Mercy buckets! 

Plastic pails of relief/comfort-materials --- i.e., cleansing-wipes, salve/ointment, bandages, hot-packs, ice-compresses, etc. --- dat bring much-needed solace to people with abrasions, sunburn, tired/achy muscles, sore/irritated skin, etc., and so they will profusely thank you in French for providing said soothing products.

Company nurse, speaking to a worker who's suffering heat-stroke: Want a nice cool wet towel and some milk of magnesia?
Worker: S'il vous plait.
Nurse, administering said welcome relief: Silver plates?!
Worker: Mercy buckets!

Silver plates?! 

What you pretend-irritably toss back at present company when he "foreign languages you" with a casual request for or an acknowledgment of your assistance. (Obviously this would not be da case wif Gomez Addams, though, since he actually ENJOYS when Morticia speaks French, and so he would never feel irritable or resentful if she uttered thus to him.)

Person A, collecting small dropped objects from a pebbly beach, and passing them one-by-one to Person B to hold for him: S'il vous plait?
Person B, obligingly accepting said items from Person A, but feeling a bit disgusted at seemingly being utilized as merely a portable storage-unit: Silver plates?!

ruminder 

"Note to self" regarding any subject pertaining to strong liquor.

A picture of a cop-car taped to da center of yer steering-wheel can be a good ruminder not to drink and drive.

ROMinder 

"Note to self" to not fergit to remove da software-CD from your computer's disc-drive.

I found a "Classic Computer Games" disc still inside da drive of da second-hand desktop PC dat I'd ordered from a private eBay seller; I guess dat said amateur salesperson should have written himself a ROMinder to always check inside da machines before he shipped them. He was super-grateful for my immediately telling him of his goof, though, and hastily imaged me a postage-paid shipping-label to print out and slap on da mailer for returning da disc to him.

Yeah, yeah; toes --- so what?! 

Da amusedly-puzzled remark dat you make when someone wif a major foot-fetish is going all vocally-and-physically ga-ga over yer ten lower extremities.

Tolerant big-boned tomboy, perplexedly watching as her new main squeeze is having fun exclaimingly yanking her big feet back and forth like gear-shifts and delightedly flexing her ample rubbery double-jointed digits back at a right-angle in his savoring hands: Yeah, yeah; toes --- so what?!

pluscebo 

Something dat makes you think you're getting additional when you actually aren't.

If a chick appears to have a satisfying-full bosom under her blouse, it's wise to check to see if it's merely a pluscebo --- i.e., she might merely be wearing a padded bra.

opawesome

How you view small gray pointy-nosed prehensile-tailed marsupials if you're really "into them".

Red Green and his crudely-macho buddies must have considered their lodge-mascot animal to be really opawesome, since their meeting-opener motto --- Quando omni flunkus moritati --- translates to, "When all else fails, play dead."
