Machiavorkianism

The concept of becoming so emotionally/morally detached that you feel comfortable with assisting someone to commit suicide.

I'm kinda "on the fence" about assisted suicides for terminally-ill patients, but I do acknowledge that there would definitely be some grave (pun not intended, but certainly appropriate) Machiavorkianism risks involved.

hemhawrhoids

Major pain-in-the-ass condition of acute indecisiveness that often causes mild-to-extreme physical/emotional/mental discomfort, inconvenience, confusion/resentment/impatience/exhaustion, etc. for all those involved, plus the major waste of time/opportunities/resources, inefficiency/stagnation, needless delays/cost-overruns, etc..

It is an erroneous belief that someone with hemhawrhoids can be cured/hurried along with a good kick in the rear end --- he's already a sore-natured a**h**e, and so any further physical trauma "back there" will only make his condition worse. Smearing on summa dat Pfizer-brand cream dat comes in a tube might indeed help wid da pain somewhat, but I don't know about significant improvement in da slowness-to-make-up-his-mind part of the equation.

conchubrine

A seashell that you secretly retain "on the side" to listen to the "sound of the salty surf" by holding the shell up to your ear during periods when you are unable to actually visit the seashore in person.

With the innumerable multitudes of bathers who visit the seashore, I don't think that Lady Ocean will be heartbroken or even actually notice my absence if I occasionally stay home with my conchubrine instead of loyally strolling her sandy shores each and every day.

high expectations

The inflated degree of hoped-for euphoria that one initially possesses when trying out a new psychedelic drug, spiritual/meditation regimen, etc.

It's not a good idea to have high expectations, especially if you have trouble handling disappointment. Everyone's metabolism and chemical makeup is different, so individual results and effects will vary widely (and WILDly).

morgueage

A property-owner's-loan contract with terms that are so grievous and/or long-term that the only time you will likely ever be relieved of it is after you "shuffle off".

A clever early-'80's cartoon-example of a morgueage: a scowling bill collector is shown speaking to a "Here lies John Smith" gravestone: "And so I am warning you for the final time, Mr. Smith --- if we do not receive your payment within two weeks, we are gonna hafta take some STERN STEPS! Do you hear me, Mr. Smith?! STERN STEPS!"

wedding serumony

A service where two "venomous" individuals tie the knot.

If a black widow and a black widower decide to get hitched, it is often a miracle if they even make it through the wedding serumony without at least one coffin's being sent in.

black widower

A dude who's had a long list of marriages, only to have each of his consecutive wives die and/or disappear under questionable circumstances.

Aside from execution, the only sure way to stop a black widower from continuing his ghastly lifestyle is to have him marry a black widow. Further explanation unnecessary.
