bamboo-zled

Tricked into thinking you’re getting real bamboo when it’s actually just some cheap crappy imitation (think, using dried marsh-grass blades or cattail leaves for creating a basket, lamp-shade, or mat/curtain, instead of da genuine natural-plastic woven slats).

I hired a fly-by-night landscaper to plant a “tubular grass” fringe around my house, but the lyin’ shyster just stuck in a weedy thicket of Japanese knotweed --- I got seriously bamboo-zled on THAT deal!

crime of the sentry

Da fox guarding da henhouse (duh), pulling off da perfect heist unrivaled by any crime in da past hundred years.

Maybe it is indeed true dat "da butler did it", but in order to pull off said "crime of the sentry", said suave ironed-coat-and-starched-tails lackey would have needed help from da front-gate watchman, as well.

papyruscy

Plagiarism in ancient times.

Seeing as how it's been so long since da ancient scrolls of Rome, Greece, and Egypt were originally penned, any associated copyrights have probably long since expired, and thus da content of said vintage texts has likely passed into da public domain; I would therefore imagine dat nowadays you would be free to quote from these antique writings all you want without fear of being sued for papyruscy.

assetylene torch

What you use to really "light a fire under someone's posterior".

So many politicians and other officials are really lazy about getting up off their butts and actually fulfilling their assigned duties; we often need to resort to breaking out da assetylene torches just to get said fat-cat indolents to do their jobs!

recooperate

What you hafta do after being shut up indoors for too long.

My horses hate being stuck in da barn during da winter, so during warmer spells and as early as possible in the spring, I always open da stall-doors and give them lots of outdoor frolic-time to recooperate.
