A dude competing for a chick's affections who brings legal action against her for some ruined-romance-related matter, such as her not "being loyal" to or spending a promised amount of time with him, failing to return money dat he'd loaned her and she'd promised to pay back if she started dating someone else, etc.
A lady should be very careful how she treats the special men in her life --- a rival SUITOR can quickly become a rival SUEDHER; this term can also sometimes even mean one of two or more "old flame" plaintiffs who ALL feel dat she has wronged them in some way.

Hot chick: Da first time my new guy took me to see his house, he also showed me his collection of gleaming six-shooters and deluxe upHOLSTERy-lined pistol-packing sleeves, then fitted me with safety-goggles and earmuffs, and helped me to participate in an impromptu target-practice party with his buddies.

What da hissy-fit-and-beheading-order-prone Queen of Hearts was trying to claim dat da Knave of Hearts had, since his absconding with da royal pastries had supposedly caused her such tremendous emotional distress.
Since da Knave of Hearts had apparently returned da "sweet treats" dat he'd previously taken (Alice sees them on the courtroom table), would his tart liability have been erased?

Derisive term for a situation where a chronic moocher tries to temptingly persuade you to "just give him one very last loan" supposedly in order to enable him to accomplish whatever he needs to do in order to become able to finally pay you back all that he owes you --- and possibly a bit extra as a gratitude gesture --- in one lump sum. The idea is that he still does not even possess a real "carrot" --- i.e., any actual cold hard cash --- to offer you, but he is merely offering you the empty-talk promise of a "whole bag or carrots" --- i.e., a large one-time payment-amount that is far greater than any of the individual loans you have given him so far -- if you continue to bust your a** on his behalf. And of course, this assertion, too, is itself usually just another worthless promise, similar to all the other times when said handout-seeker has come bawling and blubbering to you for financial assistance in the past.
The local preacher tried to tell me that if I toil my butt off and live a life of strict propriety and chastity, **maybe** I will be given great rewards in Heaven. Sounds like a classic "empty carrots-bag on a stick" promise to me --- why should I suffer the agonies of an extra-hard and boring existence, especially when I am not even assured of any recognition or benefits for my efforts, anyway???
