The feeling of utter bowled-over amazement that Professor Brainard's observers felt during the Prof's assorted performances and demonstrations using flubber.
Sarah Reynolds: I used to be kinda skeptical of Philip's true inventing capabilities and the actual value of all his assorted wacky inventions, but after seeing what that amazing green goo could do, I am totally flubbergasted.
The blood-pumping organ of a greedy/selfish moocher/fortune-hunter who only yearns for gold; i.e., his main goal in life is to be given money to either hoard or spend frivolously.
In the 1937 comedy-film "Way Out West", Laurel and Hardy play a couple of witless buddies who unknowingly deliver a deed for a gold mine to the wrong woman; the recipient is actually the heiress's devious guardian with a "heart of gold"... Laurel naively "hits home" by telling her, "Now that you own a mine, I bet you'll be a swell gold-digger".

A weakening of the immune system that obliges the sufferer to visit the WC many times a day.
As often as Huckleberry Finn's father had to take a leak during his drinking-binges, one could not be sure if it was merely the alcohol, or if he was suffering from lookemia.
Merely typical everyday run-of-the-mill profanity that one frequently hears from the potty-mouthed putters on the green --- nothing out of the ordinary.
Swearing is strictly and expressly forbidden on a miniature-golf attraction where children may be present, but on an unsupervised golfing-fairway, foul language is just par for the curse.
A worldwide obliteration of conventional social-inhibitions, causing everyone to freely give each other big smooches whenever they meet
I am naturally rather shy and introverted, and so my inhibitions have little to do with my reserved manner --- I would not go around "gleefully glad-handing" everyone in any case. So if ever there actually was an apocalips, I would still not be willing or able to the the "rush on out and join the fun --- one big happy family" thing like more-jovial/confident folks could. I HAVE NO PENT-UP "COPIOUS AFFECTION-LAVISHING" URGES TO BEGIN WITH, and so having my inhibitions withdrawn wouldn't significantly "do anything for me" in that regard.
A stick-in-da-mud person who stubbornly/arrogantly believes in da strict, literal interpretation of scripture in a religion; actual life/historical facts and experiences be hanged!
Da problem with "Bible-belt" Fundamnentalists is dat --- figuratively speaking --- they don't have any extra holes in da cinch-up strap for their waistbands to allow for adjustments. But not everything in life is totally black or white, so problems and stubbornness issues are bound to arise from said lack of flexibility or open-mindedness.
A "strictly-by-da-book" bible-thumper who either uses salty language to accentuate his preaching, or claims dat you will suffer total "fire 'n' brimstone" at da hands of Da Great One if you don't follow His word to da letter.
If being or following a fundamnentalist means aggravating fellow humans about my supposed religious beliefs and/or breaking my staunchly-practiced "no potty-mouth" principle, I reckon "Ell Passo" on dat, thank you very much! :P
