What da two shysters in da "Emperor's New Clothes" story had to dispense a lot of in order to alleviate observers' suspicion as to why there was no thread on the weaving-apparatus on their looms.
All of da observing folks in da famous "invisible clothing" tale were absurdly trusting and easily-fooled (well, all except da "innocent little boy", of course), so da two swindlers had a very easy time of succeeding with their "shuttle diplomacy", at least until the parade was underway (by which time they themselves had likely slipped away with their ill-gotten riches and had long-since disappeared). In real life, however, representatives of various countries, governments, and ethnic/religious groups often have a much harder time coaxing trust and cooperation from da leaders and officials of da various territories dat dey hafta visit and work in.

Claiming dat your frequent and/or lengthy perusing of and/or posting on internet message-boards is because "it's heredditary" is an invalid defense in two ways --- first of all, just because an older family-member has engaged in an unhealthy practice does not in any way excuse YOU for doing da same --- each of us has an obligation to behave responsibly around our fellow humans as best we reasonably can, regardless of what those who came before us have chosen to do. And then secondly, if you are indeed aware of your senior relative's unwise actions to such a degree dat you can actually verbalize coherently about it, then --- again --- you have da "respect for your fellow man" duty to actively take whatever appropriate steps that are logically within your physical/mental/intellectual capabilities to perform better yourself --- in da words of wise men everywhere, “Those that fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it.”

A lot of "Chineseum" metal-channel/piping framework-assemblies are merely tacked together with a few carelessly-slapped-on poorous welds --- definitely examples of "you get what you pay for"-level workmanship!

Describes either:
(1) a non-typical configuration of a gal's "downstairs lips" dat makes for less-than-easy insertion of a guy's lulu, or
(2) da complicated series of hoops dat a particular gal makes any guy jump through before she'll agree to spread her legs for him.

Having fewer prospects to begin with, a plain-looking gal may not usually expect much initial requirement before allowing an eager stud to "proceed to fourth base" with her, but da hotter chicks tend to require a total labiarinth of specifications before they'll "surrender da goods" to any guy.

In areas with frequent and/or sudden downpours, one would be wise to always use a canapé canopy when hosting outdoor parties or banquets.

A "holy ground" locale where navy-servicemen come to pray for protection prior to going to battle on the high seas.
I prefer to avoid armed conflict of any kind, so I see no need to attend a house of warship every Sunday.
