the pickings are slim

there is no point in arguing with you because you adamantly reject common sense and scientific reality.
do not argue with stupid, retargerous, naive people, or someone who is not the brightest lightbulb in the chandelier; most often than not the pickings are slim and you end up wasting your time.

destitute seamstress 

a semi-offensive term for a female hilly-billy
even if Rosa Parks was indeed destitute and a seamstress by trade, she certainly wasn't a destitute seamstress, achieving, quite a lot in terms of human rights

lumberjack

a) a male equivalent of a mediocrity from the suburbs
b) a synonym for a male "average Joe" or "hilly-billy"
the term lumberjack can be used as a synonym in definition b) because like almost everyone else lumberjacks are hard-working everyday people, and the average North American citizen is indeed hard-working.
and btw, for a person of any gender, if your mother was a mediocrity from the suburbs and/or your father a lumberjack -definition a)- do not expect to look like either Brad Pitt or Angelina Jolie, even if your bedroom skill are better than your parents'.

we, humans, are creatures of habit 

a) the most pragmatic, rational response to the rhetorical questions "why do old habits die hard" and "why people resist change"

b) a nicer way of telling someone "no matter how hard you try to change someone, they will always retain part of their individuality."
a teenage boy comes crying to his father : " why won't my girlfriend Meedith follow me to Mechanical Engineering; all she wants to do is go study Psychology. Is there anything I can do?

father: no. the cherry-phrase we, humans, are creatures of habit applies to her too. not matter how much you have in common, she is still her own individual person. The only thing you can do, is not commit a St Valentines Day Massacre on her, that's about all i can tell you.

carnaldestism 

(acronym of the phrase "baptism of carnal desire" :

a) the night someone is 'baptized' in terms of their carnal desires, i.e. loses their virginity.
a caveat for my friends the ladies who have not had their carnaldestism: do not get drunk beforehand; getting drunk before your carnaldestism is retargerous.
