Fixity?

I just assembled my new Torin (Big Red) engine hoist (made in China). It looks serviceable and was cheep. I was reading the warning label because heck, they put it on there and as a point of pride I ought to know how many rules I've broken. The second from the last rule says "Store near wall or fixity". I've finally found someone who knows less Eng-resh than me. I'm thinking maybe they meant Fixodent or Polygrip or something.
You guys have any wonder-words you'd like to share?

mid 17th century (denoting the property of a substance of not evaporating or losing weight when heated): partly from obsolete fix ‘fixed,’ partly from French fixité .
 
Ah come on did you make that up? Welllll it wouldn't be very practical to have it permanently fixitied (sp) to the wall. I guess its a good thing if it doesn't evaporate or loose weight...as long as it makes car parts loose weight and go up in the air that's fine with me.
 
Here's a word from Jeff Foxworthy": whichadidcha, as in "Ya didn't bring your truck whichadidcha?"
