purrportion

Refers to da average fractional amount of a typical day when Fluffy expresses his contentedness with soothing "throat thunder".

love interest

Monthly payments you make to a current and/or ex romantic partner, either because you knocked up said partner, or to keep him/her quiet about shameful/potentially-damaging secrets from your torrid past with him/her.

One would be wise to either maintain a strictly platonic relationship with any "close" acquaintances, or at least always use protection during any and all bouncy-bouncies, to avoid excessive "financial drainage" from having to shell out for love interest.

Have a good nap, Mr. President?

A remark heard frequently in da White House during da Reagan years.

Ron Headrest couldn't really serve very effectively as commander-in-chief if about da only interaction wif other humans was to reply to da question, "Have a good nap, Mr. President?" As da "Satire From The Capitol Steps" song quipped, "But what good's a president... oh, what good's a president... yea, what good's a president --- if all he does is sleep? Duh-dum-duh-dom-duh-dum-duh-dom-duh-dum --- dum --- DUHMMM!"

Don Quick-Oats

The legendary pseudo-warrior of Quaker descent with an abnormal craving for pre-cooked dry cereal.

The history-books have it all wrong --- Don Quick-Oats wasn't mistaking everyday objects for monsters or other fierce enemies; he would charge windmills merely in the hope of scoring some of the tasty freshly-ground grain stored inside of them.
