inhibishions 

The prudent abilities to not make most of the dumb-a** mistakes ("bishes") that less-moderately-minded blokes would likely bumble into head-first.
Laurel and Hardy would not have been half so funny if they'd displayed better inhibishions. Nor would AFV be nearly so satisfyingly-uproarious if more people simply gave their actions a little thought... as show-host Tom Bergeron said a while back, "Common sense is the enemy of all comedy! My new motto is: 'Stop THINKING --- start TAPING!'"

primal facie 

An "obvious" type of evidence that proves that someone has reverted back to his "early species" mindset.
The ease that Geico had in finding a number of cavemen for their auto-insurance ads is primal facie evidence that there are still plenty of "un-evolved" hominids among us.

Pappaloosa 

A prize stallion whose main job is to sire award-winning foals with lovely "cookies 'n' cream"-patterned coats.
Speckle-coated fillies are indeed always a joy to have around, but you'll need to add a few colts into the herd to be sure of having a Pappaloosa or two in the future to maintain the lineage when "the ladies" grow up.

live-ery 

Special "fancy-pants" garments dat you wear when scribbling in your "die-ary" each day.
Henry Jones Sr. may have cared a lot about archaeology and personal enlightenment, but I don't recall his ever bothering to don live-ery when writing/drawing in his famous Grail diary.

redneck-repair six 

Refers to da half-dozen "main" or "lifesaver" items --- duct tape, WD-40, expanding-foam insulation, hose-clamps, deck/drywall-screws, and zip-ties --- dat backwoods-bumpkins absolutely rely on to get them through da day, due to these products' incredible versatility and their robust/reliable ability to "save the day" in so many occasions.
The classic "redneck-repair six" can get you out of so many everyday jams that you could probably never catalogue them all. (Think, using a Pringles-can to splice a busted radiator-hose till you can get home, re-attaching a broken tail-light, or adding mirrors on your kid's bicycle if you need him to run an emergency errand downtown.) Just watch the Red Green Show if you need any proof or examples. :P
redneck-repair six by QuacksO June 23, 2019
Glaringly-obvious proof that is so easy to observe that even a clueless "thickhead" should be able to notice it.
In Edgar Allen Poe's "The Purloined Letter", Monsieur Dupin is able to locate the stolen missive quite easily in the Minister's study, even though the Prefect and his men had twice minutely searched said room, yet never noticed said evidense that was right out in plain view.

bullshistory 

Da generally-useless-to-your-future-life/employment "set of lies agreed-upon" sawdusty-dry clap-trap dat dey force-feedingly shove down your boredom-parched throat during grade school.
Why should I bother learning all that bullshistory in school when I will seldom --- if ever --- need said knowledge in my future adult life, especially if a lot of it isn't even accurate, anyway???
