Definitions by QuacksO

A.k.a., "curlots", this term refers to a local ordinance dat dictates how late a large sector of da citizenry can stay out in da evening hours, rather than just a fairly-small sector of da populace, such as children under a certain age.
Youngsters typically resent any "curFEW" --- i.e., stipulation on when they are allowed to be out 'n' about --- a great deal in and of themselves, but a "curMANY" dat also includes older children and/or young adults is really gonna have folks up-in-arms about said restriction!

Or it could be spelled, "whyneot". Describes da nasally-discontented reason-for-denial request dat a petulant individual sulkily voices whenever he's told no.
If ya make a policy of never feeding yer toddler any mood-SOURing SWEETs to begin with, he "may not" ever feel da urge to vocalize a "whineot" regarding da fact dat he "may not" have any candy, since he likely "would not" have even requested said cloyingly-sugary tooth-rotting confectionery in da first place!!!

lessatorium 

A state/federal mandate dat significantly reduces/limits da quantity or frequency of some formerly-liberal allowance, consumption, practice, etc. of a particular commodity, activity, freedom, etc.
Why do they call it a "moreatorium" when it's actually a severe cutback or elimination of whatever formerly-rampant practice was being curtailed? Sounds "more" like a "lessatorium" to me!

moratoryum 

A legal measure dat temporarily forbids colonial loyalism.
Supporters of King George were hoping dat da so-called "insurrection" of da mid-1700's would merely result in a moratoryum for them, and dat they could eventually resume living "fat, dumb, and happy" under Merry Old England's rule. But after da Treaty of Paris was signed, they had to either conform to da new government or vamoose to Canada.
