Hesspionage
Hitler's right-hand man certainly wasn't the first --- or last --- top-government-position official to practice prolific stealing and selling of super-sensitive secrets --- lots of modern-day Hesspionage going on all over the world.

b-espionage
Committing "regular" espionage has serious-enough risks just by itself, since your own country will likely take severe measures against you if they find out that you've been stealing their sensitive information. But dabbling in b-espionage can be even more "hazardous to your health", since your country's enemies may be even more infuriated when they find out that your information was bogus, and so they may hunt you down for retribution even more doggedly/savagely than your own government might have.

companionship-currency
Refers to one or more periods of "quality time" that you spend with someone as "substitute payment" when you are unable to reimburse him monetarily for loans/services that he gives you.
One should always try to pay back his debts as promised, of course, but id this is not possible, companionship-currency can indeed be a wonderful "alternative reimbursement". Just be careful that you don't "abuse the privilege" --- i.e., "continuously" presume that merely spending time with someone is always adequate recompense for any favor that you ask of the person.

"firehose" remark-reaction
Refers to the involuntary "geyser" of liquid/slurry that one produces when something funny/shocking is spoken in his presence while he's eating/drinking something, said utterance causes an "automatic" or "uncontrollable-on-short-notice" lung- expulsion from a laugh or cough, which in turn causes a forceful ejection of the mouth's contents which shoots out for several feet and disgustingly messes up anything (or anyONE) in its path.
A classic example of a "firehose" remark-reaction is when Jimmy Culp does an astonished "sploooot!" when he hears his name mentioned by Robert Stack on the Tonight Show immediately after taking a deep swig of beer.

grandmother approach
Where you bring an older lady along with you on a potentially-problematic endeavor, so that any observers will feel less concerned/suspicious.distrustful of you and what you are wanting to accomplish. P.S.: This strategy **always** works --- no exceptions.
I first discovered the grandmother approach --- and how wonderfully effective it is for "opening doors" --- merely by accident at age 15, when Mother and I went to meet one of my favorite radio-announcers "after hours" ; the announcer had kindly agreed to come down the elevator and meet me outside during her break, and so my mother and I had gone to wait outside the front doors of the building. A burly security-guard or maintenance-man subsequently happened by and pleasantly asked if he could help us; we explained that we were waiting for my announcer-friend to come and say hello to us. Without hesitation, he said, "Well, there's no need for you to have to wait outdoors here; I can let you in and you can go up to the studio to wait." I am sure, however, that if I had just been there by myself, the employee would not have felt nearly so confident or trusting of me that he would have actually just allowed me to effortlessly "waltz right in" like that; I realized that it was my super-respectable-looking mother's presence that had caused the man to "automatically" figure that "we were okay". I have employed this "bringing an older lady along" strategy several times in subsequent years whenever I have been concerned about possible negativity/suspicion from others regading something I'd wanted to do, and it has ALWAYS succeeded --- people everywhere feel an automatic compulsion to respect an older lady, plus of course they would not want to behave disagreeably in front of her.

kongregation
Maybe if the dinosaurs and other prehistoric creatures on Skull Island had held a weekly kongregation, our giant hairy friend wouldn't have been so lonesome for human companionship, and so Ann Darrow and her entourage could have filmed their movie-footage in peace.

direhea
My insides tend to "react" very strongly to new foods or unusual combinations of ingredients, and so I try to only partake of these "potentially-problematic" comestibles when I'm just by myself at home instead of in a public setting or "out in the sticks", so that I can quickly/unobtrusively run to the bathroom --- and have easy access to appropriate "clean-up" facilities/resources --- in case of any bouts of direhea.
