A labor-saving product dat spreads pigment by use of explosives, rather than people's having to tediously brush it on by hand.

alfalfabet 

An A-to-Z guide to plant-based livestock-feed.
From curiously Googling a bit, I see now dat I actually wasn't entirely joking about this loopy word when I'd thought of it --- there is indeed a kiddie-book by Carol Watterson featuring da "alfalfabet", so I don't hafta bother to think up any clever details myself here. :P

moniterry value 

Da open-market price for fluffy fabric.
Once towels become soiled or stained, there would indeed be a huge reduction in their moniterry value, but you could always launder and bleach them, and thus end up wif perfectly-usable absorbent-fabrics dat were obtained at a fraction of da cost of buying them new.

commietose 

What Senator McCarthy would likely have made all of Congress --- himself included, perhaps --- if Maine's most famous woman hadn't been da sole congressperson to stand up to him and say he was mistaken.
True story: go to da Maine State House in Augusta and see a huge lovely framed portrait of da historic lady-senator --- da first woman to serve in both houses, in fact --- who single-handedly kept da entire Congress from going commietose.

Murphy's Law of shaving 

You can wait 'n' wait till clear into mid-May to trim off your itchy bushy Santa-Claus winter beard and you'll have nuthin' but sweltering-skinned moderate-temperature days all along, but if you "break out da Norelco" at any point during dat period, da weather will immediately turn frigid and blustery again, and then you'll have chilly-cheeks syndrome for an entire month!
One good way to minimize da "Murphy's Law of shaving" debacle is to simply wait till da end of March to "mow da lawn" --- dat way, you'll not be so likely to needlessly suffer from extra-warm weather-temps' making your chin and jowls feel like they're inside a blast-furnace, but on da other hand, it will minimize da chances of "freezin' yer face off", too, since there are seldom any significant cold snaps later than three months into da new year.

sunopsis 

A "distilled" documentary regarding da giant fireball in da sky.
There are so many facts and details regarding Earth's "personal star" dat it would likely take too long to actually "read all about it" --- a sunopsis might be more sensible for brushing up on said brilliant object's basic history and attributes.

sonopsis 

Highlights and milestones from Junior's diary.
Tronald Dump would have a simple sonopsis --- "I was born with a silver spoon in my mouth, and so I've been coasting on Daddy's money ever since."
