Neologism, word playing, idiosyncratic humour

I hope you're aware that "auger" is already a word.

It means a big tool with a helical blade (basically an overgrown drill bit) for making holes in soil, or wood, or ice, or whatever. Not to be confused with "augur" which means "to be a soothsayer who predicts the future".

I knew earlier that the word "auger" has a meaning. And this meaning was associated in my mind with someone who has inclinations to one-sided interactions with other. In Polish language there is a colloquial idiom "wiercić komuś dziurę w brzuchu" (literally something like "to drill a hole in someone's abdomen") which means "to bager", "to pester", "to bore", "obsessively" talk to someone... Auger is a tool used to drilling...

Supisutaku - a "japanisation" of Polish word świstak ("marmot").

Squeaver or squiver - blend of squirrel and beaver. The word can mean marmot, which is a ground squirrel which is massive and have relatively short tail and is often brown, which makes it looking somewhat like a beaver.

There is a recent vogue term used by folks in Colorado for their local species of squirrel:"squabbit" ( squirrel plus rabbit).

Squirrels here in the east are gray, and more gracile. The ones in the Colorado Rockies are black, and burly, and have lynx-like tufts on their ears that make their ears look tall. So to recent transplanted folks from the east Colorado squirrels look more like more black rabbits in the trees than like the squirrels theyre used to seeing.

Gonflapa - neologism which may "cause" associations with words "gone" and "flap".
