Maybe if Obama bin Laden had availed himself of all da readily-available consultans in da Middle East, he might have been a better president in this country!

Get the consultanmug. Sarcastic term for the conditions --- no matter how lovely and fine --- as viewed by a spoiled bratty tearfully-howling toddler.
I bet that Ethan Couch wasn't satisfied by anything as a small child --- no matter how much his wealthy parents tried to please him, everything was viewed by him as squallid.

Get the squallidmug. An unfair-to-the-customer motivation that money-hungry banks have to maintain someone's having to make payments on a loan for as long as possible.
I borrowed a thousand dollars from a local credit-union so that I could pay some local tradespeople to perform much-needed repairs on my home and vehicle. But then as it turned out, these "over-booked with repair-jobs" folks were not able to get to my repairs as soon as they'd expected, and so I didn't need the loaned money nearly so soon as I'd thought I would; I realized that I'd likely be able to pay the carpenters and mechanics "on my own" just with extra-frugality-saved funds over the next few months. So I merely returned the thousand dollars to the credit union within just two or three months after I'd taken out the loan; the clerk seemed none to pleased, since they'd only made about 22 bucks extra in the deal, instead of maybe close to a hundred if I'd taken a year to pay it all back, the way they had expected me to. Guess there was a little conflict of interest there.

Get the conflict of interestmug. A "hushed hullabaloo" response from a crowd of amazed onlookers when witnessing da movement of a creature or machine from one locale to another.
Maybe a group of observers watching a newly-unveiled conveyance-contraption proceeding forwards and/or backwards would indeed start out responding with merely a "low commotion", but soon they would likely give a rousing cheer and really start noisily jumping up and down in gleeful excitement.

Get the low commotionmug. The "allotment" (i.e., "ration") of patience/forgiveness/understanding that someone "sets aside" for dealing with a certain situation, person, etc. --- the larger the toleration, the less likely he is to blow his stack or be hostile/unsupportive in said instance.
If someone is hot-headed or prejudiced overall, he's not likely to give anyone whom he disagrees with much of any toleration.

Get the tolerationmug. The opposite of shoplifting (secretly removing desired merchandise from a store), this act involves ADDING items to a store shelf that you do NOT want, and which you wish to be rid of but prefer not to pay the disposal fees. Can be especially handy for non-violently getting even with the personnel of a certain business establishment who has previously been undeservedly rude/surly to you, since you can gloat about the fact that now THEY will have to pay for the disposal of said unwanted merchandise.
The holier-than-thou clerk at the corner video-game store was really obnoxious to me when I merely asked politely if I could please use the phone to call my parents and let them know I'd be late, so I did a little shopdropping with my obsolete game cartridges.
