QuacksO's definitions

regretel

What an animal wif a securely-gripping prehansel tail never feels when hanging from a branch.
Maybe if da two famous fairy-tale children had possessed preHANSEL tails, they might have been able to traverse da forest by swinging through da tree-tops, and thus they could have avoided feeling da reGRETELs of getting caught by da wicked candy-cottage witch, since she could not have reached them when they were up dat high.

flight-risk

What the Wright Brothers and other early-aviation pioneers had to face every time they took to the skies in their primitive flying-machine inventions.
When airplanes were first being tried out at carnivals and trade-shows, many people were afraid to ride in them due to a perceived (and often-all-too-true!) "flight-risk". So a standard "grim grins" statement that these distrustful folks would make in retort/reply to an offer to climb aboard one of those airborne coffins was, "Yeah, sure --- I'll fly... if I can keep one FOOT ON THE GROUND!"

refereence

A guidance or similarity provided by a sports-monitor with a whistle.
Ducky Wheeze wasn't much of a refereence regarding how a boxing match should be carried out, in dat he was totally prejudiced against Elmer Fudd, and so he totally rigged said match to ensure dat Daffy Duck would be da winner.

seanery

What you're promised on an ocean cruise, but generally it's only what you'd expect to see if you venture out on da "wavy water --- just endless expanses of brine and lots of herring gulls!
In Lewis Carrol's hilarious poem, "The Hunting of the Snark", da navigationally-clueless captain of da hunting-party used a "complete and absolute blank" map of "da sea", which was "without da least vestige of land". Just plain old "seanery" to be had out in da middle of da Atlantic, he probably figured, so why use a map dat shows anything different?

, etc.

A wonderful "catch-all" notation that basically "lets you off the hook" and allows you to do whatever you please if all other parties involved agree to it.
One should be very wary about signing/agreeing to something that includes ", etc." at the end of a line, since this basically gives the agreement's profferer "carte blanche" or "the sky's the limit" permission to have/do whatever he/she pleases --- if someone squawks, he can always run back to that wonderful little "etc." word in da agreement and say, "Hey, you guys implied that I could do anything I saw fit, this is just one of those!"

jeery of your peers

An amusedly-unimpressed group of folks of similar age and background to you
In the 1924 Will Rogers comedy-film "A Truthful Liar", his wild and wacky tales of his assorted adventures in the world of politics are related in front of a "jeery of your peers" audience of fellow townspeople who disdainfully wave off Will's stories as hogwash.
