A comparison of someone with a successful track record due to his having a mental "backbone", as opposed to a cowardly weakling who is reluctant to speak up or try anything new/risky/unconventional because he fears failure and/or offending someone, and so he lives a life of stagnation, shame, and mediocrity.
To determine which side of the "winner vs. wiener" scale you are, consider whether or not you're willing to "go out on a limb" for the potential betterment of your life, take an unpopular view in the interests of morals or progress, or to step out of the crowd and stick up for someone else.

Refers to any "low-stamina" dude --- usually middle-aged or older --- with moderate chronic aches and pains which prevent him from seeking regular employment, although he does still attempt to assist other less-fortunates in "treating" or "curing" minor difficulties in their everyday lives. Every town has at least one or two of these unique hombres.
It's often very easy to determine if Doctor Moangroan is back in town or not --- just poke your head out your front door and crane your head up da street and down da street... if ya hear him moanin' and groanin'. then you know he's back in town. Any time "da Big M" does wearily shuffle back into city limits on his way home again from a brief sojourn to do grocery-shopping or visit friends in a distant place, the townspeople hastily schedule a "Groaners' Anonymous" meeting; to give D.M. his due credit, he has absolutely zero hesitation in acknowledging that he does indeed suffer from a major "groaning" problem, and so he ALWAYS goes to the meeting --- every time --- in fact, he CHAIRS the group --- he heads it up! Not sure how much actual benefit da meetings do him or da multitudes of other huge balding and hairy-stomached dudes with fibromyalgia, Arthur Itis, and/or Charles Horse who also attend said gatherings, but at least you get plenty of companionship, plus they always pass out free glucosamine, chondroitin, and MSM pills to help ease da guys' aches somewhat, and so that's a good thing.

A government body dat likes to do a lot of finger-wagging and tongue-clucking at the people under its jurisdiction.
I resent having Big Brother try to tell me what's best for me, anyway, but what really broils my pudding is when an admonistration hypocritically "talks out of both sides of its mouth" (i.e., says one thing but does another)... a classic example is where they loudly decry the practice of couples' cohabitating without a wedding band, yet they charge people more in income-taxes if they get married.

What you succeeded in doing when you failed to understand local natives' warnings during a visit to Cols and went noisily/splashingly wading in a creek that is inhabited by fearsome-toothed red-colored anglerfish-like predators.
If you don't want your gravestone to read, "Missed the point --- pissed the moint", you should closely listen and comprehend what your intergalactic tour-guide tells you about the dangerous plants and animals on a particular planet or asteroid that you're planning on visiting.

Can refer to either:
(1) a defiant sulky overbearing manner dat a closed-minded person exhibits if anyone expresses doubts about supposed facts dat they themselves believe are reliable/correct, or
(2) a similar disagreeable unwillingness to agreeably go along if someone in charge tells them to "step lively" due to some purported deadline or emergency.

Maybe you'd soon develop a "stattitude", too, if people were always telling you to jump like a jack-in-da-box and go flitting about at a frenzied pace just to please them regarding some merely-believed-by-only-them impending catastrophe, but which you see little or no sign of actual existence, such as a political dilemma, religious calamity, etc.
