OMLC disorder

Stands for Obsessive Mailbox-Lid-Closing Disorder, and refers to the overwhelming/imperative urge that compels you to shut the doors of other people's roadside mailboxes and/or post-office-safes that have been accidentally left open.

(P.S. --- Occasional resulting angry shouts of, "Leave my 0%!$&@!# mailbox alone!" be HANGED --- by thunder, you're gonna be helpful to others whether they like it or not!)

OMLC disorder is debatably not even all that unreasonable or "invalid" an urge, since The Golden Rule would always be solidly behind your actions... you are merely doing what YOU would wish OTHERS to do for YOU --- it would indeed be logical that you would appreciate someone else's taking a moment to close YOUR curbside/USPS mailbox-door if YOU had accidentally left it open, so that rain wouldn't get inside it, or to not only prevent a less-than honest person from stealing just the careless/forgetful boxholder's mail, but also to avoid the thief's reaching his pilfering hand away back into the open **rear** end of the box and stealing the mail from the eight **surrounding boxes**. as well. What's so loony or irrational about THAT???

userious interest-rate

A loan-shark's "percentage extra" quote which is so outrageously exorbitant that you incredulously reply, "You serious?!"

In one of comedian-duo Bob 'n' Ray's "Garish Summit" episodes, mob-boss Harold W. Bigg grumblingly opines that the 50% "preferred borrowers" interest-rate that they've been allowing Caldwell Merchfield is too low now that Caldwell has been promoted to a higher-paying job at his family's lead-mining business; Mr. Bigg now feels that an even more userious interest-rate might be in order.

reefund

Reimbursement of payment for a cruise when da boat you were riding in fetched up on da rocks.

Da pilot of our tour-boat was smokin' a REEFER and thus did not observe da shallowly-submerged ledge; we were stuck there for several hours till another boat came to offload us all, and so da cruise-line gave us all a REEFUND.

torchure

What using a gas-powered welder/cutter can be if you either don't enjoy such labor or da conditions dat you're operating under aren't conducive for comfy metalworking, such as it's being a hot/humid locale, da working-position is awkward, etc.

One should take care to have plenty of ventilation and arrange for a sensible/stable working-position when doing flame-based metal-fabrication/salvage; otherwise, said task can be downright torchure.

Frankenwhine

A bratty little buck-toothed green-skinned "monster" who is always complaining, constantly demanding attention, never satisfied with anything, and nasally begging for items on the shelves of the department store or supermarket. Just about every family has at least one of these delightful rug-rats somewhere in its "flock"; it's just that nobody wants to admit his existence or reveal who the "ram" and "ewe" were who ever conceived this infamous "black sheep", nor does anyone even want to be saddled with the unenviable task of being the delinquent's "shepherd" for the day. Even school days may bring little relief from his torment for the adults back at the house, since he often gets sent home from school for disruptive behavior within the first hour of attendance --- the teachers and hall-monitors can't stand to deal with him, either.

I hate attending my neighbors' backyard barbecues because there's inevitably at least one Frankenwhine in their midst who ruins the day for everyone else.

rentity

A nameless HOA dat bugs you for monthly payments to live under their "care".

My home is kinda dingy and shabby, but at least I own it outright, and so I'm not having to answer to any rentity multiple times a year!
