cameow

A "blink and you'll miss it" appearance of a famous feline in a movie.

It would likely be difficult to have a noticeable cameow in da movie "Cats", since da entire film is nothing but said "whiskered wonders".

Boiseterous

Da noisily-festive status of Idaho's capital city during any major gala event.

My tastes in recreation run more towards drifting quietly around da pond in my rowboat and going for serene relaxing nature-trail strolls, so I prefer to avoid da Boiseterous big-city goings-on whenever I visit da Potato State.

obeadyent

Following specified rules regarding da stringing up of necklaces and bracelets.

T'ain't no fun bein' watched like a hawk by an overseer with small glittery eyeballs while taking jewelry-making classes... rather than making everyone be obeadyent, let yer **pupils** (get it? Eyes? :P) have some creative freedom in da colors, sizes, and arrangements of da decorative spheres dat they're each assembling into something unique and expressive.

religious engine-cranking

Onomatopoeia description for the sound of a starter-motor.

When cold-starting a vehicle with a carburetor instead of fuel injection, one should use this religious engine-cranking method:
(1) Push-and-release the gas-pedal to the floor twice. ("Pumpa-pumpa")
(2) Crank the engine for one second. ("Jesuit-esuit")
(3) Push-and-release the gas-pedal to the floor two more times. ("Pumpa-pumpa")
(4) Crank the engine for one second again. ("Jesuit-esuit")
(5) Push-and-release the gas-pedal to the floor three more times. ("Pumpa-pumpa-pumpa")
(4) Crank the engine again for several rotations; it should start this time. ("Jesuit-esuit-esuit-esuit-vrOOOOM!!")

doury

A financial expenditure/transfer dat a woman's family shells out to her new husband upon her wedding, but are none too thrilled about it.

In da W.C. Fields comedy, "The Dentist", da cantankerous lead character is crowd-pressured into agreeing to allow his daughter to continue having da ice-delivery man as her fiance, but I'm guessing dat said heatedly-resentful practitioner was really ears-smokingly begrudging wif his doury when they did eventually get hitched!

Brig'em Young

A sarcastically-disparaging nickname given to an overly-strict-'n'-severe military-base supervisor who staunchly believes in da appallingly-prejudiced "you can't teach an old dog new tricks" philosophy, and who therefore thinks dat any even-minorly-misbehaving "Army brat" should automatically be sent to da slammer, rather than being given a lighter punishment like probation or community service.

George Beat-Around-Da-Bush said he'd give us a "kinder gentler America" during his presidency, but said lofty promise never seemed to actually come to fruition --- selfishness and violent crime have climbed to an all-time high, and we still have plenty of "Brig'em Young" figures terrorizing da offspring of our nation's veterans!

Some overly-rough or dangerous actions during a baseball game are illeagueal, regardless of whether it's in a professional setting or just a backyard game among pre-teen players.
