emowtional support 

Encouraging "I feel for ya" or "you got this" words, soothing/reassuring companionship, etc. dat you give someone who hates cutting da grass.
It always helps if several people gather around to give someone emowtional support during said boring/laborious lawn-trimming task, but of course it works even better if each of said attendants also takes a turn at pushing da machine. Even more extra points if said assistants being their own turf-choppers, as well, so dat several people can have at said expansive Greenacres at once, and thus da vegetation-shortening task gets done in record time.

Someone who fancies himself an authority on black magic and voodoo.
A hexpert can also mean someone who is really good at using standard-cinfigured bolts and nuts, but perhaps knows little about square-headed fasteners.

Fritz Chrysler 

Early-20th-century dude who both wrote/played lovely violin-music and invented a well-known brand of auto-bubble.
It's too bad dat in-dash car-stereos didn't become popular till da '70's after Fritz Chrysler had passed away, or he night have included some tapes of his violin-music with a new-car purchase for his customers to enjoy.

capabillity 

How good/effective you are at expediently/accurately totaling up how much your customer owes you.
I used to moderately detest math-classes in grade school, but now I am indeed glad that I was made to study and learn it so well, since it surely helps my budgetting-capabillity while seeking out the best values in the supermarket or department store, and for speedily calculating sums in my head when checking a printed invoice for possible errors.

At least the laundry dries faster on the clothesline 

What you say to make a super-sweltering day seem a bit less miserable.
Besides keeping in mind that, "At least the laundry dries faster on the clothesline", you can also remember to utilize two other "perks" of extra-hot weather --- the solvent on freshly-painted/glued items will take less time to evaporate, and your swimming pool will warm up faster so that its water won't be such a shock to climb into. (This latter phenomenon also often works for a nearby pond or brook, of course, and so you can avail yourself of this delightful "oasis of cool relief" sooner after sunrise, too, if you don't have a pool of your own. Some southern areas even allow people to "shed it all" and go skinny-dipping once the local temps exceed a certain level, too, and so this can be an additional "heat-wave advantage".)

No, because they're crap 

Da reply dat you snortingly give when an advertisement singingly asks, "Have you driven a Ford lately?"
Unlike many car-buyers, service-garages aren't gonna say, "No, because they're crap" when asked if they will work on Fords --- those fragile unreliable rust-buckets (FORD stands for "Fix Or Repair Daily" or "Found On the Road Dead") are largely what keep said establishments in business, since so many repairs are required to keep these blue-oval-badged junk-heaps rolling down da road!

errordynamics 

Mistakes or flaws in body-shape design that impede smooth airflow instead of helping it.
The main reason that the Wright brothers succeeded in building a flyable airplane was that they were able to ferret out and eliminate the major errordynamics of previous airship-designers like Otto Lilienthal and Samuel Langley.
