Praguenosis

Da likely outcome of a current event/situation in da Czech Republic's capital city.
Given how positively many folks view this city and its social environment, da Praguenosis for a peaceful/favorable resolution to most any major issue occurring there is probably quite good.

catastrofee

A huge government/corporation-imposed service-charge dat is so outrageously steep dat it alone causes whatever endeavor it was dat said expense was involved with to end in disaster.
In order to encourage youngsters to learn/practice sensible saving, some banks waive da standard service-costs and minimum-balance charges so dat said pint-sized piggybankers' frugality-efforts won't suffer from any catastrofees.

museician

An orchestra-member or symphony-writer who puts much reflective thought into his performances or compositions.
Da horrendously-awful so-called "music" dat's shamelessly cranked out today cannot have required any degree of creative talent or careful thought, so it sure enough wasn't written by any true museicians!

surveylance

Clandestine observation of one or more people of interest, performed under da guise of merely asking for people's opinions or mapping out real-estate parcels.
If da Feds are carrying out surveylance in a particular area, they would do well not to wear their official uniforms underneath their "ordinary workman" outfits, since (1) said double-layered clothing could get hot and/or bunchy, and (2) keen-eyed crooks might notice da disguised agents' suspicious-looking garb and become wise to said government-men's true identities.

"castle in the air" vacation cottage

Or "castle in the air" hunting camp --- same diff. Refers to a much-hyped "back to nature" dwelling that turns out to be just a crude cramped tumble-down shack with no modern facilities.
Disgusted office-worker who was greatly in need of a little good ol'-fashioned R&R: That no-good shyster of a realtor gave me a glowing song-and-dance description of this backwoods cabin on the lake --- described it as a "castle in the air" vacation cottage, and claimed it had "electric lights, running water, and stained-glass windows". Turned out to merely be a shabby musty hovel hardly bigger than an outhouse, with absolutely no amenities whatsoever --- the "electric lights" turned out to be just a couple of small LED battery-lamps hanging from the ceiling (which I ended up having to buy fresh batteries for, by the way!), and the "running water" translated into merely a plastic bucket that you would pick up and "run" down to the lake, fill the pail with water (what am I --- Jack and Jill?!), and then "run" back up to the cabin again! And come to find out that the "stained glass" in the windows was nothing more than just the disgusting filmy MOLD-STAINS on the panes from the damp closed-up-for-months interior of the cabin! What a rip-off!

Jeevesdropping

Refers to where Bertie Wooster's "suave 'n' savvy" butler secretly listens in on others' conversations in order to keep his dim-witted employer out of trouble.
P.G. Wodehouse's famous fictional manservant did a bit of Jeevesdropping on more than one occasion in order to save his naive young London aristocrat's hide.
