wad-swat 

What you perform when a biting insect lands on a "strictly-hands-off" area of someone else's body, and so you have to use a crumpled piece of fabric to dispatch said blood-sucker.

Tiffany and I were out for an afternoon beach-stroll and a mosquito landed on her butt --- naturally I couldn't touch her "down there" while we were in public, but we both still were carrying our beach-towels, so I hastily bunched mine up and gave that impudent insect a wad-swat.

testify under oath 

Where you **swear** to tell the truth.

Confused social-studies student: I was always under the impression that you're supposed to be polite and respectful whenever you in a court of law, not lace your language with profanity --- why should anyone be compelled to "swear" to tell the truth when he agrees to "testify under oath"???

Charlottan

An impersonator who claims that she is named "Charlotte", even though she is not.

Even though everyone knows that the book "Jane Eyre" has been around for over 150 years, there are still a lot of Charlottans around who claim to be the author.

pre-favor 

Where you do something for someone without being asked, and then try to throw it back in their face by demanding either payment or an unreasonable favor in return.

Two classic examples of shameless "pre-favoring" are:
(1) Offering to buy a girl lunch and then afterwards pressuring her to have sex with you --- or at least allow you to touch her intimately --- in return.
(2) Voluntarily performing some household chore like sweeping or snow-shovelling, and then telling the homeowner that he is now obligated to either give you cash or buy you a pack of cigarettes as payment for your labors.

sinnertor 

A less-than-honest member of Congress.

If they had a confessional-booth for government-officials in Washington, it would be mobbed 24/7 --- so many sinnertors there!

The Greed Breed 

A.k.a. "closet coveters" --- i.e., people with a stronger-than-normal tendency towards grabbiness, but who usually do not openly admit it.

I hitch-hiked downtown to scavenge the waste-paper bins at the post office, looking to see if anyone had discarded any Nielsen TV Ratings Survey envelopes with two $1 bills hidden inside... yep, got to admit it --- guess I've finally joined "The Greed Breed", LOL!! Well, maybe I'm not really being greedy per se --- I mean, I just would hate to see perfectly good cash get discarded, merely because many of the junk-mail envelopes' other recipients didn't even know dat da cash was in there. Who WOULDN'T wanna pick up an easy two bucks just like that???

Alamony

Veterans widows benefits paid to Elizabeth Patton-Crockett and other wives of the deceased patriots from the Texas Revolution massacre.

For some divorced husbands, having to pay alamony actually feels comparably painful to being killed in action at the infamous Mexican chapel.
