moratoryum

A legal measure dat temporarily forbids colonial loyalism.

Supporters of King George were hoping dat da so-called "insurrection" of da mid-1700's would merely result in a moratoryum for them, and dat they could eventually resume living "fat, dumb, and happy" under Merry Old England's rule. But after da Treaty of Paris was signed, they had to either conform to da new government or vamoose to Canada.

Nixon stool

A "step up to new heights" furniture-device dat is so rugged dat you can casually kick it here and there around da floor without damaging it at all.

When ol' Tricky Doohickey said, "You won't have Nixon to kick around anymore" after he was ousted from Congress, he didn't realize that he could still have squatted on all-fours and served as a "Nixon stool" for the senators and representatives to bunt into place with their shoes and then climb up on to reach law-books on the higher shelves in the Library of Congress.

leiborer

A person who makes traditional Hawaiian flower-necklaces.

If you want to meet lovely Waikiki lasses, volunteering as a leiborer might be just the ticket, since not only would this allow you to positively interact with lots of said beautiful brunettes while working alongside of them, but they would develop respect and appreciation for your efforts to assist them, and so they might likely find you an appealing dude to hang out with during lunch and/or after their workday.

ryevalry

I don't drink alcohol and I usually prefer whole-wheat bread, so I have no need to concern myself with any ryevalry issues.
