genieologist

Someone who obsessively collects antique glass bottles in the hope that there may be a genie in one of them.

Trumpany

"The Donald' and his assorted henchmen who are bringing this country down --- i.e., "Trump & Co."

If Trumpany has its way, we won't even BE a country worth sneezin' at in a few years.

cree-dentials

Da qualifications of a Native-American.

Lewis and Clark didn't need to bother asking their Native guides for their cree-dentials, since anyone whom they hired was from their own area, and so they were all familiar with what the explorers would likely encounter in that particular region.

tearanny

Dictatorial control facilitated though copiously-leaky facial waterworks.

I try not to arbitrarily think of a person's crying as being manipulation, but there are indeed some individuals who use said streaming-eyed blubbering merely as tearanny to try to get what they want.

Aiden Attendance

Da name of a super-caring dude who is permitted to ride along for free (i.e., "companion fare") on a bus or plane because he provides cheerful assistance for a physically/mentally-challenged individual who is also taking said public-transportation service.

If two handicapped people travel together and they each provide necessary assistance to the other (i.e., perhaps one can hear better, and the other has clearer eyesight), could they BOTH ride for free by each of them's claiming to be nicknamed "Aiden Attendance"?

finomenon

An interesting/amazing fact or performance regarding our scaly gill-breathing underwater-inhabiting friends.

I've never heard of an instance of flying fish's forming large "flocks" in the air, but if they did, that would certainly be an amazing finomenon to watch.
