ransomwear
Clothing dat an extortionist either:
(A) confiscates from you so dat you would hafta embarrass yourself by walking around naked if you didn't pay up, or

One way to possibly avoid falling victim to a ransomwear situation would be to learn how to sew and weave; this way, any available sheet-material that's fairly flexible (such as bedding, trash bags, paper, etc.), or strips of said material or even grass could be used to construct temporary clothing till the extortionist gives up on waiting for you to pay up, after which you can then obtain replacement duds.

bottomless pitt
Refers to da unlimited spending-possibilities dat exist for procuring "Handsome Brad" merchandise, such as movies-on-disc, t-shirts and other clothing, publications, portrait-branded foods and other consumer-products, etc.
Several excited movie-star fans have tried to convince me to invest in celebrity-themed collectables, but I've always told them that it's just a bottomless pitt.

redemption center
A place you go to for religion-based treatment and counseling to cure you of drinking beverages dat come in glass, aluminum, and plastic containers; this is both to get you to live more healthfully, and to reduce littering and other harmful effects on da environment dat guzzling canned/bottled alcohol or soft drinks causes.
Two weird and/or seemingly-hypocritical details of a redemption center:
(1) They often will let you pay your dues using bags of returnable containers dat you've collected, which of course are da very same resource-wasting vessels dat they are trying to cure you of purchasing your liquid libation in.
(2) They don't mention ceramic or wooden containers dat moonshine comes in, so this omission could sabotage your efforts to "keep da plug in da jug".
