infurinadered
How our foremost consumer-protection/environmentalism advocate would feel if the "unsafe at any speed" Chevy Corvair were re-introduced for sale to the public.
I am so glad that good hardworking ol' Ralphie lobbied so hard back in the '70's for safer standards in car-designs --- I'd surely be infurinadered if they were still making vehicles so carelessly as they were before he spoke out.

groanup
An unmotivated adult --- usually at least somewhat out-of-shape physically --- who wheezingly/gruntingly shirks his basic duties, especially when it comes to caring for young children.
Every time we have a family get-together, my parents always assign some groanup --- an aunt, uncle, grandparent --- to "look after" me, but all that person usually does is either moan about being too weak/tired/ignorant to help me with whatever question/problem I come to him about, or pretend to never understand what it is that I want.
pass-along favor
Where you "skip a step" when doing something nice in return for the kindly assistance of someone else.
The classic pass-along favor in its simplest form involves three people (Persons A, B, and C), and works as follows: Person A assists/accommodates Person B in some way, and so Person B wishes to return the favor. At that particular time, though, Person A does not have a need for anything that involves the skills/abilities that Person B happens to possess. Person A, however, either owes Person C a favor or is tasked with providing Person C with frequent care/assistance, and so Person A requests Person B to do something nice/helpful for Person C, thus saving Person A from having to assist Person C on that occasion.

sleep-walker
A restless tenant of an apartment-complex or campground who has "intimately befriended" two separate similarly-desirable fellow-residents of the opposite gender, and thus he cannot decide which person he prefers to share a pillow with, obliging him to sleepily stroll back and forth between the two willing cuddlers’ domiciles several times per night.
Horny stud: I went half-crazy trotting back and forth between Tiffany’s and Ashley’s rooms till well past midnight, what with my both craving the other gal’s company whenever I was in one chick’s bed, and feeling heartbrokenly guilty of temporary "abandonment" each time I’d tearfully leave one gal’s bed to slip over to the other’s. Finally a simple solution to my sleep-walker dilemma occurred to me --- I just drowsily sling-snuggled both half-asleep cuties to my own apartment and invited them to crawl into bed on either side of me; that way, not only did I get to enjoy both of their sweet close-clasping warmth and softness at once, but they both got multiple turns of alternately spooning me and nuzzling their cheeks against my fuzzy chest, depending on which side I’d progressively roll over on every half-hour.

sighsmometer
A pneumatic-bellows-type device that is attached to a patient’s chest with Velcro straps, and is used to measure how deeply/evenly the patient is breathing.
If Ethan Couch had to lie still on a doctor’s exam-table for more than a few minutes, he would probably wear out the sighsmometer with all of his impatient wheezing and moaning about having to remain immobile for that long.

Swiss-cheese the job
Refers to either of two strategies for reducing the distress/fatigue/boredom of performing an extra-disagreeable task; you either "layer" the labor --- i.e., perform a few minutes' work on the yucky job, then go do something else for a while, then return and work some more on the drudgery-task, then take another break with less-agonizing labors to again relieve your feverish emotional suffering, and so on --- like the cheese and lunch-meat in a sandwich, or else you "poke holes" in the disgusting task --- i.e., perform one or more smaller random bits of the job at a time as your gumption permits, so that the overall endeavor becomes more and more "fragmented and hollowed" (like the holes in Swiss cheese) as time goes on --- until the task eventually gets wholly completed by being gradually-but-steadily "chipped away at" over the course of a few days until it's all gone.
I soooo didn't wanna clean out all da musty crap in da storage-shed out back... the task seemed just too daunting and tedious to try to tackle all in one go. So I decided to Swiss-cheese the job instead --- just kinda "picking at the edges" of the jumbled heap over the course of a couple weeks --- and eventually I had the entire pile removed and the floor nicely swept out again.

Michael Milk'em
The infamous effeminate-featured junk-bond swindler from the '80's who selfishly viewed his investors as merely bountiful dairy-cows waiting to be gluttonously guzzled from.
Michael Milk'em squeezed and drained his investors dry, and then good ol' Bernie "made off" with the ill-gotten "liquid assets".
