Joseph Hazelnut
The infamous coffee-imbibing Captain of the U.S.S. Juan Valdez that ran aground in Alaska's Prince William Sound and spilled huge quantities of Colombian coffee into the bay.
Somebody at X-on shoulda known better than to hire a sea-captain with a name like Joseph Hazelnut --- both his first AND last names would give a normal person da coffee-jitter nerves... "joe" is slang for coffee, and "hazelnut" is an actual FLAVOR of coffee... NOT a good combination for calm and alert piloting of a huge tanker-vessel through the reef-laced waters off Alaska!!

wrist-twist compromise
Refers to where you and another male friend are "group-spooning" with a nice gal on the beach or in bed, and she has her "lower" arm/hand (i.e., the one from the shoulder that she's lying on) extended out in front of her and the dude whom she's spooning is contentedly clasping this hand. So of course you therefore wish to hold her "upper" hand, but the prob is that this would ordinarily oblige one of you to rotate your wrist an entire half-turn to position your hand palm-upwards, which would likely cause a somewhat-painful wrenching of your wrist. So instead, you both twist your wrists just a quarter of a turn so that your palms are facing each other, and then interlace your fingers.
My buddy and I were having a nice long group-spoon with Tiffany as a reward for our assisting her around the house for a few hours, and I ended up spooning her from behind. Well, naturally, I wanted to hold her hand, but it would have been too painful for either of us to turn our hand upwards --- especially after the strenuous housework-exertion that we had all just been through --- so we performed a wrist-twist compromise and thus were able to happily clasp hands all the same.

Spock and Watson
I have Spock and Watson confusion --- I call Mr. Spock for pediatric advice, and summon Doctor Spock to the bridge of the USS Enterprise; I also approach Mr. Watson for referrals to da Great Baker Street Detective, and ask Dr. Watson for assistance in perfecting my telephone.

TelAvivangelist
Any of several Israel-based preachers who proffer rip-roaring "fire 'n' damnation" sermons on da boob-tube one or more times a week.
TelAvivangelists are all well and good for merely spouting sermons and expecting us to just accept what they say as true, but I would like to also hear from the opposing-viewed "AskAvivangelists", who pose the "tough questions" about religion that the prejudiced and closed-minded mainstream scripture-screamers aren't willing --- or even able --- to address.

dickshunary
The Church-approved/censored monk's word-reference manual; it avoids any mention of the male genitalia, since members of that group try their best to "shun" any thoughts about their "dicks".
I picked up a dickshunary for my child for a quarter at a monastery rummage sale so that it would be an "appropriate 'n' safe" version for young eyes, but then it was kinda awkward some years later when I needed to give him "The Talk", since he had no clue about "that subject" from having read his book.

non-prophet group
Any organization or gathering of realistically-practical and open-mindedly compassionate people who are genuinely trying to assist their fellow humans with specific problems, and who wish to do so in a sane rational truly-effective "real world" manner, without trying to force a huge load of prejudiced acridly-critical theological "tough love" babble down the throats of the unfortunates who are seeking their help.
I hate it when non-prophet groups are labelled as "heathen" or "atheist" --- heck, they're just trying to actually provide people with what they really need, but without being destructively judgemental... what's so horrid or "sinful" about that???
