Describes da disgracefully-selfish/unfeeling quality of da act of consuming all of da choice/juicy/tender parts of a desirable plant, and then leaving just da tough/stringy/woody center portion for one of more other folks whom you'd been supposed/expected to equally share said delicacy with.
Greedily guzzling all of da sweet-'n'-succulent outside part of an apple and then giving your companion da seed-filled core is nothing short of pithetic!

A far-below-average dude who is usually passed over in favor of more "succulent 'n' satisfying" male-meat by all but the most ugly/desperate/undesirable hussies who would otherwise have little chance of getting laid.
Economy-grade studs may not necessarily be dislikable guys per se, but they tend to be sorely lacking in the "hot 'n' heavy" department --- they may have low stamina in bed and/or perspire excessively during intercourse, only cum a weak dribble and/or have to wait several days to "recharge", have a small/narrow wee-wee, be very overweight and/or older than dirt, have an apathetic/lackluster personality, etc. Extra points if they are financially-solvent, though --- at least they won't mooch off the lady they're with at the moment, plus they may even be willing to assist HER with the cost of a few groceries and/or housewares.

Refers to the playful "pretend assistive" action of raising someone's ankles up off the bed/couch in an apparent effort to aid him in standing back up ("Okay, your feet are up so far; you can lift more of yourself up now!"), but in reality you are effectively **preventing** him from standing up, since he would need to have his legs **lower** than his head and torso in order to be able to sit up and get to his feet. :P
Employing da "helpful" legs-lift is a good way of sarcastically conveying to a huge-a** lazy-bones who has groaningly asked for your assistance in rising dat he is obviously much too big/bulky/heavy for a much-smaller/lighter/weaker person like you to actually lift to his feet, and dat he will therefore need to just clamber back up under his OWN steam.

Refers to either of two equally-unhealthy practices that seemingly "skips a place" in the chain of progression, but has a comparably-negative result --- Person A acts as a financial "crutch" for Person B, allowing Person B to continue his dissipative lifestyle:
(1) Where you do not beg resources directly (i.e., "first generation" enabling) from a financially-solvent person who is sick of your mooching, but you instead ask your "benefactor" to extend charity to your equally "spongy" offspring (i.e., you shamelessly take advantage of the person's "family man" nature by using the pathetically-manipulative "cute cherub-faced kiddos" or "they'll only be young once, so I wanna give them a decent childhood" pressure-excuse), or
(2) You don't request a certain amount of money --- say, twenty bucks --- from the disgruntled "provider" for "excessive/addictive/self-abusive" products (i.e., tobacco, alcohol, lottery tickets, unnecessary "pretty things", etc.) that he refuses to provide you with, but you instead ask him for that same twenty bucks to purchase "basic necessities" like simple groceries or household/repair products that he HAS agreed to help you out with obtaining... the catch, of course, is that you spend your OWN twenty bucks on those other unhealthy/senseless purchases instead of spending it on the healthful basics that your friend is giving you money for, and so in the end you are still getting him to make it possible for you to continue your unwise/unhealthy lifestyle.

Be wary of anyone who agreeably says, "Okay, fine --- I won't ask you for any more money for unhealthy stuff; I'll use my own funds for them. But please do give me some money for those "basic necessities" that you said you WOULD buy for me." Well, don't you see --- that's really the same destructive deal when all's said and done --- oh, sure, the person may indeed not be "directly" asking you to buy him cigarettes, but the person is merely using the last of his **own** money for them, and then asking you for money to buy the groceries that he himself could have purchased if he hadn't spent his last dollar on coffin-nails! It doesn't really matter where your added funds are "injected:" into the person's budget --- it's still just second-generation enabling!

Someone who "pre-approaches" a person of newsworthiness in an attempt to create positive feelings between said interesting individual and whoever is wanting to do da interviewing. Da theory is dat this preliminary action will help to "ease" da person into being in front of a camera, rather than his just having da interviewer unexpectedly show up and shockingly shove said lensed recording device squarely in his face.
Maybe there would be fewer scoop-gathering failures 'n' fiascos if more rapporters were used initially to gently introduce da skittish would-be interviewees to da concept of being on da evening news.

An individual or organization dat contributes funds for research/activities regarding egg-laying creatures.
Bears would not likely be very reliable/legitimate spawnsors regarding research of da salmon-run, since they would likely just EAT said tasty vulnerables rather than actually being interested in da study of them. :P
