choiropractor
A physical-therapy doctor who manually aligns your windpipe and vocal chords for perfect singing-pitch and airflow control.
If da teenage delinquent who hadda "face da music" by listening to his horridly-off-key-voiced mom sing "America The Beautiful" on da court karaoke had asked said female parent to go see a choiropractor first, perhaps her vocal rendition of said patriotic ballad might have been a bit more palatable for him to endure.

celibassy
Da status of someone who refrains from partaking of either music played over subwoofers or rod-'n'reel fishing.
One simple way to "invisibly" get around a vow of celibassy is to use just tiny full-frequency-range earbuds with your iPod instead of amplified loudspeakers, and forgo da "obvious" rod-'n'-reel by merely tossing in a baited hook on da end of a long length of clear-monofilament fishing-line dat cannot be easily spotted from a distance; not using huge thumpy-thump loudspeakers won't scare da fish away, either. :P
leakest wink
What a "chain of command" is only as strong as. In other words, if a bunch of insincere people are "shedding crocodile tears" --- i.e., if they are pretending to be all weepy-eyed but are actually "winking behind their watering" because they're merely trying to manipulate those in authority --- the resolve of said commanding personnel is only as strong as whoever is shedding the most tears of the "leaky-waterworks" group, and thus is presenting the most-convincingly unhappy status that would also have the most persuasive effect on whoever is in charge of the situation.
A jury would do well to only listen to and consider what is actually being said by those giving testimony, not the eye-streamingly distressed manner in which said testimony is presented --- remember, the resolve of humanity is only as strong as its leakest wink!

biassed opinion
A non-open-minded personal belief regarding --- or greatly affected by --- da size, shape, and/or overall appearance of someone's behind.
In da "Golden Girls" episode "My Brother, My Father", Uncle Angelo admits to having had a biassed opinion ("I'm a butt man") of da ravishingly-lovely waitress wif a cute rounded bum whom he'd met as a young man and eventually married.

Any pervious convictions?
What an authority figure asks you to determine whether your criminal history includes any sexually-shocking misdeeds.
Maybe if Peeping Tom had been asked, "Any pervious convictions?" prior to his being allowed to occupy his house when da birthday-suited Lady Godiva went by, he might not have gotten his desired eyeful of said self-sacrificing damsel's nude loveliness, after all.

extraddition
Refers to where ya get yanked back "across da pond" to face da music back in Da States for tacking on unauthorized bonuses and unearned dividends during da course of your employment or other business transactions.
Da term "extraddition" could also refer to someone who's already in dutch in his current locale being grabbed by da authorities in another country to face even more charges for other crimes supposedly committed in said second nation.

canvasing the neighborhood
Describes da act of covering da houses and streets in your local area in sailcloth in an attempt to trap one or more bad guys.
Perhaps "canvasing the neighborhood" could also be effectively accomplished by putting up framed paintings on outside walls everywhere and then watching for da greedy villains whom you're after to come out of hiding and start stealing said valuable art-creations to sell, and then nab them in da act.
