bodily malfunction
When an normal-but-embarrassing offensive-noise/odor-producing event of the digestive/respiratory system (burp, cough, sneeze, etc.) "doesn't end well", producing messy/mortifying "secondary" results.
I thought I was just gonna fart, but I ended up poopin' my pants --- talk about a bodily malfunction!

Stockholm Syndrome
The problem of "sailing blind" caused by non-illuminated controls on the radar-scopes of large vessels.
The Andrea Doria's sinking was a classic example of Stockholm Syndrome --- if the Stockholm had been equipped with lighted instrument-panels, its collision with the Andrea Doria would probably never happened.

passing crush
Refers to a feeling of amorous admiration that you experience when catching sight of a hottie in a vehicle that goes by you on the interstate.
I had a passing crush on an auburn-haired hottie driving a convertible whom I saw while riding Greyhound. Fortunately, there were several other attractive likeable gals for me to hang out with at the next bus station, and we all had a two-hour layover in which to share friendly banter, so I pretty much got over the redhead; one of the placid-faced cuties at the station even comfortingly reminded me that the sports-car chick's "rare 'n' glamorous" tint had most likely just "come out of a box", anyway, especially since she looked somewhat Asian and didn't have any freckles.

emphemera
Vintage tobacco-product ads and other related crap that a select few touched-in-the-head antique-freaks actually view as collectables.
Good Samuraitan
A chivalrous medieval warrior who uses his skills as a swordsman to come to the aid of unfortunate fellow mortals.
Being a Good Samuraitan is a commendable endeavor, but one should take appropriate training to avoid unnecessary injury to himself or others while carrying out his patrols and rescues.

oilternative energy
X-on is all in support of powering vehicles with oilternative energy sources; that doesn't leave many cost-effective options, though. Solar and electric are too cheap and long-lasting to allow for the windfall profits that Big Biz wants.
