1. Hairspeed
A velocity index measuring how fast you have to go to in a convertible car before you hair streams behind you parallel to the ground.
Example: Straight hair might have a Hairspeed of 15 knots, whereas an Afro might have a Hairspeed of 90 knots to "slick back to parallel."
2. Intoculation
Medicinal spirits applied via an IV or other needle into vein method.
3. Furmentation
The process by which wine aftertaste transforms from a delicate flavor to that horrid cotton mouthed bloated fuzz feeling on your tongue. Measured in hours, and usually happening overnight, while asleep.
4. Farmentation
The process by which beer flavor changes from "beer" to "like horsepiss" after sitting out in an open container.
For example, Miller Lite's farmentation period is typically half an hour, whereas an ale like Boddington's takes four or five hours to Farment.
5. Al Goren
Famous Tennessean noted for his skill at Bridge.
6. Bill Clanton: A cowboy living in Tombstone Arizone who avoided the fight at the OK Corall while on a Rhodes Scholarship.
7. Weinery: Where hotdogs are fermented before being packaged and sold.
8. Whinery: Where bleeding heart liberals go to ferment their collected sour grapes en route to their being served to the public. Example: Berkley.
9. Hellary: Name for a man-hating she devil
10. Larker Lounge: A forum where Diablo II players enjoying pranks and practical jokes post.

This is an actual Southern Word.
Cornfusion. The state most folk get after a few pints of moonshine.
Not to be confused with Corn Fusion, which is how undigested corn kernals end up adding colour and texture to turds.
All alone, or in twos,
The ones who really love you
Walk up and down outside the wall.
Some hand in hand
And some gathered together in bands.
The bleeding hearts and artists
Make their stand.
And when they've given you their all
Some stagger and fall, after all it's not easy
Banging your heart against some mad buggers wall.
"Isn't this where...."

You would have "George W. Rush" A President aspiring to become a talk show host?
There is a guy named Rush Limbaugh who is a talk radio host, a bit of a blowhard, and a die hard Clinton hater and self proclaimed voice of the Conservative people. He is often merely refered to as "Rush" due to his fame or notoriety, choose your poison.
