I've been reading all the Constantine/Hellblazer books lately and I've picked up John's lingo without even realizing it. So:

 

Bollocks

Pear Shaped

Bell End

Wanker

Sky-Hawke: Rad/WP Brute

Alts galore. So...soooo many alts.

Whenever I drive by a street with this name, I'm compelled to say it out loud, for no reason I can explain, other than I like the way it sounds:  Shagbark.

Pulchritudinous

 

I love the contrast between how it sounds and what it means.

 

Idiopathic

 

How a doctor says, "F*ck if I know!"

 

Juxtaposition

 

Just because!

Hors d'oeuvres ( Horse Doovers )

 

I'm reminded of an exchange between two characters in the novel The Long Run, by Daniel Keys Moran:

 

"What are these... Whores-doovers?"

"Or-dervs. It's a Frog word that means munchies."

"Oh. They could have said."

A few of my favorites:

 

  Rat'$ A$$ - As in 'I don't give a...', which could be modified to 'I don't give a Flying Rat'$ a$$'

    which leads to a Fledermaus, then FlederMausMan - but I digress...

  Much Grass - Muchas Grasias

  Fair To Midland

  Schmegma (don't know if that was mentioned before...)

  Schmedlap (a reference to some generic person)

  Anywell - Cross between Anyway and Oh Well

 

There may be more later.
