wizz-bang

when something meets with an unfortunate demise or the sound made when this occurs
“I twisted the dilly-doo until the thingy lined up with the whosie-whatsit and wouldn’t ya know it. The dingus got all gashnitzed and gashnizzled and the jobby-joo went wizz-bang out the back. Please forgive me if I’m getting too technical for you. It’s just that I’ve been workin’ in the doojigger biz since I was knee-high to a whatchamacallit and I rarely interact with you civilians.”

Power Carve

Verb
a type of manual locomotion whereby a person can propel a kick scooter (or similar device), without using their feet (or anything else) to swipe the pavement, all by manipulating his/her weight and cutting the handlebars back and forth (first demonstrated by “The T-Guy” on YouTube)
Dave crushed the longest glide competition on his Razor scooter when he ripped out a power carve at the end, pushing out an ever increasing distance until the judges, out of frustration, asked him to “stop”.

Draft My Flivver

Come with me, follow me (A “Flivver” was one of the slang terms for a Ford Model T but over time the usage grew to encompass all makes and model cars. Drafting is a term used in racing whereby one car would pull up right behind the car in front. If the rear car can stay in the slipstream of the other car then he/she could maintain the same high speed but also reduce his/her fuel consumption which results in fewer pit stops.)
Usage:
"I gotta squat for a jiffy wiz in The Gran Manzana and I've been head sparkin’ ‘bout pounding that Coney fillet in a twee fire-in-the-hole.
The dewclaws are up. Ya wanna draft my flivver?
Bang the pipes by 5:00 or hold peace.”

Translation:
"I’ve got a layover in New York City and was thinking about getting a hotdog in a quaint restaurant.
I’m enthusiastic. Do you want to come along?
Call me by 5:00 or it will be too late."

pachinko

verb
to negotiate through a field of scattered obstacles because there isn’t a direct pathway through

This is derived from the Japanese vertical pinball game called “pachinko”, in which the tiny steel balls have to randomly bounce and weave their way through a scattered field of little immovable pins.
“Did you ever notice how in a tourist trap there is no direct pathway to the only bathroom? You have to pachinko through a junk shop littered with display stands filled with rubber tomahawks, pecan logs and Mexican jumping beans.”

Perfect Girl

A perfect girl is the same as a regular girl but with equal parts sweet and dry vermouth (a martini typically uses dry vermouth and a Manhattan typically uses the sweet but the perfect Manhattan or perfect martini uses both).
Girl: I’m here. I got the vermouth but I didn’t know if you were making martinis or Manhattans so I picked up a bottle of each.
Boyfriend: Well aren’t you the perfect girl.
