you-don't-say-tality

Somebody who dies from a heart attack because the person who called 911 was a mime.

Sadly, Keith's Aunt Connie was yet another you-don't-say-tality, which is more evidence that you should see a cardiologist before visiting a boulangerie.

some pumpkins

Unusually good.

I was going to watch the first half of the movie and then go to sleep, but I stayed up well past my bedtime because, as it turns out, The Lives of Others is some pumpkins.

maypops

I can't believe I lost a tennis match to that bama with those maypops. His shoes had pictures of celery on them.

getting on my pancreas

when someone or something is particularly pleasing or agreeable; the opposite of "getting on my nerves".

It was late, but still I was sad for dinner to end because she was really getting on my pancreas with her stories about yelling, "Hear ye, hear ye ..." during Confession.

mimioflexion

a picture that exhibits recursion i.e., a picture within a picture within a picture ad infinitum. Examples include the Morton's Salt Girl and the Land O' Lakes Lady.

Stephen Colbert and the Miami Dolphins eschew mimioflexion. It's as though they are thumbing their nose (and flippering their snouts) at the world's mimioflexion enthusiasts.
