damming evidence 

Irrefutable proof that beavers have been busy at the roadside culvert or drainage-ditch.

D.O.T. worker: A huge mass of sticks and logs beside the bridge that crosses a brook is all the damming evidence I need that Eager and his flat-tailed buddies have been at it again.

assueme 

A word to describe what you do when you casually figure in your own mind that you can hold someone financially-accountable in court.

During an episode of AFV, Daisy Fuentes and John Fugelsang have a lively discussion about consumer-rights with regards to product-warranties. Daisy performs some amazingly-hilarious rolling/crossing of her lovely big bright eyes during the conversation, making John look like an even bigger crtybaby-idiot than he is already trying to portray himself as (he wonders if he has any legal recourse from injuries suffered from his having brainlessly sat on a copying-machine and getting glass-lacerations in his a**); Daisy's advice to him should probably be that he should not assueme anything in instances like this.

assertain 

To make a definite determination regarding someone's posterior.

A tight-fitting swimsuit can indeed show if a gal has a nice cute round rump, but you gotta actually "squeeze theeze" with your hand to assertain for sure if it is indeed as delightful as you'd expect.

alibuy 

1. A sob-story that you give someone for why you made an unnecessary/unwise purchase with his money.
2. An innocence-corroboration statement that you bribe someone to give the cops on your behalf.

When a well-to-do person seems to have lots of "witnesses" to corroborate his testimony, I automatically feel suspicious of their statements, since I figger that many of them may just be alibuys.

commercials-interlude scramble 

Refers to the suddenly-occurring interval of frenzied activity that you engage in while partaking of a favorite radio/TV show, and the program cuts to a commercials-break for a minute or two; there will be nothing of interest being broadcast --- and therefore you do not need to be glued to the speaker or tube --- during this period, and so you frantically rush around the room to attend to assorted matters that you'd been "holding" or "delaying" while your riveting program was on, such as going pee, checking/adjusting the washing-machine, grabbing a pillow/blanket, getting more snacks from the fridge, etc.

While binge-watching episodes of Knight Rider on DVD, I realized that I'd forgotten to have my daily apple. Now of course, unlike a regular radio/TV broadcast, pre-recorded home-media like this can simply be paused anytime you please without missing anything, but I wanted to experience this delightful "blast from the past" material in just the same way that I'd remembered it from having seen it years ago on NBC, and so I waited till the beginning of the next episode for the classic "Knight Rider, a shadowy flight into the dangerous world of a man who does not exist" introduction-speech to begin, then did my usual "commercials-interlude scramble" to retrieve a nice big Red Delicious and a paring knife, and then race back to the couch again before the episode-title was displayed.

Guestapo 

Refers to a group of heavy-handed party-attendees whose overbearing/arrogant attitude dampens the mood for everyone else.

Anytime I get invited to a community shindig, I always ask the hostess for a list of the people who plan to attend said party so that I can know if there will be any Guestapo individuals there, and so I can better determine whether I want to bother showing up myself.

lievelihood 

A means of self-support through falsehood.

Fletcher Reede would have to re-structure his budget and other financial affairs now that he no longer could maintain a lievelihood the way he had previously been doing.
