an impatient/cantankerous person habitually "whimpers 'n' growls" using long drawn-out wordless/meaningless noises that, if written out phonetically, would consume a whole lotta letters other than consonants, such as "Aaaaaaaaaarrgghhhuuuuuuuuuhhhhh...!" or, "Eeeeeeeeeennnggguuuuuuuuuhhh...!"
I never take my spoiled-rotten teenage cousin along on family shopping-trips anymore... the lengthy wait-times between stores, our unwillingness to purchase the unnecessary/overly-expensive items he desires, our inability to go around to all the places he wants to visit, and the late hour that we usually get home all conspire to give him a major case of irritable vowel syndrome, and this constant fretting takes all the cheerfulness out of the trip for everyone else.

showgun

A Japanese military leader who often practices "open carry" when out-'n'-about in da public eye.
Some people think dat practicing "showgun" is da best way to let everyone know dat "you're carrying"; personally, I think it's just a lot of flashy arrogance dat makes observers uneasy and resentful.

cowardenates

Da GPS-locale numerals of where yer spineless probation-officer is at da moment.
I get time off my parole for always showing up promptly at my weekly progress-check-in meetings, so I always call an hour beforehand to ask my wimpy-a**ed case-worker for his present cowardenates, since many times HE forgets about da "where, when, and what" regarding da stuff dat HE'S supposed to be doing, and so I MYSELF am often obliged to remind HIM of our scheduled appointments, and then go rushing all around da county to link up wif him so dat we can go over my past week's life-improvement activities and he can sign off on my paperwork!

immigrinch

Refers to a foreignertransplant” who takes the festive cheer out of Christmas due to his differing and/or grumpy views about the holiday and its origins.
I am sure that there have been plenty of immigrinches ever since the time when Christmas was first celebrated, but the most famous example was probably Ebeneezer Scrooge... the book implies that he was a "native" of London, but one would seriously question how he could have felt so antagonistic towards Christmas if he had truly been exposed to the infectious joy and generosity that was typically displayed in London every year during that period... he must actually have been "from away", as we say here in Maine.

yellow question-mark

Da "pee-pattern symbol" in da snow dat gets created by da natural movement of yer "nozzle" --- i.e., da urine-stream "starts out strong" and initially lands several feet away due to yer full and "pressurized" bladder, gradually progresses around in a sideways-curve, and then forms a straight line back towards you as da stream-force tapers off and so yer lulu progressively droops till it's eventually pointing almost straight downwards; it then makes a final separate "dot" of yellow in da spot just ahead of yer feet when you perform a "sphincter stripping" --- i.e., you tense yer bowel-muscles to "get out da last of it" --- at da end.
When visiting friends' houses where there is often a bit of a line to da WC and so I may need to unobtrusively "take it outdoors", I always move a few feet away from da porch before taking a whiz, so dat I don't gross anyone out by their finding a yellow question-mark too close to where they'd need to walk.

whimpervise

To attempt to be allowed alternative procedures/actions to the presently-requested/expected arduous/undesirable task by plaintively whining to those around you.
Stan Laurel was an expert squeaky-voiced whimperviser whenever Hardy snortingly protested that their present ridiculous debacle was yet "another nice mess you've gotten me into".
