irritable vowel syndrome

Refers to a semi-serious malady whereby an impatient/cantankerous person habitually "whimpers 'n' growls" using long drawn-out wordless/meaningless noises that, if written out phonetically, would consume a whole lotta letters other than consonants, such as "Aaaaaaaaaarrgghhhuuuuuuuuuhhhhh...!" or, "Eeeeeeeeeennnggguuuuuuuuuhhh...!"

I never take my spoiled-rotten teenage cousin along on family shopping-trips anymore... the lengthy wait-times between stores, our unwillingness to purchase the unnecessary/overly-expensive items he desires, our inability to go around to all the places he wants to visit, and the late hour that we usually get home all conspire to give him a major case of irritable vowel syndrome, and this constant fretting takes all the cheerfulness out of the trip for everyone else.

Smoking vowels

1. To describe someone who is doing tricks with the smoke from any nicotine device, usually a hookah
2. To describe someone who is getting really high from any nicotine device

Derived from a scene from the original Alice in Wonderland where the blue caterpillar is seen creating vowels from the smoke from his hookah

Dude that smoke ring was sick! You for real smoking vowels over there.

Three consonants and a dozen vowels

A humorous way of saying you are exhausted; the word you'd be referring to would be, "Sleeeeeepeeeeee......". If you're more or less tired than that, simply adjust the number of vowels accordingly, such as "three consonants and eight vowels" for being "normally" weary, or "three consonants and TWENTY vowels" for being limply-plastered-on-da-bed zonked.

Weary girl, texting a pleasant-natured willing-to-help-anyone-out dude who's frequently assisted her in the past: Any chance you could come over and help me move this big heavy couch so that I can vacuum the floor underneath it?
Dude: Ummmm... three consonants and a dozen vowels.
Girl: "Sleeeeeepeeeeee"???
Dude: Sumpin' like dat... had a long day. Mebbe first --- yawwwwwn --- first thing tomorrow morning? Gimme a wake-up call when you're up and about?
Girl: Sounds good. And of course I'll need a shower after I finish all da dusty sweeping and vacuuming, so I'll let you take it with me, as an extra incentive and thank-you gesture for your help.
Dude: Nice. Will you also let me crawl in bed wif you after we towel off, and we can enjoy a nice long warm skin-to-skin cuddle-nap together?
Girl: Of course --- what better way to reward ya back, eh??
