The United Nations, IMHO today, at least under definition b) above is nothing more than a panem et circenses, a political circus that performs only for the media.

if you are called a chimney-sweep, especially definitions a) and c) above you are not only pro-miscegenation, and don't really care about interracial marriages and stuff, but you have no clue what the term ehre weiBen kultur means.

grabbing a chocolate bar
for a white man, at a bar, to walk up to a random black/biracial/Caribbean girl and ask her for sexual favors. For a black guy to do the same to a white girl should probably be called licking vanilla ice cream.
if you are not a Don Juan,do not go grabbing a chocolate bar unless you are ready to become the girl's sugar daddy.

drive yourself away
a nicer, more polite way of telling someone to gtfo and get lost-in combination and at the same time
Since gtfo by itself is too boorish and rude to use, and get lost doesn't cut it anymore because most people have cars, it would probably be more appropriate to use the term drive yourself away; people can drive away from a given situation faster than they can physically get lost.
