tart with the cart

Popular local name for the statue of Molly Malone selling shellfish out of a cart, mounted on the pavement between the main gates of Trinity College and Grafton Street, Dublin, Ireland.
Ya gadda love the tart with the cart. Nice jugs on her. The oysters would probably taste as good as they ever did.

Ultima Thule

1. A weird and wonderful land beyond the nethermost north wind that some nineteenth-century mystics once imagined to be inhabited by incredibly evolved blond blue-eyed people known as the Hyperboreans. Proof positive that some people had way too much to drink.

2. Somewhere you see when you are paralytic drunk.
Belief in Ultima Thule barely survived the arrival of nuclear submarines at the North Pole.

After ten pints of lager and a few shots of absinthe or whiskey, he's headed for Ultima Thule.

Zaphod Clause

Important precondition for attaining the role of chief of the executive wing of government, not least in the United States. More or less quote/unquote, "You can't become President with an entire brain." From the movie of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.
Al Gore and John Kerry almost made it, but they were both scuppered by the Zaphod Clause.

damn with faint praise

To imply condemnation of someone by praising them for utterly unimportant details. From Alexander Pope's Epistle to Doctor Arbuthnot (1733): "Damn with faint praise, assent with civil leer, and, without sneering, teach the rest to sneer."
Damn with faint praise:

One thing you can say for the force that invaded Iraq, at least they kept their uniforms clean.

Among statesmen of the twentieth century, Joseph Stalin truly and undeniably knew how to trim his moustache.

The Creationist propaganda movie was recorded on what were physically some of the finest rolls of film I've ever watched. As for the arguments and evidence recorded on them, well ...,

From Batman (1989):
On the other hand he had a tremendous singing voice.

Republican

1. In Ireland, someone who wants the Six Counties back. Typically votes for Sinn Fein, although in the 26-county republic the centre-right majority party Fianna Fail have tried to steal the mantle.

2. In general, someone who supports democracy and dislikes monarchies, even as figureheads.

3. In the United States, someone who screams about persecution of a minority when the minority is very rich and the "persecution" comes in the form of taxation. The symbol is an elephant, presumably because the trunk hoovers up all the money. Someone who is staunchly pro-life ... at least if the life in question can afford a good lawyer. Will fight the terrorists du jour with every nigger/spic/piece of poor white trash they can scoop off the streets, but not themselves and not with their Johnny. You don't have to be an imbecile to be a Republican, but it certainly helps. Living proof of the falsity of their own cherished belief in the pseudoscience of Creationism. You'd think that in three billion seconds, never mind three billion years, God would have gotten it right.
I'm a Republican! Long live the 32-county republic!

I'm a Republican! Down with the Queen!

I'm a Republican, thank God! Where's my next trillion bucks gonna come from?

hooker

1. A prostitute, specifically a term used in the United States to describe a woman who sells her sex on the streets or roads as opposed to a higher-class call girl, brothel worker or one man's mistress.

2. A traditional sailing vessel most often associated with Galway Bay, Ireland. Typically with a broad, stout timber hull and red or occasionally black sails. Used to transport turf (peat), hay, livestock and other goods along the coast and out to the Aran and other islands. Connection to the first definition of hooker is hazy at best.
You can pick up a hooker for fifty bucks on the way out of town.

The Galway Hookers used to run a race between Galway port and Kinvara.
