QuacksO's definitions
I am both unassuming and appreciative of lower-cost options, and so I prefer just ordinary plain-steel hex-head fasteners for attaching my car's rims, rather than gaudy chrome or decorative shapes --- no need to spring for dat kind of absurd lugxury!

Get the lugxurymug. How someone of "conservative mind and superior morals" disapprovingly describes an excessively-butt-baring outfit that a young lady wants to wear to a social gathering of some kind, such as a dance, party, or school prom.
A lot of times when a middle-aged-or-older matron or neighborhood gramma cluckingly criticizes a teenage girl's somewhat-revealing gown as "just assking for trouble", one should seriously wonder if her real reason for objecting is that she is simply jealous that **she herself** no longer possesses a cute firm behind --- or maybe NEVER DID to begin with --- and therefore she is no longer "getting any" from the available hot hunks around town, and so she cannot stand to see a shapely younger filly gaily showing off her "merchandise" for all da raging-hormone-steeped youngblood-studs at da gathering to lust over.

Get the just assking for troublemug. A "deep jungle" dude who doesn't know any better than to take off all his clothes after having a few drinks in da pub.
If you invite a clueless back-woods native to accompany you back to civilization and hang out wif you around town, it might be wise to only take him to a tavern that's part of a nudist's camp, if you don't want your new buddy to get in trouble for "going all barbareian" on you.

Get the barbareianmug. Refers to da "shout-out" phone call dat you make to one or more local homes/businesses during a power-outage, to ask if they are without electricity, also ("Are you folks in da Dark Ages, as well?"); this allows you to reliably determine if it is indeed a widespread outage, rather than it's being "just you" (i.e., where you would need to check your home's wiring/fuse-box for unseen faulty connections).
During an unexpected power-outage, most folks will likely be at least marginally patient/understanding if you want to check wif dem about whether their electricity is off, as well, but you should still consider carefully before making said call --- usually you will want to do so only if da current weather is fairly "calm 'n' balmy" and therefore a utilities-outage would not be expected. It is generally understood dat service-wires might be downed if there is heavy snow/wind, and so in these cases your "dark ages"-inquiry phone call might be viewed as somewhat of an unnecessary/frivolous interruption, especially since those other folks will themselves probably be experiencing moderate difficulties/concerns regarding said hiccup in da flow of "angry pixies", and so at da time they may be feverishly scrambling to "batten down da hatches" while waiting for da power to come back on again. Good luck trying to call anyone, though, since nowadays da phone and electricity are no longer such "entirely separate circuits" as they used to be, and so unless it's an extremely small and "localized" outage, your home-phone service will likely be out, also, if da electricity is off. Dat's an instance where mobile phones can be an alternative means of communication, since most cellular-towers have their own "dedicated" power-source dat will remain active even if da "regular" electricity is off.

Get the "dark ages"-inquiry phone callmug. An early-'40's-era Deutschland-based facility staffed by highly-skilled SS agents who could magically and instantly get a car to run and perform perfectly with just a simple touch. Just ask Baron von Trapp, who personally witnessed the group's miraculous mechanical-capabilities after he and his family unexpectedly encountered said group while they were pushing their automobile out of their driveway, and --- at his supervisor's command to "repair Herr von Trapp's car, so that it will start"--- one of the agents easily fired up the car's motor on the first try.
The Gestapo Garage may indeed have been exceptionally adept at making seemingly-disabled vehicles start up and operate perfectly, but the problem was that they tended to show up without your ever having sent for them, and performing "repairs" that you'd just as soon not have had done at that particular time.

Get the Gestapo Garagemug. 8-track tapes were invented by da great car-radio designer, so perhaps in homage to his genius, we could use da term "Learics" to refer to all of da words on any of said endless-loop cartridges dat contain singing.

Get the Learicsmug. The real reason that he defected to the British side --- tubby prune-faced ol' "Key-and-lightning" Franklin had been overly friendly with him (and of course we know for sure that he didn't used petroleum jelly, either, since said lubricant wasn't even discovered until 1859!), and back then sexual-harassment lawsuits were virtually unheard of.
We all know that Mr. Franklin was a strong supporter of gay-friendly society, but after the Bennydicked Arnold affair, one has to seriously wonder if the enigmatic "Fart Proudly" essay-writer's orientation was itself at least partially "on the fence".
