Causing a negative effect on one's financial solvency.

Kate Bradley should think twice anytime Uncle Joe suggests that she follow one of his crazy get-rich-quick schemes, since it is usually very debtrimental to the Shady Rest's bottom line.

detrimental-dumbdumb

A person you work with who’s capacity for wisdom is so lacking that he or she costs the business more than the product of her work.

To get things done efficiently, avoid detrimental-dumbdumb as they make a mess of efficient work flow by taking conversations off into tangents, making irresponsible claims that halt projects until extra work is performed to prove them false, or forcing bottleneck approval processes.

centimental value

A strong attachment to a family heirloom due to one's either being able to make a significant income from da ownership/use of said precious object, or knowing dat it will fetch a "pretty penny" if put up for sale.

If someone claims to have a special emotional attachment to an item at an estate sale --- especially if said object is of considerable value --- it's entirely possible dat he really means dat it is "of centimental value"; i.e., dat it would be worth a lot of money to the right buyer, and so he is merely wanting to selfishly turn a tidy profit by selling it.

Sentimental boner

A physiological glitch where your adult body has a romantic reaction to a childhood memory. It occurs when you see a vintage photo of a child actor you loved in the 3rd grade, and your brain accidentally reboots your original hormones from 2007. It’s essentially the "ghost of crushes past" haunting your pants.

"I was scrolling through a 'Throwback Thursday' thread and saw a picture of Miranda Cosgrove from the early iCarly days. I got a total sentimental boner. It felt like my adult self was high-fiving my 10-year-old self across the space-time continuum."
