adversetisement 

A main-stream-media commercial or review that's broadcasted by a competitor or a disgruntled customer-group, and which criticizes or otherwise negatively portrays a certain product, service, philosophy, etc.
Henry Ford didn't mind having people launch acridly-critical adversetisements about him, he viewed those rants as just another way of spreading the word about his company and its merchandise --- "I don't care what you say about me --- just keep talking!"

clustermers 

A small crowd of people who enter a store as a group.
Having clustermers come in can be a store-owner's dream-come-true if each of the members of the group buys a few items, but it can also be a nightmare if they all just want to use the restrooms.

klutztomer 

A horrendously-clumsy aisle-browser who habitually wreaks havoc and chaos with a store's merchandise and/or display-shelves due to his brainless bumbling into everything in his path and his butter-fingered mishandling of the items he's looking at.
Archie Andrews seems to always make a mess at the local supermarket (especially if there are attention-distracting cutie-chicks among the other shoppers) no matter how careful he tries to be, so nowadays he usually just heads straight to the klutztomer-service desk and asks them to gather the items he needs.

Asp-berger’s Syndrome 

An affliction of snake-in-the-grass individuals.
Asp-berger’s Syndrome is highly dangerous to the gullible --- once you start letting sneaky con-men trick you, they will eventually turn and bite you in the a**.

lingering hand-clasp 

The tearfully-touching gesture that often occurs when a pair of hand-holders hafta take off in opposite directions but are reluctant to let go of each other's hand; it involves the couple's slowly walking away from each other but still retaining their finger-clasps until their arms are fully extended between them. Several extra points if you considerately take the time to gradually/gently slide your fingers free of your friend's in a slow affectionately-caressing movement.
Tiffany and I always make sure to perform the lingering hand-clasp whenever we hafta part company after a delightful beach stroll or dinner-date; it helps keep us happier and miss each other a bit less until we are able to canoodle again the next time.

Plymouth Rock 

The spot where the Mayflower landed, so named because the rock's shape somewhat resembled a Plymouth automobile. (Hey it must be true --- renowned historian Dave Barry said so himself! :P)
The whimsically-tasteful car-themed landscape (Cadillac Range/Tailfin Pass, Wheelwell Motel, Coolant-Filler-Cap Mesa, Hood-and-Fenders Bluffs, etc.) of Radiator Springs is hardly anything new --- almost 400 years ago, the Pilgrims named their original landing-point "Plymouth Rock" due to the rock's being shaped something like a Plymouth automobile.

A dreamed-of-but-non-existent euphoric/Utopian status that certain people expect to achieve from drinking Fanta.
Fantasy is a serious-enough delusion to have, but if this unrealistic mindset is maintained for a long enough period, the condition can progress into full-blown Fantacy, whereupon a straitjacket will likely be required.
