Welcome to The R-d-d-d-ock!

The humorous knighted-Scottish-actor impersonation that you eye-twinkingly utilize to address your companion(s) when letting them into a building of some kind where the "regular" entrance had been either locked, jammed, or obstructed with objects/debris on the inside, and so you have "gone around" and slipped into said edifice from an alternate door or other opening that you know about from previous visits here, wormed your way forward through the interior of the structure till you eventually reached the front access-point again, cleared away any blockage from the doorway-area, and then finagled/wrestled said door open for easier and less-obtrusive entry by your accompanying humans; this saves their all having to tiringly make extra steps all the way over to the side-entrance, slither through narrow doorways, clamber over obstructions, unnecessarily disturb other present occupants of said building, etc..
Years ago before we had a telephone of our own, my sister and I would occasionally go to make calls at the office of a fellow-low-income-neighbor's service-garage. The only problem was that the shop's French-window-style front door had a broken/loose latch-mechanism, and thus the door was often very balky about opening up from the outside. So to save my slight-figured and not-very-steady-on-her-extra-small-feet sister's having to wobblingly struggle her way into the office by an alternate route, I would merely leave her standing at the front door of the garage while I performed a classic "Welcome to The R-d-d-d-ock!" maneuver --- I'd hurriedly scuttle around back, quietly sidle in at the mechanics'-access door, unobtrusively pick my way through the service-bays where the guys were working and on into the office's rear entrance, forcibly fumble and jiggle the wobbly latch-mechanism to coax the front door into performing its "open sesame" routine, and then smilingly usher my still-patiently-waiting sister inside the office and over to the old swivel-chair by the desk where the phone was.
Refers to any dumba** statements dat claim dat waferboard is a viable building-material... we all know dat it just falls apart within a short time, especially if it gets wet a lot.
OSB.S. can also loosely refer to da inferior material itself, or to any carpentry-work/creations dat utilize it.

It's against my religion 

Da ultimate total-bu**s**t excuse for not doing something dat any reasonable/responsible person should do, merely for da purpose of selfishly shirking a basic duty to your fellow humans because you're too lazy/cowardly/self-centered to do so.
"It's against my religion" is the total "anti-Christ" (i.e., the exact opposite religion-based statement) in every way to the equally-disgraceful, "It's God's will" coercing-statement --- while this latter phrase attempts to insensitively pressure someone else to perform/allow an action that he strongly dislikes/disapproves of, the former statement is said in an equally-thoughtless attempt to "acceptably" get out of performing an action which the speaker himself does **not** want to do.

ornerythologist 

A cranky researcher who find the study of birds to be insanely tedious.
In the September 5, 1981 Doonesbury comic strip, former US Secretary of the Interior James Watt is shown to be a classic example of an ornerythologist, in that he doesn't see the difference between endangered species of birds and the super-plentiful pigeons --- "Birds are birds, I say. That's what I mean by extremism!"

impurseonal 

Describes a non-affectionate/non-sociable way of treating someone; large cash allowances and/or expensive gifts are substituted for caring "one-on-one" interaction, resulting in said person's feeling well-provided-for but unloved on a personal-warmth level.
Despite a lavish and worry-free upbringing, many "rich kid" humans tend to grow up feeling unloved and lonesome if their impurseonal parents are too busy tending to their financial and social affairs, and thus do not spend enough time showing warmth or interest in their own offspring.

deafamation 

Derogatory/critical remarks/claims made in the presence of the person whom you're throwing under the bus, with the assumption that said criticized individual will not know what you're saying due to hearing-impairment.
A good example of deafamation's "coming back to bite you" is the classic humorous tale of the old fella who got a hearing-aid without his family's knowledge, and then he was able to repeatedly change his will while surreptitiously listening to the conversations of said family-members, since he now knew what they really thought of him and what their future plans were to spend whatever assets he'd originally been planning to leave to them.

vialation 

A significant "no-no" involving substances stored in small cylindrical flasks.
Carrying vodka into the lab in test-tubes disguised as water is a "clear" vialation of workplace protocol.
