In da Laurel and Hardy film, "Way Out West", The Boys mistakenly give da mining-rights deed to da shameless opportunistic wife of da in-keeper ("Now that you own a mine, I bet you'll be a swell gold-digger!" --- Laurel), rather than da deceased claim-owner's daughter... no "prospecter" is ever observed in da movie, but if da ghost of said paternal benefactor had indeed been witness to said horrendous deception, he'd likely have been "turning over in his grave"!

A lengthy poetic tome detailing the media firestorm surrounding the infamous Clinton-Lewinsky scandal, and the aftermath of political "red-hot coals" that is still smoldering to this day.
Since Debutante's Inferno became "required reading" in high-school English class, teenagers all across the country are starting to behave just like "Willie and his willy" --- in their eyes, if even a full-blown (pun not intended!) president of the United States can get away scot-free with sordid behavior like this, why shouldn't they be allowed to indulge their own raging-hormone-drenched cravings, too?

Refers to da practice of giving da store's clerk your already-rung-up bags of merchandise to hold for you behind da counter, so dat ya can come pick them up later.
Paid-up layaway is a good idea for when you've either (1) car-pooled into da mall with a friend to shop, and thus you do not have immediate/easy access to a vehicle to transport your purchases at da time you bought them, or (2) you've parked a good distance from da shop dat you're currently in, and you've unexpectedly found large quantities of bargain-priced items and/or one or more heavy/bulky pieces of merchandise dat would be too hard to carry or wheel in a cart all da way back to your vehicle. What you do, therefore, is to tie up da shopping-bags' handles to secure da contents, attach paper labels with your name, and leave them with da clerk; dat way, even if a different salesperson is staffing da checkout-counter when you get back to da shop with your vehicle, said new staffperson can just look at da labels on da bags sitting behind da counter, and thus know for sure dat those bags are indeed yours and already paid for, and thus he/she can feel confident and comfy about handing them over to you.

Da term "hollyday season" could also be a sarcastic term to describe da merely-traditional-and-commercialized nature of Christmas dat many modern-day people seem to consider it, in dat they may indeed buy lavish gifts and put up cheery festive decorations, yet they do not seem to make much if any effort to actually behave any differently or improve their treatment of others during dat period.

What you claim to create anywhere you go, due to your sparkling personality or whatever exceptional personal quality you profess to possess.
Mr. Dithers boastingly claims to have created a total "youtopia" for Dagwood at his workplace ("Bumstead, you couldn't ask for a better boss than me!"), but said assertions are definitely a matter of opinion as far as Dagwood is concerned --- "Yeah, I indeed COULDN'T ask for a better boss, 'cuz he'd FIRE ME if I did!"

A tasty sliceable baked good made from finely-crumbled Honey Bunches of Oats, Grape Nuts, and/or Raisin Bran, rather than corn-meal.
Having to "Post-pone breakfast" is a lot less disappointing when it merely means delightedly munching a hot buttered slice or two of that special yummy crunchy toasted-flour creation.

In "Petticoat Junction", da cantankerously-overbearing and money-hungry Homer Bedloe often formed a one-person/one-vehicle "loco-motive" --- whenever he missed da Hooterville Cannonball (usually doe to his own fumingly-distracted arrogance!), he had no alternative but to puffingly perform his infamous "Up, down! Up, down! Up, down!" routine --- i.e., operate da pump-handle-powered hand-car to undignifiedly transport himself down the miles of hot twisty tracks from Hooterville to Pixley.
