A "secret code" phrase to mean that --- while you are not of alternative orientation yourself --- you are at least "neutral and tolerant" in your views/feelings regarding other-than-straight individuals, and so anyone within earshot knows that he can feel comfy and secure around you, no matter what type of human he identifies himself as.
Jerry Dean Michael (a.k.a., "Elizabeth Carmichael", the infamous proponent of the equally-infamous "Dale" automobile) might have been able to label himself as a "friend of Dorothy" back in the beginning, but after he swindled so many people out of their life savings in their eager bids to acquire one of his non-existent fuel-miser automobiles, he could probably only have claimed to be an "acquaintance of Dorothy", since neither the Kansas girl or anyone else would likely have wanted to be HIS "friend" anymore!

Refers to da cheerful/casual whistling/humming/singing dat you're always super-glad/relieved to hear emanating from a mechanic, carpenter, or other repairman as he's working on your in-need-of-fixing item, since this unflustered tune-making indicates that whatever mending/alterations which are required to restore your device are merely "all in a day's work" or "old hat" with him; i.e., he's confidently proceeding with the task and is not concerned that there will be any snags. problems, or delays in said repairs.
Hearing the gloriously-welcome musical reassurance from a service-person produces a similar radiant hopefulness that you experience from being present during an "Ohhhhhhh...!" moment, since in both cases you feel pleasantly relieved that your device is indeed not irreparably damaged/worn/aged, and therefore it will probably be up-and-running again in a fairly short time.

Everyone's favorite gluttonous smirky-faced tabby-cat is usually da purrpetrator of da assorted mishaps dat Jon Arbuckle often finds himself tangled up in, but then said rotund ball of fur usually gets out of taking responsibility for said debacles by simply looking cute and being snuggly, since he knows dat Jon is such a wimpy pushover.

In Shakespeare's play "Henry The Fourth", Glendower boasts that he has the power to "call spirits from the vasty deep", to which Hotspur sarcastically retorts, "Why, so can I, or so can any man --- but will they come when you do call for them?" He should have added, "And if they do not, canst thou prosecute them for 'failure to appear'?"

A supervised "let's see if you can be a good boy now" release from da slammer after having served time for either a baking infraction or partaking of a straw-padded bouncy-bouncy wif a farmer's daughter up in da loft of da family's barn.
Against da terms of my early release, I baked some excessively-sugared croissants to bribe da horse-girl chick next-door to gigglingly accompany me up to da hay-loft in their barn and spread her legs for me ---- talk about a double paroll-violation!

What you'll likely suffer from if you "mow da lawn" too early in da Spring, before da weather moderates sufficiently for da lower half of your face to feel warm enough when "directly" exposed to outdoor-temperatures.
I made the mistake of shaving off my thick bushy winter-beard in early April, and now I gots Chilly-cheeks Syndrome!

My math teacher told me that "pie are squared", but I could only find round pie-pans in the school-cafeteria's kitchen, so I had to be a pieoneer and actually construct a four-cornered baking-pan out of sheet-metal.
