back in the jeanstock

What you are if you forego climbing da "vine to Heaven", and instead return to speculating in Levi's, Lee, and/or Wrangler shares on Wall Street.

The famous fairy-tale got it all wrong --- Jack and his mother weren't merely poor to begin with, but they had previously squandered their savings on investments in big clothing-manufacturers. So after they'd spent all of the giant's gold, they had to go "back in the jeanstock" with the gold they could get from the enchanted goose's eggs, and the ticket-sales money they got from showing off the magic self-playing harp.

No more "Mr. Nice Guy"

Huh??? You were never being particularly nice to begin with. :P

Anytime am irritably-overbearing a**h**e snorts. "No more "Mr. Nice Guy", I get really nervous --- he was already being mean and hostile up to that point, and so if THAT was his idea of GOOD behavior, then Heaven help us when he "pulls out all the stops" and acts in ways that he himself views as NOT nice...!

FedExbox

A semi-educational/tutorial type DVD-ROM video game (like you use with an "X-Box" gaming system) which --- depending on which version is selected from the disc's menu --- allows the player to simulate either being a regular delivery-person who drives an ordinary FedEx van and drops off packages at homes and businesses, or piloting one of FedEx's commercial jetliners to make bulk deliveries of palletfuls of packages to central FedEx warehouses for sorting and re-routing in preparation for local deliveries.

FedEx supervisor: Wow --- your first day on the job and you're already a whiz at this! How'd you ever know so much about our delivery-system?
Teenage delivery-van driver, grinning appreciatively at the compliment: Oh, it was nothing, really... my parents bought me that cool hi-def 3-D-color-graphics "FedExbox" game for my birthday, and I loved playing it so much and eventually scored so high in all the levels that I decided to try out "the real thing".

ombudsman

A school official who distributes small bags of marijuana to the students in a "drug-free school zone" --- i.e., if you attend classes, you're given weed at no charge (see tobacco-free campus for further details).

Disgusted college-enrollee: I was really pleased when i saw this school's brochure that boasted about its entire grounds being a "drug--free school zone" and about there always being an "ombudsman" on duty, but then when I got here, I was chagrined to discover that there were in fact no "gratis buds" after all --- it merely meant that zero drugs of any kind were permitted for students, and that the management would swiftly investigate complaints of faculty's misconduct. What a disappointment!
