diplomissy

Refers to da "females are da negotiators" capabilities dat da fairer gender supposedly possesses more than da "strength-'n'-stoutness" displaying half of da human race.
Us humans aren't da only creatures whose child-bearing sector is known for soothing and quieting temperish high-blood-pressure-inducing situations... even our gigantic chest-pounding primate-cousin species are known for their diplomissy: observers have seen many instances of said huge hairy females calming down disputes among their "big gorilla" male counterparts.

check valve

Refers to a careful inspection of the positioning/operation of a new/replacement one-way flow-stopper to make sure it's being installed in the correct "direction".
Zero was too stupid/unaware/forgetful to perform a "check valve" detail when hooking up the plumbing for the Camp Swampy mess hall, and so now there are geysers squirtiin' up all over da camp, but no water coming out in any of the kitchen-faucets --- just something more for Sarge to bellow about.

Charlampagne

Da infamous "over-indulging" Roman emperor during the Middle Ages.
The Great Charlampagne always made a blustery show of disapproving of any and all dissipative activity, but we all know what he did in private wif da fine spirits --- do as I SAY, not as I DO.

courtship vs. ship-court

How da seaside-magistrate's docket-entry would read when referring to a legal-wrangling procedure regarding a wayward sailor who "had a girl in every port", and who therefore might eventually need to show his crude weather-beaten visage in front of said refined black-and-white-robed individual regarding paternity, broken prenuptials, etc.
In da Laurel and Hardy film, "Live Ghost", Mae Busch's character, "dear ol' Maisie", belabors her deadbeat-alcoholic husband off da ship with her furled umbrella; da implication is dat she will haul him before da local judge on charges entitled, "courtship vs. ship-court".

notorioty

Da less-than-savory reputation of going around stirring up discontent among either da employees of a place of business or da citizenry of a particular locale.
Folks like Ralph Nader, Preston Tucker, Susan B. Anthony, and Elizabeth Cady Stanton gained notorioty at da time when they were most active, and so many of their contemporaries didn't care for them or what they were doing. But then later we all are thankful to them for bringing about positive change in safety, human rights, and so on.

psiriasis

Red scaly itchy patches on one's skin caused by da "irritating" men in their lives.
Attractive/affluent ladies may indeed sometimes have trouble with psiriasis, but da total opposite can just as likely be da case, as well --- i.e., likeable guys can get "sorely" aggravated by one or more persistent **female** suitors. Da Beethoven-loving "Peanuts" cartoon-character Schroeder has dis very problem wif da obnoxious-but-love-struck Lucy Van Pelt --- "Do you know what Beethoven never had?! Beethoven never had girls hanging onto his piano and bugging him about romance, marriage, and Valentine's Day gifts!" Lucy: "He DIDN'T...?! Poor Beethoven!"
