Wise Use

A cabal and political lobbying movement of corporate entities who are very environment-unfriendly and frequently engage in greenwashing activities.

I just heard that the Wise Use people want to cut down some more forest area in Russia.

nomonia

Dreaded disease caused by a lack of capital. Pronounced "no-MONEY-ah", punning on "pneumonia", its symptoms are: complaining about how broke one is, loss of weight because of a lack of food to eat, and general nastiness until the next paycheck comes.

A week before payday, I always come down with nomonia.

dippity doo-dah

Serendipity; a pleasant occurrence of chance.

I just lost my glasses this morning, but lo and behold, it was by 'ole dippity doo-dah that I managed to find a pair of glasses that I can see out of even better than the ones I lost!

Pronounced with a short "oo" as in "foot", this means sleep. Onomatopoeietic for the sounds of snoring.

Mommy, are you going to fooshy?

crawling dirt

Insect pests, like roaches, flies, mosquitoes, silverfish, etc.

I don't like to use insecticides. How can I get rid of this crawling dirt around the bathtub?

man with the big red-white-and-blue Frisbee

Captain America.

When I was much younger, I loved to watch the man with the big red-white-and-blue Frisbee on TV.

hold on

When you're making a phone call in New York City, this phrase usually means that the person on the other line isn't putting you on hold to help you, but to either talk to another customer or to make a personal call.

Hold on...(you're waiting ten minutes on the phone)...
(10 minutes later)...Sorry to keep you waiting. Your Edvard Grieg orchestral works box set hasn't come in yet.
