Freehand

Freehand is the embarrassing situation where you hold your hand out to someone and they are completely unaware of it or will have nothing to do with it. It is worse when they start to walk away and you quickly lower your hand out of shame hoping no-one has noticed.

I heard that Jenny freehanded Greg. Left him there standing looking like an idiot.

jatter

Jatter is the word combination of jab and chatter. It is usually the insulting words you hear when separating two people from fighting and they continue to berate each other. It can also mean when one backs down from fighting and the other continues to incite them by yelling back insults in a clear attempt to goad them into fighting. The third is when one wants to fight the other and does so to entice them with rude insulting words.

"Okay okay, break it up ! We're not going to have a fight in my establishment."
"That's fine with me, I really don't want to fight him."
"Yeah, you would say that you yellow-belly punk-ass teat-sucking momma's boy !"
"Dude, just ignore his Jatter. Walk away. He's only trying to get at you."

"I don't know, Brad. look at the ad. It says, 'Our cars are hot. Get them while there still here.' That's speakish. Not a sign of quality advertising I believe and reflects badly on the company itself."

jackery

Essentially "jackass" but used in the context for the results left behind of the way someone acts.

This can involve vandalism, pranks, or just generally being an idiot or incompetent to the point of really messing up things around them. Can also mean when someone else gets falsely accused for their inability or ineptitude.

There are always consequences involved and some degree of punishment for these acts as there is always a clear trail of destruction left behind.

"Scott went on a drinking binge last night."

"I know ! You should've seen the jackery he made back at work the next day."
