What Shylock was accused of.
Da infamous Venetian loan-shark may indeed have had identical bodily-organs of his different-religioned accusers, but judging by his blatant Jewsury, one attribute of theirs dat he apparently did NOT possess was compassion and forgiveness.

Black sooty anthracite-chunks dat you let someone retain as a "promissory note" in case you are unable to pay back a loan dat he gave you; da understanding is dat he can burn said heating-fuel in his own furnace if you default on said loan.
In da infamous tale of da pet monkey whose snarky-faced shenanigans caused irate rail-workers in passing trains to throw lumps of coal at him (and thus unwittingly provide da monkey's owner with free heating-fuel), da railroad-company was understandably upset dat dey were loosing considerable amounts of their good locomotive-fuel from this "coallateral damage".

Refers to the USDA's pathetic practice of reducing your Food Stamps allotment whenever Social Security increases your SSI check due to a cost-of-living increase, largely negating any benefit that your additional food-allotment amount would have gained you.
Zheeesh, if Big Brother actually feels that you need more money to cover basic expenses each month, then basic logic and common sense would state that your SNAP benefits should INCREASE, as well, not be REDUCED!! Sounds like a classic case of "The Lord giveth; his dispiciples taketh away"!

Refers to a somewhat-"tame"/boring and/or repetitive musical composition that is "okay", but definitely nothing special or "memorable" --- it would merely be something that you might wanna half-listen to while waiting for someone to pick up/get back to you on the phone, be serenaded with over a store's PA system while shopping, or have for soothing your impatience when riding a slow elevator.
The NYC Greyhound station plays light-classical music over the ceiling-speakers to help its patrons to while away the long boring hours during bus-layovers; I appreciate it that they don't simply toss "music on hold"-grade tunes at you for extended periods.

Seeing as how floating vessels date back to da earliest known human-population eras, da oarigin of manually propelling them would likely have occurred at a comparably super-ancient time as said buoyant contraptions themselves appeared.

If migrant workers were called in to drill for "black gold" in Soddy Arabia, they probably would not need lumber for temporary housing, since they could just build American-pioneer-type dwellings out of da existing ground-cover.

Immature and irresponsible actions between a pair of "less than grown up" lovebirds which results in da girl's soon having to start "eating for two".
In da infamous "Mary Jane" parody of da classic "hill-climbing duo" kiddie-poem, da fact dat "silly Jill forgot her pill" caused her delightful encounter wif her male companion to become downright "childish behavior"!
