debutaunt

A derisive/overly-critical remark made by a "spoiled rich-kid" type newcomer who has no idea what the other people are going through or how things are customarily done in that setting.

Youth-camp activities-director: Summer camp sure is a lot more pleasant without any debutaunts assailing our ears. Unfortunately, though --- especially since this is a family-income-based sliding-scale membership-price facility --- the managers of the camp feel obliged to accept the bratty "upper crust" offspring along with the usually-much-better-behaved middle-and-lower-class-family kids, since these little monsters' well-off parents pay a lot more to have their kids come here, and so the camp gets a large percentage of their operating-funds from these highfalutin families.

post dramatic stress disorder

Da freaked-out and exhausted emotions dat you experience after "heavy-duty" social interactions invoking minor/petty/non-existent issues dat one or more self-important and/or fame-seeking fellow humans have blown way outta proportion. Think, da red-faced and utterly-drained feeling you'd feel in grade school when da teacher would "make a Federal case" outta some extremely minor error or dispute/misunderstanding between you and one of her bratty/conceited classroom "pets".

I never bother reading "Dear Abby" anymore; too many of the letters are just preposterously-immature social-tiffs about stupidly-asinine interpersonal issues --- disgustedly wading through all of that usually gives me a major case of post dramatic stress disorder afterwards!

firing order

Da unique progressive sequence in which da head of a service-garage sacks each of his dumb-a** mechanics due to their screwing up da placement of da ignition-wires on car-engines dat they're workings on.

Tronald Dump was notoriously heavy-handed and irrationally flippant about terminating da employment of his hapless apprentices, so it's a good thing he didn't run a garage where they repaired ignition-systems, or his firing order would likely have been even more despicable; besides, I seriously doubt dat his "rich 'n' pampered Daddy's-boy" fingers have ever even experienced handling a wrench or screwdriver to actually do any auto-repairs of his own, and so he would have no room to talk, anyway. Why, he probably couldn't even understand or follow da written/drawn instructions in a Haynes repair manual, and so how could he possibly be justified in criticizing anyone else if said naive laborer goofs up once in a while???

seekret

Non-publicly-known data dat is actively sought after.

James Bond was often in high-speed competition to uncover highly-sensitive seekrets that one or more other spies were trying to find out, as well.

pewberty

Da age at which one is allowed to sit in church unchaperoned.

I always hated attending church and sitting on those yucky hard wooden benches, so as soon as I reached pewberty, I just always sneaked out da back door of da chapel and went for a long walk; since my parents weren't present at da services any longer, they were never da wiser.

ransomwear

Clothing dat an extortionist either:
(A) confiscates from you so dat you would hafta embarrass yourself by walking around naked if you didn't pay up, or
(B) makes you wear during da time you're being held hostage; said duds are so hideous-looking and/or uncomfortable dat da extortionist figgers you would feel compelled to pay da demanded amount, rather than suffer da acute discomfort to your dignity and/or person of wearing said garments.

One way to possibly avoid falling victim to a ransomwear situation would be to learn how to sew and weave; this way, any available sheet-material that's fairly flexible (such as bedding, trash bags, paper, etc.), or strips of said material or even grass could be used to construct temporary clothing till the extortionist gives up on waiting for you to pay up, after which you can then obtain replacement duds.

acciscratch

A scraped-finish line dat was unintentionally made on someone's vehicle or other valuable painted object.

My buddy returned my pickup with a number of impact-created blemishes, but I knew dat they were all merely acciDENTS and acciscratches dat he could not likely have avoided with da type of work dat he'd had to do with the truck, and so I didn't blubber at him about it.
