"Skookum" is an expression unique to the Pacific Northwestern culture, based probably on Native American translation, for someone who has knowledge about a particular thing, idea, or concept. For example, "He's really skookum about wood carving."
"Frenemy" was added to the Webster Dictionary this year. It means someone who acts or pretends to be your friend, when in fact they don't like you and don't have your best interests at heart and they work against you.
