Suture self

What a doctor shruggingly remarks when someone requests a different-from-the-standard-practice procedure for stitching up a wound, and said physician cannot see what difference said alternative method would make, but wants to accommodate the patient whenever possible.

"Suture self," said the surgeon, when I asked him to use cotton sewing-thread instead of synthetic-fiber floss.

memorabelial

haynous crime

Refers to either:
(1) a horrid misdeed involving mowed-'n'-dried livestock-feed, or
(2) a shockingly-inconsiderate/insensitive "cheating a horny stud outta his promised reward" infraction whereby a "cow" (i.e., a seemingly-willing gal) refuses to "give her milk" (i.e., spread her legs) for a dude after he's naively/trustingly "fed her a bale of premium timothy-and-alfalfa" --- i.e., performed a valuable action on her behalf, such as spending money on her, taking her out to dinner, completing one or more yucky/boring/difficult tasks for her, etc. --- in exchange for her promise of letting him "milk her" (i.e., partake in a bouncy-bouncy with her) when said favor has been completed.

Da term "haynous crime" could also humorously describe a combination of da above two examples --- i.e., how a delightful barn-loft tryst between a farmer's daughter and her penis-proffering lover would likely be viewed by her strict-and-feared "paw" if he ever found out about it, such as if said blinky-eyed chick "got a bun in da oven". (Never mind da fact dat SHE HERSELF was probably conceived in exactly da same way --- i.e., her "maw" and "paw" had probably shared a few "rolls in da cattle-grass" of their own a decade-and-a-half or more ago, causing an unexpected pregnancy dat resulted in said now-sexually-active daughter's existence. So said "Big Daddy" would therefore have "little room to talk" regarding history's merely having repeated itself in da procreation department!)

east-northwest by south

Good luck trying to follow THAT heading.

I had a hard time navigating by my boat's binnacle --- its needle-card just kept spinning around in circles, and thus showing all kinds of random "east-northwest by south" readings --- till I realized it was being affected by the magnetized eyelets in the cloth cap I was wearing! Duhhhhh..... :P

IsoTope

The "auxiliary" verger of Cloisterham Cathedral.

IsoTope may indeed have had just a minor role in the "Mystery Of Edwin Drood" tale, but I am still a bit surprised that neither Dickens nor Garfield made any mention of him in the famous mystery-thriller story.

klutztomer

A horrendously-clumsy aisle-browser who habitually wreaks havoc and chaos with a store's merchandise and/or display-shelves due to his brainless bumbling into everything in his path and his butter-fingered mishandling of the items he's looking at.

Archie Andrews seems to always make a mess at the local supermarket (especially if there are attention-distracting cutie-chicks among the other shoppers) no matter how careful he tries to be, so nowadays he usually just heads straight to the klutztomer-service desk and asks them to gather the items he needs.
