asp-arin 

Medicine of dubious safety/value/effectiveness that's hawked by a "snake-oil" salesman.
I prefer natural remedies over that asp-arin crap --- who wants to ingest "extract of asp", anyway???

from "I do" to "Adieu" 

The typical course run by more than 50% of marriages.
Marriage counsellor: I always advise my "starry-eyed lovebirds" clients to "look at the whole picture" --- i.e., consider the entire scope and details of marriage --- before deciding whether they would truly be a good match for each other... I'd sure hate to see their fairly-tale romance merely proceed from "I do" to "Adieu" like so many of marriages do these days.

vacational rehabilitation 

A recovery program for assisting people in returning to work after a relaxing vacation, which has caused them to become so accustomed to an easy/pleasant lifestyle that they have literally forgotten how to perform labor.
Tronald Dump has never done a lick of real work in his life, so I seriously doubt that vacational rehabilitation would work very well for him in learning to be a proper president, since he has never known how to do anything honest/useful to begin with.

Curtisy desk 

The customer-service counter staffed by Santa’s head elf during the period while Jack Frost had taken over --- and shamelessly commercialized --- the North Pole due to the screwed-up "Santa clause".
Scott Calvin: I tried going to the Curtisy desk to get my Santa status back, but the head elf was totally under Jack Frost's "corporate life" influence, and so he didn't know how to help me; I had to resort to more outrageous measures to regain my rightful "throne".

Aragorn's Fellowship Of The Ring companion and a huge fan of Legobricks.
If Lego-las had brought large quantities of his favorite building-block toys with him on the journey to Mordor, perhaps he and the others in his party could have constructed whatever walls and other structures they would have needed to foil their enemies and deliver The Ring to Mount Doom a lot more easily/peaceably.

adj. Denotes a common misspelling ("typo") that frequently occurs when using a typewriter or word-processor keyboard.
I really appreciate my electric typewriter's spell-checker function, since I am really finger-clumsy and mildly dyslexic, and so I tend to make just about every typocal spelling-error known to Man!

taking the Ollie

Pleading the Fifth.
Ever since matters totally "went North" in the Iran-Contra fiasco, it seems like every bleepin' congressman and other government official has started simply "taking the Ollie" whenever things start heating up in ol' da ethics department!
