Schnickelfritz 

The word "schnickelfritz" is a term of endearment of uncertain Germanic origin. It means something akin to 'rascal', 'scamp', or 'little chatterbox'. The word is usually used with children, but can also be used between others who are close with each other.

Also, Schnickel Fritz is a folklore character. Fritz was a rascally little boy. He also is mentioned in the Schnitzelbank song. (Google the song...I'm not chronicling it here.)
Johnny just played a trick on me and made me look silly; what a schnickelfritz!

To a child: Hurry and put your shoes on, Schnickelfritz!

I was late picking her up, I called her by the wrong name and we ran out of gas on the way back to her house. The date just went all Lemony Snickets.

Schnickenrickenfracken 

A mumbled phrase that is quietly uttered by someone displaying semi-humourous mild displeasure or minor annoyance.

Probably inspired by animated dog anti-hero Muttley. His annoyance at never being awarded a medal in Catch The Pigeon was displayed by a similar sulky outburst.
Nap: "Morning gorgeous, do you fancy coffee in bed?

Jo: "Awww good shit babe - that'd be super-spunky! Waaah - I've got no milk though!

Nap: "No probs honey, I'll nip out and pick some up from the shop... schnickenrickenfracken..."
