skullduggary 

Refers to the assordid underhanded "skeleton in the closet" shenanigans that are only just now being revealed about the biggest (and biggest hypocrite) family in the USA.

That two-faced 21-member family on TV sure has some skullduggary in their past!

coin-siderate

Refers to someone who is "kind" or "thoughtful" to someone else by spending excessive/unnecessary money on him, or by giving the person undeserved/unearned cash gifts. Often used in a sarcastic/disapproving manner, where the speaker feels that the fiscally-generous person is either just being overindulgent (like a doting gramma/grampa to a spoiled/impressionable child whose old-school/austere parents want to train the child with the "you have to earn what you spend, and good behavior should be practiced without expecting to be bought/bribed" mentality), or is trying to manipulate/pressure the "favored" individual by paying him to perform dishonest actions and/or sexual favors for the giver.

That sugar daddy is sure coin-siderate to his lady-friends, yet he won't spend a bleepin' DIME on his own kids or on donating to worthy general-assistance causes in his area.

face the music 

In addition to the "standard" definition of someone's coming forward and submitting to others' wrath over some stupid blunder/selfish misbehavior that he has committed, this term can also refer to the guilty individual's sentence being that he is obliged to listen to one or more horridly-performed vocal/instrumental selections, or to endure a period of a music-type that he abhors, such as if he only likes crash 'n' bash hard-rock/heavy-metal, but is forced to endure an hour of opera or chamber music.

excerpt from an old late-'90's Reader's Digest article that humorously speaks about how many teenagers absolutely loathe hearing their "musically impaired" parents sing anything, and thus how forcing them to listen to said ear-grating vocalizing would be a far more effective punishment/crime-deterrent than any currently-employed methods, such as fines or jail: Judge, gravely: Young man, this is the third time you've come before me in this courtroom. This is a very serious situation.
Juvenile delinquent, sullenly: Yeah, whatever.
Judge: Your previously-lenient punishment does not seem to be working. Your behavior has not improved at all, and so I am going to have to give you the very stiffest sentence possible in this case --- you're really going to have to "face the music" now.
Juvenile delinquent, shrugging with a devil-may-care attitude: Yeah, what else is new?? So what's it gonna be --- more JAIL TIME?!?!?
Judge: No --- jail is too good for you. I'm gonna have your mom come up here and sing "America the Beautiful" on the court karaoke.
Juvenile delinquent, widening his eyes in horror: Oh, NO, Sir --- please --- anything but that, Sir! Send me back to jail --- make me do community service --- anything else --- just not THAT, Sir!

bonkers 

The heady crazed state achieved by a group of giggling people while indulging in a frenzied round of bonking each other's noggins with empty 2-liter plastic soda-bottles. The loopy euphoric mood can be heightened even more by (1) using the jumbo-size 3-liter bottles instead of the 2-liter size, since the bigger firmer bottle produces a more solid *thunk* and bounces higher with each klonk, and/or (2) using two bottles at once --- one held in each hand --- to simultaneously pummel the heads of your two nearest neighbors in the crowd.

My buddies and I went totally bonkers at the beach party last evening; it had been a really hot day, so we had accumulated such a sizable pile of empty soda-water bottles that there were more than enough for all of us to each swing two bottles apiece.

worldwide shortage strategy 

The overused and ludicrously transparent procedure of trying to guilt-trip an over-indulger into reducing/eliminating his consumption of the unhealthful/expensive product by trying to appeal to his inherent consideration for fellow humans on the planet who might wish to have a little of the same item for themselves, too. This "this stuff is in alarmingly short supply, so don't hog it all for yourself" technique is seldom overly effective, especially in the modern-day computer age, wherein the glutton can simply “hop online” and find out for himself whether there is actually any imminent risk of said product’s being placed on the endangered species list.

I tried the worldwide shortage strategy on my corpulent cousin to try to convince her to cut back on the chips and chocolate bars, but she just showed me an article on MSNBC that described how the snack-food companies are currently experiencing a junk-food glut in their warehouses, what with so many people’s jumping on the health-nut bandwagon.

filibluster 

An extended interval of loud/tempestuous monologue/dialogue that's intended to bully down and/or suppress opposition/suspicion, without actually providing any true validity or solid tangible proof that the proffered opinions/assertions are actually reasonable, accurate, etc.

Nobody listened to Bill Clinton's filibluster about "For the record, I did **NOT** **HAVE** **SEXUAL** **RELATIONS** with that woman." And they aren't listening to him now, either, especially since it was later revealed that he had indeed "gotten some".

richual 

Refers to a recurring tradition of financial enhancement/replenishment that is practiced by various entities (government, landowners, etc.), generally at the expense of those least able to pay.

The IRS practices its annual richual which culminates around April 15th of each year.
