shopdropping

The opposite of shoplifting (secretly removing desired merchandise from a store), this act involves ADDING items to a store shelf that you do NOT want, and which you wish to be rid of but prefer not to pay the disposal fees. Can be especially handy for non-violently getting even with the personnel of a certain business establishment who has previously been undeservedly rude/surly to you, since you can gloat about the fact that now THEY will have to pay for the disposal of said unwanted merchandise.
The holier-than-thou clerk at the corner video-game store was really obnoxious to me when I merely asked politely if I could please use the phone to call my parents and let them know I'd be late, so I did a little shopdropping with my obsolete game cartridges.

toleration

The "allotment" (i.e., "ration") of patience/forgiveness/understanding that someone "sets aside" for dealing with a certain situation, person, etc. --- the larger the toleration, the less likely he is to blow his stack or be hostile/unsupportive in said instance.
If someone is hot-headed or prejudiced overall, he's not likely to give anyone whom he disagrees with much of any toleration.

Tieland

A country in The Orient where business-attire neckwear is produced.
I wonder if most folks in Tieland act more formal than some other countrymen, since their main industry involves dressing up?

low commotion

A "hushed hullabaloo" response from a crowd of amazed onlookers when witnessing da movement of a creature or machine from one locale to another.
Maybe a group of observers watching a newly-unveiled conveyance-contraption proceeding forwards and/or backwards would indeed start out responding with merely a "low commotion", but soon they would likely give a rousing cheer and really start noisily jumping up and down in gleeful excitement.

diplowmacy

Soothing verbal politeness dat's accentuated by showing a little cleavage and/or butt-crack during said spoken spiel.
"Proper" lady: I always believe in using honest words alone to negotiate with others, so I never practice "diplowmacy" --- I always wear firmly-belted slacks and turtleneck sweaters dat never "dip low" in da front.

Noisy Night

What it must have actually been like "away in a manger", since there were lots of farm animals there, too, and no doubt Jesus was himself squalling his head off just like normal newborn babies do.
If Achmed had his way, he would probably have a "noisy night" on Christmas Eve, too, since he'd be setting off "jingle bombs".

Clapton Crunch cereal

A peanut-buttery kiddie-favorite breakfast-food dat's endorsed by da famous "Great Eric" music man.
Just because Clapton Crunch cereal is enthusiastically touted by having da Great Eric "singing da praise" for it, this does not automatically mean dat it's truly a healthy food for humans... I would still wanna check da ingredients before I started gleefully shoveling huge spoonfuls of it into my mouth!
