Underlay for the overplay

This is when someone spins you that you made plans with to go be with someone else. A great lie told to keep oneself out of the dog house or look good in front of a certain group of people. Giving an elaborate excuse that's usually not true for why you can't , didn't , or won't be able to do something.
Saturday I had two girls coming over at the same time so I had to think quick and told one that my cousin was in the hospital but that was just the "underlay for the overplay" so I didn't get busted.

Shuffling the underlay

Where's Betty? She's upstairs, must be shuffling the underlay again.

underpayed & overworked

Not getting enough money for the amount of work being done.
Getting underpayed & overworked @ any job really sucks.

it's not gay if you're underway 

Homosexual acts are acceptable - indeed, not gay at all - if performed on a naval vessel away from port.
"I licked the Able Seaman's balls while he came on my face, but it's not gay if you're underway, am I right?"
Meaning "less than something should be". It's the opposite of "overly".
It's one of those words that you know isn't necessarily proper English, but you still find slipping into your sentences every so often.
I am so underly protective, but I know my girl won't mess around

underlaid 

Having gone without sexual relations for an unreasonable amount of time; by extension, the feeling of being "horny".
"Dude, I am so underlaid, I can't even remember what a penis/vagina* looks like".

*pick one or both
