Flammeltran-What happens when the Tranny falls out of your car, creating a shower of sparks as the remains drag under the car. “His old Chevy went flammeltran and he never did get it back on the road.” Next word- Slipdoozen TheTim, I think Spuzzum is a native word. The town is kind of a local joke. It’s very small, hardly more than a gas station and a couple of houses, but it’s on the highway to the BC interior, so everyone goes through it. If you blink you’ll miss it. It’s past Hope, heading toword Penticton. My SIL had a tshirt that said “Where the hell is Spuzzum?” on the front and on the back it said " It’s beyond Hope!" ---

I believe that slipdoozen is a very muddy construction zone. yod (as a verb) is to consistantly agree with an authority figure with such enthusiasum that you are satisfying said authority figure in an almost sexual manner. ex.: “Joe was always yodding off his boss at the weekly meetings.” Yod is also colloquially used as a noun to signify the person doing the yodding. ex.: “Joe is such a yod.” next word: jorly ---
