A.k.a. "garnished generosity". Refers to da "snooty-friends/cousins/siblings procedure" of retaining/withdrawing/consuming all of da "goodies" from a particular lot of items, and then pretending to be lovingly/caringly thoughtful of you by giving you da remaining items, which are inferior or less-desirable in some way.
A classic example of selective sharing would be during snack-time, whereby da gluttonous and sweet-toothed connivers --- instead of carefully/conscientiously dividing up da tasty and not-so-tasty comestibles evenly among everyone present --- first select all of da best and most-palatable selections from da goodies-platter for themselves to guzzle up, and then leave you wif just da blander and/or less-chewable/digestible selections, such as da veggies, chocolates wif coconut centers, overly-firm/spicy chips, etc.

What da horned leader of da "fire -'n' brimstone" afterlife-world --- i.e., "da other place" --- repeatedly asked Don Juan as dozens of said dame-dallier's former-fling-females were paraded past him to see if he could recall their names.
Maybe if Don Juan had actually gone through with one of his many engagements --- i.e., allowed da "wedding bells" to ring --- he would not have had to eventually endure being queried, "Ring any belles?"

Describes da practice of donating large amounts of one's time/effort to assist others in writing responses on applications, contracts, tests, etc.
Since da infamous Paperwork Reduction Act has ultimately done little to actually curb da tidal wave of required forms and documents, there is still a great need for fillinthropic work by people wif da knowledge, patience, and endurance to either scribble da questionnaire-answers onto da "bothersome blanks" themselves, or verbally guide da frustrated/exhausted/clueless info-jotters on what would be best to put down on said assistance-request pages and agreement-sheets.

A two-faced Bible-thumping liar and fraud who liked to squealingly merge into traffic and remove layers of financial resources from his followers.
Norman Vincent Peel always said that "positive thinking can make someone rich" --- what he was really meaning was that YOUR positive thinking could make HIM rich! :P

After Grampa's old Strudelbaker got too worn to be worth fixing up anymore, Gramma used the engine for slow-cooking her breads and pies, similar to how Mike Mulligan used his now-obsolete steam-shovel's furnace to heat the new Town Hall in Popperville.

A.k.a. "sideways-hug" or "right-angle cuddle". It involves first standing next to the person whom you wish to canoodle with and using just one arm and hand to gently draw him over to you so that his chest is nestled against your side, afterwhich you affectionately tilt your head over against his and soothingly knead his back and shoulder-blades with your hand.
The sideways-snuggle can also loosely refer to a pleasurable position that you assume while canoodling with someone in bed; it's basically "half-spooning" the person, whereby you are turned on your side and nestling up against your lover, but he is either face-down or lying on his back, and so you are snuggling up to his side and have one arm (and often one leg, as well) affectionately draped over him. This "partial embrace" position is often employed during semi-hot weather, where the person still wants to cuddle wif you but would be too warm if he was totally spooning with you or fully nestling against you chest-to-chest.

In other words, if you hang out too long on da local pub-stools tossing down tall frothies, you will likely end up "cooling off" in jail after participating in one or more drunken brawls, staggering about in public, committing an OUI offense, etc.
Ethan Couch's infamous drunk-driving event didn't even happen as a result of his being in a tavern --- i.e., he boozed it up while partying at a friend's house --- but he still wound up in a similar "behind bars = behind bars" situation.
