skirt migration

When one's skirt rotates while walking so that the zipper keeps ending up in the front, requiring you to subtly adjust said skirt without anyone noticing.
Suffering from a bad case of skirt migration, I tried to shimmy my skirt back into place amongst the crowds on the subway, hoping nobody would notice.

miserable

The word for the feeling that we sometimes call depression without the attached social malaise ( ie the need to take medication, go to shrink, talk too much, eat too much etc ).
I'm feeling miserable today, I'll feel better tomorrow.

Migratory peppers

The name given to hot peppers -- usually Habanero or Thai -- found in primarily ethnic food that don't agree with your digestive system and inspire an immediate trip to the bathroom to expel your meal soon after its completion.
I had the best Mexican food last night but those migratory peppers they put on my fajitas sent me to the can right afterwards and burned as much on the way out as on the in.

Minerals Management Service

(US GOVERNMENT) Agency of the US Department of the Interior. The name has since been changed to "Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, Regulation and Enforcement" (BOEMRE). The laws related to minerals management in the United States are possibly the most poorly thought-out in the developed world, and were largely designed as a strategy to launder money through crooked politicians. The MMS was created manage the oceanic coastal shelf (OCS) resources, and naturally it became one of the most notorious dens of corruption seen in the entire world.

The MMS is set up so that the temptation to be sleazy is almost impossible to resist; indeed, taking bribes is practically standard operating procedure in this agency. That's because the MMS was responsible for enforcing environmental and safety regulations on things like offshore drilling platforms, and yet made its income from revenues from the lessors it was regulating.

MMS officials would actually let oil company staff fill out inspection checklists in pencil, so that MMS inspectors would then fill them out as the operators wanted.
Given Minerals Management Service pencil whipping in the Gulf prospects*, it was a miracle that Transocean was ever cited for safety violations at all.

MMS is famous for parties in which executives of oil companies went drabbing with federal managers.
