sticker-shock
The feeling of stunned distress and horror upon seeing that your homies have applied dozens of adhesive labels all over your body while you were asleep, either because your mates simply are a**h**es, or they resent your taking a snooze while they're all slaving away in da hot sun. Extra points if they took the time to write separate derogatory/sarcastic messages on each of said labels, so as to get in a little extra "dig" at you each time you peel one of them off and read the acrdily-insulting comments scrawled on each label.
I woke up in my dorm room to find myself covered in labels with snide messages like "Sleeping Beauty's black-sheep bro", "Have a good nap, Prez Reagan?", "Goldilocks is in for a rude awakening when da Bear Family returns", etc. --- talk about sticker-shock!

check valve
Refers to a careful inspection of the positioning/operation of a new/replacement one-way flow-stopper to make sure it's being installed in the correct "direction".
Zero was too stupid/unaware/forgetful to perform a "check valve" detail when hooking up the plumbing for the Camp Swampy mess hall, and so now there are geysers squirtiin' up all over da camp, but no water coming out in any of the kitchen-faucets --- just something more for Sarge to bellow about.

paintstaking work
I did some really paintstaking work on da community-mural, and felt totally drained afterwards. But then everyone was super-pleased and praisingly impressed wif da final result, so I felt it was all worth da extra effort.

Prettykin diet
The infamous super-restrictive food-choice regimen that supposedly increases the chance that (1) your currently-existing relatives ("kin") will seem better-looking to you than they did before, and (2) you'll produce more attractive offspring than you might have with just a "regular" diet.
The Prettykin Diet is of questionable value at best, especially considering that (A) you'll likely feel ravenously hungry all the time, (B) it often produces horrendous flatulence, and (C) the diet's original founder committed suicide (or maybe he just succumbed to sheer hunger??).

flash-burn
A painful scorching of yer eyeballs caused by an exceedingly UNattractive female's briefly revealing The Merchandise to you, creating such shock and revulsion that it actually injures your unsuspecting retinas. Usually non-permanent, but can eventually cause significant damage if repeated and/or prolonged "exposure" is suffered.
I suffered an unexpectedly "revealing" encounter with a senile resident while visiting the local nursing-home, and so I hadda be rushed to the facility's infirmary with minor flash-burn.

comprovise/impromise
To partially allow for others' unique/particular wishes (i.e., "compromise") when brainstorming a low-cost/emergency solution ("i.e., "improvise") to a particular problem.
I always try to comprovise/impromise whenever I perform household upgrades/repairs, so that nobody is unnecessarily burdened/discomforted by said modifications.
