climbate 

Refers to the overall tolerability/ease of climbing-conditions in a particular area of mountain-hiking trails.
Mount Katahdin is a lovely setting for a hike, but you should know that it isn't for the weak-kneed or faint-of-heart --- there are some terrifyingly-extreme climbate-conditions in several places, like the Knife Edge and the Chimney.

blastfamous

agarvation 

The disgust/distress/inconvenience connected with the production/processing/consuming of plankton-based proteins.
Some people swear by the health-benefits of super blue-green algae, and it's certainly not for me to say a word against it; it's just that I personally have never noticed anything positive from using it, I just find it to be a gross-textured and yucky-tasting agarvation, plus I just about liquid-poop my insides out whenever I take it!

auto-immune disorder 

An serious illness characterized by the inability to resist the allure of motor vehicles, whether it's buying more cars than you need, needlessly driving/riding in them for extended periods of time, tinkering/upgrading them unnecessarily, etc.
Tim The Tool-man couldn't resist driving his wife's antique Austin-Healey sports car even though she'd expressly forbidden him to touch it. He admits that he has auto-immune disorder --- he's thinking of checking into the Henry Ford Clinic. :P

squaushage

Refers to the units of measure that determines how much uncomfortable compression that a dude unintentionally subjects his love-pipe to while mounting a bicycle and accidentally pinching said tallywacker between the seat and his thigh.
Wearing a jockstrap can sometimes reduce the risk of squaushage in that it helps to keep your "equipment" tucked back up in where it belongs, but depending on the location/configuration of a particular dude's guy-junk and how hot/humid the weather is, those beastly elastics can often **cause** more discomfort/irritation than they prevent, especially if the dude is fairly well-endowed "down there" or possesses an unusually-large/flattish butt --- those pinchy straps and the quilted-surfaced cup can be a nightmare of pressure and chafing.

hoop-skirt 

A huge broad funnel-shaped hopper-like device that's designed to fit down over-top of a basketball hoop, and to catch virtually all the shots so that they'll go through the hoop.
A standard hoop-skirt is made from heavy canvas or other thick easily-visible material, and is just a novelty/gag item that's intended to merely cause observers to snicker and roll their eyes as they watch the players score a hoop almost every time (similar to when a backyard jokester uses lengths of stove-pipe for guiding the ball when playing croquet). "Specialty" or "stealth" models of hoop-skirt are available, too, though --- they are made from ultra-transparent and non-reflective material in order to be virtually undetectable, and can be used to help "level the playing field" during actual team-competition games; they allow the less-capable/practiced side to increase their chances of beating --- or at least scoring a lot closer to --- their better-skilled opponents.

Cawcasian 

1. A rare breed of albino crow.
2. Arrogant white folk who are always "crowing" about their "purity" and "supremacy"
Clyde Robert Bulla was one of the first writers to spread the word about Cawcasian crows in his book, White Bird.
