calmmerce
A lot of traveling snake-oil salesmen promised placidity-aiding elixirs for da mind and body, but said calmmerce usually only benefited said sellers, while da duped purchasers of his quack-cure products actually ended up even MORE tensely hot under da collar when they discovered dat da "medicine" they'd expensively bought was merely a useless (and often highly toxic, such as ones containing mercury or arsenic!) mixture of potently-nasty stuff like turpentine or 100-proof grain-alcohol, dangerous narcotics like opium or cocaine, and harmfully-powerful laxatives like castor oil and even petroleum derivatives.
Peruvian guilty
If Indy's two "native guides" had actually lived long enough to stand trial, they would almost certainly have been Peruvian guilty of all kinds of horrid stuff.

newtrition
All da refined-and-processed culinary-crap dat modern-day humans are stuffing down their gullets and invalidly viewing as healthy. Why not just go back to "oldtrition" --- i.e., simple natural fare like ordinary fruits 'n' vegetables, whole grains, lean meats, and fresh milk and butter and cheese like yer gramma used to serve??
Da term "newtrition" could also refer to either a balanced diet for yer tiny colorful amphibian buddies, or a meal-regimen dat actually includes said pliable wetland-dwellers. Presumably da recipient of said diet would just be a garter snake or other natural-toxin-immune organisms, though, since these small harmless-looking critters are actually highly poisonous to humans and many other meat-eating creatures. In fact, it's even advisable to wash your hands well after merely handling them, as even the comparatively minute amounts of their bodily-excretions dat you'd absorb through your skin can be very problematic.

sabotour
Dat one whiny/grumpy outing-participant who makes things miserable for both himself and everyone else in da walking-group. Da "growler" described in Maine author Leroy Dudley's "Chimney Pond Tales" book comes to mind as a classic example.
True story from last fall --- despite my careful map-drawing and diligent following of signs, I got temporarily mixed up while traversing unfamiliar roads to join about a half-dozen other middle-aged folks who were gonna hike a peaceful woods-trail to a lovely coastal inlet. Da group's guide had spoken wif me on da phone beforehand and thus knew dat I was super-interested in coming, however, and so he had gently asked everyone to wait a few more minutes till I came barreling into da trail-head's parking lot and apologetically sprinted over to join da group; I was super-grateful dat everyone was good-natured about my unforeseen tardiness, and therefore didn't view me as a sabotour!
morning brewtine
Some people absolutely HAVE to follow their "morning brewtine" --- otherwise, they follow their morning BRUTEine --- i.e., they're a real "bear" to everyone around them without their initial caffeine fix!

debtermination
Da government seemingly has a lot of "debtermination" in dat they charge us so much in taxes and other stuff dat they seem really set on getting us in da hole.
