notory public
Someone whose eccentric/undesirable behavior is all-too-well-known --- i.e., "notorious" --- all over town.
Hippie-types who strongly wanna spread their messages of, "save the whales", "no nukes", "peace on Earth", etc most definitely DO have my full support; it's when they get pushy or preachy and then start to piss off other people that they "cross the line" and become notory publics.

Asparagher's syndrome
Can refer to either of two equally-eccentric mental afflictions pertaining to asparagus:
(1) An overall confusion and OCD-like behavior caused by consuming too much asparagus.
(2) An obsession with asparagus and its supposed health-benefits. Often the sufferer will attempt to share said interest/beliefs with others in his community, causing said fellow citizens varying levels of discomfort, often depending upon how much a particular person likes asparagus.

Brer Rabbit surely acted kinda weird sometimes throughout da Uncle Remus tales; we do all know what his favorite food was, though, so I wonder if maybe he had Asparagher's syndrome.

taconite
The special multi-grain recipe used for making taco-shells; this unique "formula of flours" is a closely-guarded secret, just like the "how we mix it" proportions of ingredients for other famous highly-desirable (and therefore highly-profitable for their inventors who hold the patents on said delectables) concoctions like Coca Cola, Colonel Saunders' chicken-sauce, Damascus steel, etc. have always been "totally hush-hush" ever since said recipes were perfected.
kryptonite
A special formula of various metals used to powder-coat the tungsten filaments of super-bright incandescent bulbs; when the substance gets super-hot, it releases krypton gas inside the bulb, causing the filament to safely burn brighter and last longer.
I love da super-bright "upgrade" bulbs with kryptonite-coated filaments that are offered for some flashlights, but the problem with these "specialty" bulbs is that they both "cost all outdoors" and draw a lot more juice than just regular plain-tungsten bulbs do.

cryptonite
Can refer to either of two similarly-"weighty" definitions:
(1) Any complicated/intricate strategy --- such as using disappearing ink, light-sensitive/chemically-treated "disintegrating" paper that quickly becomes illegible, the addition/insertion of one or more confusing/misleading codes, etc --- that heavily "drags down" anyone's attempts to read/decipher an encryption.
(2) The amalgam of minerals used to make a special stone vault for human-burial purposes.

Our founding fathers surely doled out huge healthy doses of cryptonite in their efforts to prevent thieves from locating/accessing their "national treasure"; fortunately Benjamin Gates and his intrepid colleagues managed to de-code everything in time to prevent said treasure from falling into the wrong hands.

cryptonight
What your undertaker-beau sorrowfully tells you when he is obliged to decline your request for a "moonlight stroll" because he has an urgent job in the burial-cellar of the monastery that will likely keep him busy till well past midnight. A really "heavy" statement that totally "weighs you down" emotionally, but what are ya gonna do?
My main squeeze unexpectedly hadda assist da local priest in giving last rights to a recently-deceased fellow member of the clergy in the church basement this evening, and so he was obliged to sadly shake his head and tearfully tell me, "cryptonight". He did manage to get done with said job a bit earlier than he'd expected, though, and so he was eventually able to race home and change and then come and pick me up, after all; due to the late hour, we couldn't have a full-length date like we normally would, of course, but at least we still got to stretch out on the quiet wharf for half an hour, savoring the soft lapping of the waves on the pilings, and gazing up at all da friendly twinkling stars.

Angus Klingon
Maine's former head-up-his-a** governor who surely must indeed be "from another galaxy", as absurdly unaware as he seems to be about the reality --- and the basic needs --- of THIS one!
Angus Klingon may indeed be kin of a "race from out-space", but with those hideous bristly eyebrows and sneaky-looking up-swept creases around those shifty squinty eyes of his, he looks a lot more like a Romulan to me!
