onslaught
Patty: Oh nothing, dear. I'm just trashing your father.
Lisa: Well, I wish that you wouldn't. Because, aside from the fact that he has the same frailties as all human beings, he's the only father I have. Therefore, he is my model of manhood, and my estimation of him will govern the prospects of my adult relationships. So I hope you bear in mind that any knock at him is a knock at me. And I am far too young to defend myself against such onslaughts.
hodgepodge
Lisa: Dad, I think this paper is a flimsy hodgepodge of high-brass factoids and Larry King.
Homer: Hey, this is the only paper in America that's not afraid to tell the truth. That everything is just fine.
pagan
Lisa: Like Halloween and Christmas, April Fools Day traces its origins to pagan ritual.
Homer: God bless those pagans.
pious
Lisa: What are they doing to the church?
Lindsey Naegle: We're rebranding it. The old church was skewing pious.
Lisa: I feel like I want to throw up.
Lindsey Naegle: Then my work is done.
rhetorical
Homer: Do I know what rhetorical means?
sarcastic
Homer: Ooh, look at me! I'm making people happy! I'm the magical man from Happyland, in a gumdrop house on Lollipop Lane! Oh, by the way: I was being sarcastic.
repercussion
Homer: You may think it's easier to de-ice your windshield with a flamethrower, but there are repercussions. Serious repercussions.
ample
Homer: I love going to aquatic parks. Sure, they have worse rides than amusement parks, less fish than aquariums, but the parking is ample!
innocuous
Homer: Marge, I thought this was an inocuous lunch, but it's become terribly ocuous!
surplus
Mr. Burns: Oh, “meltdown”. It’s one of those annoying buzzwords. We prefer to call it an “unrequested fission surplus”.
ironic
Homer, who has gained weight so he can work at home, has proved the hero by falling into a pipe that would have released toxic gas and plugging it up with his extra girth.
Lisa: I think it’s ironic that Dad saved the day while a thinner man would have fallen to his death.
Bart: And I think it’s ironic that for once Dad’s butt actually prevented the release of toxic ga—
Marge: Bart!
pejorative
Protestors: Two, four, six, eight, Homer Simpson’s crime was great!
Great meaning large or immense; we used it in the pejorative sense!
forge
Groundskeeper Willie: I warned ya! Didn’t I warn ya? That colored chalk was forged by Lucifer himself!
specter
Grandpa Simpson: Why are you people avoiding me? Does my withered face remind you of the grim specter of death?
