gobbligation

A mandatory responsibility to either wolf something down or make sounds like a turkey.

If you feel like you have a gobbligation to consume an edible at breakneck speed (like at a pie-eating contest), you'd risk developing such a tummy-ache afterwards dat you'd make agonized noises dat might indeed resemble how a large bulky wattle-sporting bird sounds off.

snitchuation

An unfortunate development that occurs due to someone's either having tattled on you, or having stolen one or more objects.

Certain overzealous co-workers may be tempted to snitch on someone if they see him snitch one of the boss's donuts, but this favor-seeking action can lead to said busted pastry-thief's resentfully retaliating on said snitch, and the resulting snitchuation can then quickly escalate into an ugly full-blown snitching-war!

It just creates issues

A sour play-on-words remark dat refers to a publishing-house dat produces meritless printed-matter installments which causes its readers to either feel distress themselves, or influences/prompts them to perform imprudent actions themselves and/or misbehave in distressing ways towards others.

Commercialized-religion organizations, racial-hatred groups, and unwise-habit advocates are classic examples of entities dat disseminate merely hurtful crap dat doesn't serve any legitimate purpose and wastes da time/effort/materials consumed in producing said unhealthy reading-material. So any paper-media-creating business dat cooperates wif any of said debauched entities by printing their newsletters or catalogues doesn't perform a useful purpose, either --- it just creates issues.

the buck stops here

1. When you give money to a dishonest person to pass along to someone else, but he just keeps said cash for himself.
2. What happens in the vicinity of a "willing" doe during the rut.

Some years ago we naively gave one of the local tax-assessors the money for our yearly property-taxes, but she simply pocketed the cash and dishonestly kept it for herself... she shoulda had a t-short dat read, "the buck stops here"!

empty-boxcars train of assurers

Derisive term for a sizable number of acquaintances of someone with a dubious reputation who make praising statements about the individual's character/morals, offer to co-sign a loan he's requesting, etc., but who are of comparably-questionable integrity themselves, are also broke, etc., and so their own word and/or reliability is viewed as not being much more of a legitimate guarantee than the promises of the person they're vouching for. In other words, "quantito, but not qualito"... lots of impressive-looking "containers", but with no actual/tangible/legitimate "goods" inside of said containers.

Loan officer: I always feel really wary/suspicious whenever someone of unknown/questionable reputation asks for a loan and offers to bring in a number of other folks to vouch for his character, reliability, and financial responsibility --- "methinks he doth protest too much", plus usually his so-called "witnesses" appear to merely be an "empty-boxcars train of assurers"... they seem no more trustworthy than I would view the loan-requester himself as being, and so their voluminous praise/recommendations hold little significance and inspire little confidence in me regarding whether the loan-requester would actually possess adequate means/motivation/dedication to repay the money. I feel something like how the lady-attorney in "Losing Isaiah" did when she pointed out that the members of the "support group" whom ex-druggie/shoplifter Khaila had named as the people who were assisting her in her efforts to "go straight" and "live clean" had themselves all been former drug-users and/or criminals, and so she felt that they should not be considered to be viable/reliable helpers to prevent Khaila from relapsing.

bookmobile vs. boobmobile

We know which one would win as far as da number of folks gathered around it. :P

Y'know, da concept of "bookmobile vs. boobmobile" might not be such a crazy idea, after all --- if they had one or more chesty chicks operate and staff said tomes-stocked bus, and promised guys dat dey would each get to feel up said well-endowed cuties for a few minutes in exchange for every book dat dey read, local literacy and readership would likely skyrocket!
