begginner
Andy Capp fancies himself a savvy and knowledgeable freeloader, even bragging to the readers about said expert prowess. Let's just hope, then, that he doesn't actually start coaching any "begginners" to follow his dependent-on-others lifestyle!
fiddleity
Or "fiddelity" --- please don't fuss me over exact spelling. Refers to how good a sound yer "cheap violin" instrument sounds when scraping out a lively tune on da back porch.
Jack Benny was actually quite an accomplished musician who could produce quite good "fiddleity"; his awful-sounding musical renditions were so hilarious precisely because he could indeed play so well --- as they say, you have to actually be really good at playing in order to know how to "play poorly well" --- i.e., to sound awful in a funny way that makes the audience laugh.
ireny
Da eyerolling-disgust-inducing difference between da level/type of anger dat you expected a particular situation to produce, and what temperish results --- or absence thereof, if you're lucky --- actually occurred.
A classic case of ireny would be in "To Kill A Mockingbird", where da scared-and-hungry Dill went to all da agonized/trepidatious effort to secretly enter da Finch's house and hide under Scout's bed for an extended period while tummy-rumblingly listening to Scout's family happily partaking of their supper, only to then have "big and scary" Atticus not even look mildly upset when Dill finally showed himself, and then be generously plied with leftovers, given a hot bath, and finally be permitted to happily climb in beside his dream-girl (Scout herself) in her bed for some blessed sleep.
tornadough
Da flour-mixture only kneads to be needed --- I mean, I mean --- kneeds to be neaded --- never mind --- with moderate intensity; you don't "knead" to create a full-blown "tornadough" about it!
