dyer consequences

Retaliation in da form of splashing/smearing ink everywhere.

Some bingo players become so incensed at not winning dat dey actually "go nuclear" with their card-daubers, and thus everyone's faces, hands, and clothes suffer dyer consequences. Yet another good reason to not participate in games of chance in da first place!

wreckless

Often-misunderstood-by-adults term used by teenagers to honestly describe their early years of careful and accident-free driving ("my early wreckless years"). Parents and authorities, naturally, are usually way too thick-headed and closed-minded to realize what the virtuous teens are referring to, and so they continue to criticize the teens as being scatterbrained and out of control, rather than praising them for their exceptional lifestyles and commendable habits.

Parole officer: So, young man, I understand you've been drinking for three years now?
Teen: Yeah, I started way back in my wreckless years.
Parole officer (disgustedly): Ahhhh... so you had no brain-sense back THEN, either, eh?
Teen: No, no, no... what i meant was ---
Parole officer (impatiently): Nah-ah --- no need to explain. I believe I am getting the picture perfectly loud and clear. I'm gonna recommend another three months' probation for the likes of you.

scream therapy

A controversial health-improvement regimen of unproven worth/efficacy that entails either:
1. Yelling at everyone around you to help decrease your own level of stress (naturally, this practice drastically **increases** these other hapless mortals' OWN stress-levels, but this is for medical purposes, so those folks' feelings and emotions don't matter during this period, right? Right???)
2. Watching one or more Kevin Williamson flicks to remind yourself of how bad things *could* be, letting you feel better that you aren't involved in "extreme" situations like that.

I'm not much for scream therapy; whenever I feel wound up, I just go down to the local marina and sit on the dock to watch the peaceful waves rolling in and softly lapping the shore... relieves my jangled nerves every time.

weighbill

A bu**s**t document dat supposedly states da tonnage of "heavy" cargo to be transported.

If you mail a package dat qualifies for "library rate", you may indeed get a drastically-reduced shipping-charge, but da postage is still determined by said parcel's poundage, so you will still need a weighbill.

quackusation

A complaint filed by a duck against a vet which claims dat said medical practitioner lacks legitimacy.

Foxy Loxy could likely have been slapped with a quackusation for trying to hoodwink Mr. Lucky and all da story's other avian characters into thinking dat da sky was indeed falling so dat he could capture and eat therm, rather than just revealing to them dat it had merely been a harmless acorn dat had dropped on Chicken Little's head.

kudu

1. An African species of antelope.
2. A classic "knock-knock joke" word to humorously request minor assistance from someone, especially if your request is a bit irritating and/or inconvenient for your would-be helper, and so you want to add a little light-heartedness to your question.

(requested of an elderly neighbor who's comfortably reclining in a shaded hammock in his back yard on a hot sunny day)
Knock, knock...
Who's there?
Kudu.
Kudu, who?
Kudu possibly fill up my canteen, and drop in an ice cube or two?
