periodic pump-handle pacification 

Refers to da playful vigorous arms-bobbing dat you smilingly give a small child (usually a boy, but a fairly-sturdy girl may enjoy this, as well) every so often during a visit to his folks' residence, whenever he comes around wanting a little attention. Usually a few seconds of grabbing his hands and shaking his arms up and down while making "URuh-URuh-URuh-URuh-URuh-URuh-URuh-URuh!" sounds will happily satisfy him for at least a short time; usually he will patter off and play again, and then you can continue conversion with his parents for a while until he scampers back to you for another "helping".
I always love giving little kids generous doses of periodic pump-handle pacification as a way to keep them satisfied and entertained while I'm engaged in other activities... it's totally fulfilling and attention-giving for them, it's a great way of bonding with them, and it's 100% calorie-free --- i.e, I never get in trouble with their parents for giving them candy or for "feeding them rich snacks before supper" which would make them less hungry for whatever blander-tasking health-food that their parents want them to chow down on instead.

Palification

Word of the Day on October 4, 2026
British slang for a scientist or technical expert, esp . when the speaker is not certain of the expert’s specific field of study. Not necessarily derogatory, but typically used by persons without a technical background. In the US, the equivalent would be “egghead”, “squint”, or “geek.”

Origin of the word is unknown. Started sometime in World War 2. Given the typical evolution of British slang, could easily have started because what these experts did was confusing or “baffling” to the common person.
According to the boffins downstairs, the murderer used a serrated blade.
