usage...say, for the sake of the story that you spilled a very small amount of water into your precious macbook pro, then you find it won't start, so you take it in for repairs (neglecting to mention said spill - because no one asked).  then the child happens to be with you when you go to pick up the other computer, which was also in for repairs (and did not have anything spilled on it) only to have her tell the guy behind the counter, "but you spilled water on it, mom," when he asks what was wrong with it.  making you wish you could perackwa her into the middle of next week. but instead, you bite your tongue and talk to her about how neglecting to mention everything isn't really lying.

lakit - A potential leakage of one of the most embarrassing substances.

Use: As Martha heard the water wash down the drain her own bladder became obsessed with one mother of lakits and all Martha could do was cross her legs and try to run for the bathroom. However, what Martha hadn't realized, until it was almost too late, was that a lakit and having to cross your legs makes a run into more of a seizure like waddle, and that can be equally embarrassing as an actual leakage.

Let's hope Martha learned her lesson.
