tow-in and tow-out
Not to be confused with the similar-sounding-and-also-automotive-related term used when discussing the particulars of a front-end alignment, this phrase refers to an “ultimate in sweetness” revenge-action that you perform on someone whom you’re fumin’-mad at. Plus it’s quite simple and fairly low-cost, as well; all you need is a wrecker-truck and an opportunity to access his unattended vehicle.
Tow-in and tow-out is comparatively easy and highly-effective means to bring no end of misery and humiliation to almost anyone who has wronged you… what you do is acquire a suitable-sized wrecker-truck and haul your victim’s vehicle (i.e., “tow it in”) to a location where parking is a big no-no, such as in a handicapped-designated space, on a bridge/causeway, in front of a fire-hydrant or public mailbox, in a “resident/customer-parking only” or “no parking; tow-away zone” area, etc. Then move a few blocks away and sit in your truck to wait till the call goes out over the airwaves for “any available tow-vehicle in the area” to haul off the illegally-parked vehicle, whereupon you promptly thumb your mike and offer to take the call. You then proceed back to your victim’s vehicle and whisk it off to the impound yard (“tow it out”). And then, of course, your unfortunate victim is obliged to endure the assorted hassles --- not to mention considerable expense --- of both locating his suddenly-vanished jalopy and coughing up the exorbitant sums necessary to regain the use of said vehicle! Schweet! Just be sure that you don’t get caught hauling the car to the illegal spot in the first place, and you should be all set.

pepperazzi
The multitudes of “red-hot” news-reporters who incessantly pelt (i.e., “pepper”) public figures with demanding questions.
Pepperazzi may appeal to some attention-starved individuals, but I’d rather not have da nosy cameramen buzzing around me 24/7, thank you very much.

J.D.H. Power & Associates
Refers to the heavy-handed authority and control that Boss Hogg strives to maintain over Hazzard County, assisted by his assorted henchmen such as Sheriff Roscoe and his deputies.
Hazzard County has some of the lowest crime-rates (aside from those confounded DUKE BOYS and that ORANGE CLUNKUH CAH of theirs!) in the state, according to J.D.H. Power & Associates.

David Hasselhoffa
A well-known actor from the '80's who was prominent at the time, but then mysteriously disappeared off the Hollywood scene, and we haven't heard a word from him since.
Perhaps the movie-fans "hassled the Hoffa" too much, and so that's why David Hasselhoffa vanished without a trace; maybe he just wanted to be let alone.

post-surgery curiosity
Refers to the common occurrence of a patient’s asking the doctor to show him the “nasty” (i.e., a lodged foreign object, gall/kidney stone, tumor, infection-colony x-ray, etc.) that was removed, and thus his intense suffering in finally alleviated. Deep-framing said undesirable for display on the person’s wall is optional.
Children are most often the patients exhibiting post-surgery curiosity, such as wanting to see a thorn/splinter (“No WONDER this was paining you so much --- just look how big and ugly it is!”) after it’s been extracted from their hurting appendage.

single-strobe light-flick
Refers to a "consideration for sleepers" action whereby --- in order to briefly look at something from the doorway of a pitch-dark room in which you know that one or more other humans are seeking a little shut-eye --- you first open up your own eyelids extra-wide to allow yourself maximum visibility, and then perform a super-quick "on-off" action (one-half-second at the absolute maximum) with the room's light-switch, so that you are able to check on whatever you needed to know (such as that there is nothing on the floor between you and the sleeper's bed, and thus you can safely tiptoe forward in the dark and crawl in with the slumberer without tripping), but minimize the disturbance of the sleepy person(s) by not having the ceiling-lamp lit long enough for him to even be much aware of it.
Considerate dude who's staying overnight at his girlfriend's apartment: I always use the "single-strobe light-flick" prior to re-joining Tiffany in her bed after I visit the Little Boys' Room during the night, just to make sure that neither of her cats has decided to stretch itself out on the floor of the bedroom. It avoids any unexpected "yowls in the dark", plus Tiffany tells me that she seldom even notices my brief room-illuminations, so that's a good thing.
