Libyan gnashionalists

Da group of teeth-grindingly wrathful terrorists whom Doc Brown had tricked into giving him their plutonium with the understanding that he would incorporate it into a bomb that he'd been contracted to build for them, but instead he used said radioactive material to power his totally-for-peaceful-purposes time-machine.

Doc Brown found out da hard way dat da Libyan gnashionalists did not take kindly to having their trust --- and their plutonium --- repurposed in a way they had not intended. Fortunately for Doc, he wore a bulletproof vest da second time, and so things worked out fine in da end... Doc got to power his time machine, and da terrorists didn't blow up innocent people with their "bomb" which turned out to be just a container of old parts from pinball-machines.

lagerithms

Mathematical formulas used by researchers in their efforts to create an award-winning beer.

I do not currently consume alcohol and I never plan to let it touch my lips for as long as I live, so I dunno why my high-school math teacher insists on our learning about lagerithms.

common denominader

Da typical circumstance in which you usually find dat da "Unreasonable Man" is either present or significantly involved.

If you wanna know when/where ol' Ralphie will likely step in and try to make a difference, da "three big E's" --- i.e., economy, environment, and education --- are often a common denominader.

dustination

Can refer to either:
(1) Da wastebasket where you periodically dump yer loaded debris-scoop while sweeping up.
(2) Wherever famed actor Hoffman is heading towards at any given time.

I do indeed appreciate my physically-inform buddy's offer to help me tidy up, but da prob is dat he isn't very steady on his feet or able to keep a proper grip on da pan when carrying it to da waste-bin, and so he usually spills some of its contents before he reaches his dustination.

shampooh

Da "generic knockoff" dollar-store brand of kiddie scalp-wash available at a much-cheaper price than da "genuine article" dat comes in an Edward-Bear-shaped bottle.

I have always raised my children to ignore fancy-schmancy advertising and packaging, so they don't mind using just "bargain-basement" soap and shampooh for their bathing needs.

Ayatollah already

What Khomeini would say if you asked him the same question twice.

Carter: Will you release the hostages?
Kholmeini: The only way I'll release them is if YOU agree to ALL of OUR demands --- period.
Carter: So you won't consider releasing them just on your own?
Kholmeini: Ayatollah already --- YOU have to give US what WE want first!
