"quadruple-p" drudgery
Refers to the boring/laborious --- not to mention demeaning --- every-few-months routine that a responsible and caring-about-his-public-image person needs to perform on his on-line profile-pages. Standing for Periodic Profile-Perusing/Purging, it involves occasionally going to your own profile and carefully scanning the comments/tags that others have posted there, and then deleting any posts that are either in poor taste or verbally attack your personal character.
I always try my best to treat others right, but unfortunately there are plenty of nosy/overzealous cyber-bully a**h**es out there who like to find fault and berate me for stuff that I either can't even help or certainly did not mean to be hurtful to anyone (and even if someone actually DOES think that he may have a legitimate gripe/concern, why not just SEND ME A PRIVATE MESSAGE ABOUT IT, rather than slamming me publicly?!??). So I gotta endure a round of "quadruple-p" drudgery a few times a year, just to make sure that any decent folks who read my profile don't get the wrong idea about me.

Murphy's Law Of Buying In Bulk
"You can keep purchasing small costlier-per-piece packages of a product till Doomsday, and you will always continue needing a sizable amount/quantity of it per week/month/year. But then just as soon as you plunk down a tidy sum for an economy-priced bulk-quantity of said commodity, your needs and/or lifestyle will immediately change, and so now you will likely never even begin to consume that much volume in your entire lifetime."
For example, you purchase several cases of plain white paraffin candles for your antique chandelier that you love to illuminate every evening, only to then discover that an electric-candle "upgrade" kit is available, and comes with fixtures that look just like the elegant candles and fit perfectly into your chandelier's holders! So now you're stuck with many hundreds of little white-wax tapers that you'll probably never have any use for.

I feel like such a total bulk-buying buffoon --- I had been consuming several expensive plywood-cutting circular-saw blades per year in my household woodworking-tasks, and so eventually I had purchased a bargain-priced fifty-pack of only-minutely-rusty "new old stock" Skilsaw-blades from a private seller on E-Bay. But then I had started using a larger-bladed table-saw for most of my panel-slicing/trimming needs, and so I've only used one or two of the circular-saw blades from the package in the many months since that time! Sounds like a classic case of "Murphy's Law Of Buying In Bulk" to me!!!

achy quaky legs
What Billy Ray Cyrus would have after a long period of gathering returnable beverage containers on a hot day. Good luck gettin' any sleep that night.
"...So do not tell my legs, my achy quaky legs, to take one more step till they get a rest --- whooooohhh!"

user-friendly
The verbally-portrayed status/nature of a smooth-talking snitch who pretends to be tolerant/supportive of anyone who "uses" (i.e., consumes illegal drugs), but actually rats you out to da fuzz/Feds behind yer back.
If a computer or other complicated device is marked as "user-friendly", dat's all well and good, I guess --- it's when a PERSON claims to be this way dat ya should get antsy and suspicious.

imparsonate
To either pretend to be a minister ("parson"), or to do such a lousy-ass job of it that people actually think you're not a real preacher.
That dude at the pulpit today was soooo far off on his quotings from Scripture --- almost seemed like one of those imparsonaters!

fist-width trash-disposal
A sneaky "evasive maneuver" technique for free disposal of your garbage in someone else's dumpster that has a locking-bar on it. Since the lids of the dumpster are usually just flexible plastic, however, you can successfully pry them upwards a few inches in the middle, so if you just use ordinary plastic shopping-sacks for bagging your disposables instead of the larger trash-bags, and only fill each bag with a fairly small amount of trash so that they are only as wide as your fist, you can still cram them into the dumpster.
Practicing fist-width trash-disposal can be a bit tedious/laborious, but it sure beats paying for your own dumpster, plus it eliminates your having to employ the delay/noise-producing strategy of actually removing the dumpster's rear hinge-pin --- and thus risking your getting busted --- just to drop in your bags.

Ask Aviv
A lesser-known-but-equally-notable large city in Israel where you go to pose questions about the assorted religions and cultures of the area.
After you voice your religion/society-related questions at Ask Aviv, your queries are routed to the appropriate authorities in Tell Aviv for pondering and consultation. You are then given a specially-numbered card (this distinguishes your particular questions from everyone else's) and directed to travel to Tell Aviv, where you present your card to the local holy men and receive your answers from them.
