nightwink

When you wake up in the middle of the night, the moment when you check the time to see how much more time you have to sleep.

I feel fantastic today thanks largely to my great nightwink last night; I woke up to tinkle and learned it was only 2:14 AM.

Exxon Frank

somebody who is acting smug because they believe themselves to be unassailable, but little do they know that they can be gotten to. Just like that cocky tiger on the Exxon Tiger Marts who is no Tony the Tiger, that's for sure.

Look at Exxon Frank over there without a care in the world after stealing my white elephant gift, but wait until he sees that it's actually a novelty Theragun massager, which when you push the button, has a little flag that pops out and says, "Rub!".

whoabouts

Who somebody is. It is like the word 'whereabouts', but for identity rather than location.

How embarrassing that I ran into a former coworker at the Knapsack Store, but couldn't recall her whoabouts.

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.

Cindy Lou Hiccup

The first hiccup that occurs after a long enough respite that you got your hopes up that they were gone.

I was humoring my aunt when I tried her hiccup cure of curtsying four times whilst blindfolded, but I didn't hiccup even once in the minute that followed and indeed became a believer until alas, here comes Cindy Lou Hiccup leaving me crestfallen.

Otis Figaro

The little ball that dances jauntily atop song lyrics to let you know where you are in the song.

Daisy had the gumption to sing Nothing Compares 2 U at karaoke and we all thought Otis Figaro had malfunctioned at the word 'restaurant', but it turned out it was just a function of Sinead O'Connor's ability. We all had a lot of nerve to ever question Otis Figaro.

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.
