Blew By You 

Da famous lovely "highway-themed" song dat Linda Ronstadt composed to tell about what happened when she came barreling up behind you at 70-plus mph while you were just serenely moseying down da road at a much-more-modest 35.

Good thing dat none of da "men in BLUE" happened to be watching "Da Great L.R." on this particular occasion, or her now-world-famous "BLEW By You" song might never have been written.

Omar Sheriff 

Famous Egyptian actor who also served as police chief in his local area.

As experienced as Omar Sheriff was with law-enforcement, I'm surprised he didn't star in more crimefighting-type films.

plopulation 

The statistical figure showing the annual number of humans in a given geographical area who "bite the dust".

In the USA, the smoking-related plopulation is over half a million --- as an old article in a late-'80's issue of the Reader's Digest was titled, "the tobacco companies are getting away with murder!"

sirplus

Refers to the excess male population which therefore causes there to "not be enough women to go around".

People like Ted Bundy only make the sirplus worse, since their lady-killing rampages even further reduce the number of eligible women in the populace who could be paired with equally-eligible bachelors.

Calais 

A major city in France where people go to have corns and skin-thickenings removed.

Dermatologist, speaking on the phone to a prospective new patient: "Oh, yes --- I can definitely help you out, Sir. Just come right on up to my Calais office, and I'll be more than happy to remove your calluses, plus I promise not to be at all callous while I do so."

immigrinch 

Refers to a foreigner “transplant” who takes the festive cheer out of Christmas due to his differing and/or grumpy views about the holiday and its origins.

I am sure that there have been plenty of immigrinches ever since the time when Christmas was first celebrated, but the most famous example was probably Ebeneezer Scrooge... the book implies that he was a "native" of London, but one would seriously question how he could have felt so antagonistic towards Christmas if he had truly been exposed to the infectious joy and generosity that was typically displayed in London every year during that period... he must actually have been "from away", as we say here in Maine.

williewaw

The infamously-fierce-'n'-blustery "hurricane" of controversy and intrigue surrounding the Clinton-Lewinsky scandal.

Yeah, okay --- so da "great Bill C" got a little "candy on da side" from a cutie intern --- well, whoopdee-doodle-doo --- big bleepin' deal --- happens all da time all over da world! I still don't see what all da huge williewaw was about... why didn't the government and media concentrate their attention and resources on issues that truly mattered to the populous at large, such as homelessness, corporate crime, etc.???
