I tried getting an injunktion against Target Marketing, but da annoying slick-surfaced flyers keep clogging up my mailbox, anyway!

Get the injunktionmug. An "instantaneous fury"-producing sound that you groggily hear in the fairly-early morning when you are still only half-awake --- it means that someone in your family has accidentally let a roller-type window-shade "gallop away from him" and "over-roll" untidily, instead of his keeping a proper hold of its lower edge and thus allowing it to gently/smoothly roll up in the normal way and stop near the middle/top of the window.
Dear Prudence,
My sister let the front window-shade go "Wheeeeee-flup-flup-flup-flup-flup-flup-flup!" this morning --- AGAIN! I try to not be cross with my sister, since I know that she merely forgets to grip the shade tightly enough as she releases it, allowing the shade to slip out of her small delicate hands and zip up rapidly on its own. But it still really irks me whenever I hear the "escaped" shade flapping and fluttering around, since it means that my sister then has to meekly ask me to rewind it for her (not being mechanically-inclined, she's never been able to rewind the spring very well herself); it entails my having to laboriously remove the entire messily-bunched-up-and-unfurled shade from its mounts, carefully re-roll the fabric neatly, re-tension the shade-spring, and then re-mount the roll onto its brackets again --- yuck! What should I do?
Exasperated
Dear Exasperated,
Join the club --- I fully sympathize; nobody likes to repeatedly perform a tedious task when conceivably it could be avoided fairly easily. I suggest that you either (1) add a ring-pull to the shade so that your sister can actually hook her finger through something when she operates the shade, or (2) replace the slim flat wooden stick at the bottom of the shade with a hollow lightweight plastic/aluminum tube; this added bulky thickness will prevent the end of the shade from slipping back underneath the roll and go whizzing around until the spring runs out of steam.

Get the Wheeeeee-flup-flup-flup-flup-flup-flup-flup!mug. What you put yourself in every tine you risk your fool neck on a rugged rocky mountain-trail in your jacked-up 4X4.
Some macho dudes love to put themselves in jeepordy by using their off-roaders to traverse nature-trails, but I'd rather hike the hills on foot, thank you very much --- much safer, plus I can actually get to savor the peace 'n' quiet and pleasant nature-sounds, rather than drowning out the lovely bird-songs and animal-twitters/peeps (not to mention scaring everything off within a bleepin' half-mile radius!) with my noisy roaring engine and thundering wheels!

Get the jeepordymug. Where --- rather than an undercover agent's getting a crime-organization to accept him into their group so that he can collect evidence to bust them --- a BAD guy surreptitiously sneaks his way into a GOOD organization in order to pilfer items and/or sensitive information from them merely to use for his own benefit.
Doc Brown kind of "played both sides of the fence" when he managed to infilchrate the Libyan terrorist group --- yes, he was indeed a "good guy" who was getting a bunch of evil men to trust him, although admittedly he was indeed there to dishonestly rob them of their bomb-making material. However, he was not stealing the plutonium to use for financial gain or a nefarious purpose, and thus he was not exactly being a "bad guy", either --- he was merely wanting to do something beneficial and progressive for mankind (i.e., invent a time machine), plus of course his relieving the hotheaded Arab crooks of their dangerous radioactive loot prevented them from using said fuel to make a bomb to hurt people, so that was a good thing, as well.

Get the Januwearymug. A determining of how many forked-tongued statements are being made in a particular speech of conversation.
After Fletcher Reede's son made his "no falsehoods spoken for 24 hours" birthday wish, Papa's everyday-situation statements and court-testimonies no longer needed analiezation to see if he was telling da truth of not.
