QuacksO's definitions

subtleteas

Barely-perceptible variations in boiled herbal-beverages.

James Bond always asks for "shaken but not stirred" during his formal dinners, but said "subtlety" in culinary preference refers to an alcoholic drink, and so it does not involve any "subtleteas" --- his many relationships with hot women do indeed include ample "subtletease", but DAT relates to entirely different subject-matter! Same deal wif "subtletees", which da shamelessly-cheating Auric Goldfinger ran afoul of at da 18th hole when Bond insisted on da previously-agreed-upon "strict rules of golf".

shampooh

Da "generic knockoff" dollar-store brand of kiddie scalp-wash available at a much-cheaper price than da "genuine article" dat comes in an Edward-Bear-shaped bottle.

I have always raised my children to ignore fancy-schmancy advertising and packaging, so they don't mind using just "bargain-basement" soap and shampooh for their bathing needs.

suenami

A massive "tidal wave" of self-enrichment-seeking prosecutions following a natural disaster.

After Hurricane Katrina, da local attorneys handled an absolute suenami of money-grabbing litigation!

dyeagram

A schematic of a pigment-processing machine.

I bought a second-hand fabric-tinting machine that had minor issues, but it came without a maintenance manual, so I had to Google a dyeagram to print out and study.

lagerithms

Mathematical formulas used by researchers in their efforts to create an award-winning beer.

I do not currently consume alcohol and I never plan to let it touch my lips for as long as I live, so I dunno why my high-school math teacher insists on our learning about lagerithms.

dustination

Can refer to either:
(1) Da wastebasket where you periodically dump yer loaded debris-scoop while sweeping up.
(2) Wherever famed actor Hoffman is heading towards at any given time.

I do indeed appreciate my physically-inform buddy's offer to help me tidy up, but da prob is dat he isn't very steady on his feet or able to keep a proper grip on da pan when carrying it to da waste-bin, and so he usually spills some of its contents before he reaches his dustination.

williewaw

The infamously-fierce-'n'-blustery "hurricane" of controversy and intrigue surrounding the Clinton-Lewinsky scandal.

Yeah, okay --- so da "great Bill C" got a little "candy on da side" from a cutie intern --- well, whoopdee-doodle-doo --- big bleepin' deal --- happens all da time all over da world! I still don't see what all da huge williewaw was about... why didn't the government and media concentrate their attention and resources on issues that truly mattered to the populous at large, such as homelessness, corporate crime, etc.???
