wake turbulence 

Da chaotic "whirlwinds" of aggravation dat occur when someone gets roused from a deep slumber.

Da term "wake turbulence" can also refer to a noisy disruption dat occurs during a paying-of-respects gathering, da arrival of da vocally-disgusted Doc Robinson during da King and Duke's disgraceful sham of a mourning-service comes to mind.

Orkestra 

A group of musicians on Mork's planet.

Since da inhabitants of da planet where Mindy's eccentric sidekick comes from are able to zap aggressors into submission just by pointing a finger at them, maybe an Orkestra of these friendly organisms could aid da Hobbits if they were being bothered by an "orcestra" of Sauron's elf-mutants.

mewtual friendship 

Where two people both love a four-footed purr-factory.

If one person savoringly cradles Mr. Fluffy and another person affectionately strokes him, dat sounds like an ideal mewtual friendship to me.

debrie 

Assorted flotsam and jetsam dat remains after cutting soft creamy cheese.

If you use a sharp knife to cut spreadable fermented-milk delicacy, there should be less debrie to clean up afterwards.

Juff Denham 

Da world-famous ventriloquist who dresses himself and his puppets in blue jeans.

If Juff Denham had teamed up with Carl Denham, they could really have made a super-spectacular "odd creatures" show, with both King Kong and a bunch of crazy puppets.

I prish-ee-yate it 

What you say to a fellow human to humorously express your gratitude for his favoring you in some way. Usually said regarding a fairly-minor assistance-extending, where exceptionally "proper 'n' dignified" thanks would not usually be expected; it can also be used to lighten da mood if da circumstances surrounding da other person's helping you had been somewhat trying, tedious, exhausting, etc.

Cool dude, #1: Sorry to interrupt ya, Bud, but before you re-mount my tire, could you possibly install a longer valve-stem for my rim, so dat I could more-easily add air when necessary?
Cool dude #2, who's operating da tire-mounting machine: Sure thing, Chief! I get 'em in bulk, too, so I'll only charge ya an extra two-fifty for it.
Cool dude #1: Thanks so much, Man --- I prish-ee-yate it super-greatly!

mill-rate

Da degree dat da state BMV and/or local assessors "put you through da processor" when deciding what da tax-percentage of da absurdly-inflated supposed resale-value of your property or vehicle is gonna be this year.

It's hardly surprising dat Maine has da highest mill-rate in da entire country --- heck, our current governor is even NAMED "Mills"!
