ansellary

Providing necessary support to da art of black-and-white picture-taking.
Everyone's favorite bewhiskered 20th-century shutter-snapper of majestic-vistas was very ansellary in da development and popularity of monochrome-type nature-photography.

Sasquatchewan

That rural Canadian province which is home to the majority of the Bigfoot population.

I'm shopping for someone else...

Da standard "please bear with me --- I'm not familiar with this type or purchase" preamble-remark dat you ruefully tell a store-employee whom you ask for assistance in finding/choosing one or more items dat you never use yourself, and so you have less of an idea of how to shop for it or maybe even where it's stocked in da store.
Two good examples of when you might tell a staffperson, "I'm shopping for someone else..." might be if you were looking for a type of media-entertainment (such as books, music, or movies) dat you have no interest in yourself, or if you merely lived a simple bachelor's existence and were procuring "fussy female stuff" items for a lady-friend, such as cosmetics, dress-up clothing, fancy table-setting accessories, etc.

puffed-cheeks splutter

What a parent or other older relative of an "innocent child" does when said uninhibited youngster blurts out a clever "in yer face" remark/response that said grownup and other observers find shockingly amusing.
It's always amusing when someone performs an involuntary puffed-cheeks splutter, but it is even more hilarious if the person happens to be taking a drink of water o r other liquid at the time, resulting in an enormous :"geyser" followed by a long bout of hacky coughing.

KARRbitration

Legal wranglings related to Da Evil Trans Am with da amber scanner-bar.
Considering all da chaos and destruction dat da "anti-Knight Rider" vehicle caused, I am sure there would have been KARRbitration for years afterwards!

Random McNally

A bu**s**t roadmap-producing company dat merely prints meaningless squiggly-line patterns on its driving-guide pages.
In da "Bill Nye The Science Guy" episode "Measurement", lady-detective Citronella Jones busts a whiny criminal named "Sniffley" for creating "merely eyeballed" markings on long narrow strips of wood and then trying to pawn them off as legitimate measuring-sticks; I wonder if he works for "Random McNally"?

What you say to your helper-buddy shortly after starting out on a tedious task that has shown itself to be a lot more complicated, slow-progressing, and/or time-consuming than you'd originally expected, or to a delinquent or other emotionally/mentally-challenged client who is unable/unwilling to just give you simple straight answers.
Dr. Phil: Let's talk about your childhood.
Madea: (with cheeky cheerfulness) Let's talk about YOUR childhood.
Dr. Phil: Okay, let's try a different approach. Do you sleep well at night?
Madea (breezily): Do YOU sleep well at night?
Dr. Phil: Sigh... gonna be here a while!
