nincompoopery

That should be a word, meaning:
(1) the act of being a nincompoop,
(2) the product of such an act, or
(3) a place or institution where nincompoops are housed or cultivated.

Example: This post is pure nincompoopery.
Or: They shouldn't allow internet access at the nincompoopery.

Years ago we were driving in Chatt and saw a sign for a heating & air guy named Fugunt. My wife said, "Wha'd that say? Fugnut?" Ever since, I've been convinced fugnut should be a word. I've never come up with a suitable meaning for it but I love the way it sounds.

Keyarney

I kid you not I worked with this woman who grew up in Kentucky and she said the word Keyarney (sp?) was an actual word. I think it relates somehow to a bad odor. She told me it means something is keyarney or smells keyarney.

Anyone else ever heard of this?

I think kyarny is a southern colloquialism for something generally nasty or filthy, not sure which particular regional dialects it belongs to. Kyarn is a dialectical corruption of the word carrion, so kyarny as your friend uses it probably stems from something that smells like decomp.

Nice!

Now I have to ask are people supposed to pronounce your SN as "piss monkey"?
