Coined in 'Time Enough for Love' by Robert A. Heinlein, where he described a "companion querafansible with sophisticated controls". In the science fiction universe of the book, this may possibly refer to the equivalent of a smart toilet, a control panel for the shower, or any sort of more futuristic appliance that your imagination fancies.

Sorry, I knocked your querafansibles all over the bathroom floor.
Is that querafansible a teleportation device? I never knew there were planets where they used those in the bathroom.
There's a sale at Lowe's. Only 10% off kitchen appliances, but querafansibles are half price!

Get the querafansiblemug. The Cold War was a secret conspiracy between the presidents of the USA and USSR, whereby both countries would spend billions of dollars on military and defense and make it look like they considered each other a threat, when their true worry was that Earth would be invaded by aliens, after occurrences such as the Roswell incident.
Some people would say that dead spies and starving USSR citizens were a small price to pay for the amazing technological advances made during the Cold War.

Get the spark up a monkeymug. An expression used to wish someone success, good fortune, or a safe journey. Used as a non-religious alternative to Godspeed, especially by dog-lovers.

Get the dogspeedmug. Duck tape is NOT a mispronounciation of duct tape. Duck tape is the original name of the tape from when it was first invented and used by the military. Only, when people started using duck tape to repair ducts, it got the name duct tape.
Duck tape sucks for repairing ducts because it falls off after a while. The officially recommended tape for repairing ducts is foil tape.
Duck tape is used in movies extremely often. A few examples:
- Panic Room
- American Pie: The Wedding
- Frailty

The preponderant city shrouded its population in a blanket of smog, allowing them to forget that other cities even existed.

Get the preponderantmug. An old beaten-up motorbike, possibly second hand. Owners of motorbikes often affectionately call their crappiest bike 'The Rat'.
It's time I patched up the rat's exhaust pipe.
The rat broke down and I had to push it two miles to get home.
