QuacksO's definitions
Da organized group of railroad engineers who collectively lobby for fair wages, job security, workplace safety, etc.
Just like da coalition of horse-drawn-wagon operators dat is now made up of truck-drivers, da Steamster's Union was originally composed of boiling-water-powered-locomotive engineers, but is now populated by operators of diesel-engine-equipped "iron horses".

Get the Steamster's Union mug.Da mean-spirited a**h**e CEO of a sizeable Maine corporation dat sponsors da infamous "Wreaths Across America", with "donations" dat are actually just old crappy-wilted unsold/excess wreaths --- leftovers from da winter-holiday season --- dat nobody would have bought anyway... from what I am told, he gets a hefty tax-writeoff and/or money-laundered profit for doing that. Disgraceful!
As badly as Immorril Worcester treats his workers, and as many legal debacles as he's been involved in, I am amazed he still is in business.

Get the Immorril Worcester mug.Or "phive-phrase philibuster". Refers to a knock-knock joke, since its utilization needlessly adds lots of extra words to said utterance, especially in "everyday" or "ordinary" instances where a simple question or statement would have sufficed.
Employing a five-frase filibuster may indeed consume extra time and lung-power, but it also can often greatly relieve tension and cause a possibly-less-than-welcome statement/question to be received considerably more calmly and/or amicably than it might have been if you'd simply blurted it out "directly".

It's too bad dat most of us modified apes didn't get here by Evelution --- if we had, then we would ALL be super-conscientious about "keeping our word".

Get the Evelution mug.What an accuser smugly utters after an audio recording or video-footage-clip conclusively proves that a protester-of-innocence did indeed commit the misdeed he was accused of.
Teenage delinquent: I swear, Officer --- I absolutely positively unquestionably DID NOT spray that graffiti on that shop window!! Why, I wasn't even THERE at that time --- I was down at the lake, just gazin' up at the stars and mindin' my own business!
Security guard: Really --- were you, now? Well, my young friend, let's just you and me take a little stroll over to the mall's CCTV-monitoring room, and pull the tape of last night's parking-lot activity.
Teenage delinquent, seeing the greenish-white IR-lighted security-camera footage of himself being very busy with his spray-cans on the store's front sidewalk: But --- but --- I --- this just can't --- I ---
Security guard (giving the flustered youth a self-satisfied smile and shaking his head with a "caught in the act after all, eh, son?" expression): Yeah, I know --- playback's a b***h, isn't it?!

Get the playback's a b***h mug."If you leave your vehicle's engine running during a delay in proceeding (traffic-jam, road construction, accident-resolution, "stuck" red signal-light, etc.), you will be sitting there for many minutes, just wasting gas. The instant you turn the key off and climb out of your seat to stretch, however, THAT'S when the line of traffic will begin moving again, and thus you will have shut off your engine "for nothing", AND you will now be holding up everyone behind you while you hastily hop back into the driver's seat and re-start the engine so that you can move forward again."
I finally took da plunge and bought a second-hand Toyota Prius because I'd eventually had one too many cases of Murphy's Law of Engine-Idling Duration... the Prius automatically shuts down its power during stand-stills, and then uses its electric motor to provide instant mobility as soon as you're ready to go again.
