What Linda McFly had to ask Big Brother Dave when he protestingly grumbled to her that "although he wasn't her answering service", a guy by one of those two names had called for her a little while earlier. What makes this heartwarmingly-amusing it that before Marty's destiny-altering adventures in 1955, the geeky-looking and bespectacled Linda had been sulkily bemoaning the fact that few boys seemed at all interested in her plain and somewhat-chunky self, she now had so many "cool dude" admirers that there actually **was** a guy named "Greg" AND another guy named "Craig" who would have been equally-likely to phone her up.
It can indeed be wonderful if you actually have so many boyfriends that you hafta ask, "Well, which one was it --- Greg or Craig?" upon being told about a missed phone call, but it can also be a bit difficult and embarrassing if you need to call the name of one of them to a large group of guys hanging out together, since it may cause two or more of said hot hunks to come running to you in response, each thinking you were hollering to him instead of someone else in the group. :P

Heat/abrasion-resistant barrier to protect you from da rude/disrespectful speech/attitude dat others direct at you.
One major piece of advice dat I received in human-interaction counseling was to develop a thicker layer of mental/emotional insolation so dat others' verbally-hurtful "barbs" wouldn't "penetrate" so deeply into my soul.

Prices for access to da "willing" ladies at a boardello (i.e., where da chicks are super-voluptuous, and so you get a major "woody" as soon as you "lumber" in da front door) tend to be higher than at a boredello, but as da saying goes, you get what ya pay for.

A capable/knowledgeable grownup --- such as a somewhat-rebellious-minded older relative like an aunt/uncle or grandparent, local pediatrician, grade-school counsellor, high-school classmate, etc.) who snortingly ignores parental wishes (i.e., "undermines") regarding young offspring (i.e., "minors"), giving said children the "goodie-items" they desire (spending money, sweets, toys, etc.) but that the children's Spartan-hearted parents don't want them to have, provides information/assistance with learning/tasks which the youngsters are unable to accomplish on their own but their parents refuse to merely tell them the needed answers or otherwise significantly help them in their efforts because "they need to figure it out for themselves", tells them and/or helps them to find out about "mature" topics (such as the age-old "young innocent's query" of "How was I born?", or the awkward/alarm-raising question, "What does an "adult-level"/violent/swear word that the Puritan-minded parent is horrified to discover that the young/impressionable child was introduced/exposed to mean?") that their over-protective parents refuse to explain/discuss with them yet because said parents think that their children are "still too young" to be told about such things, etc. Kids absolutely adore this kind of "willing to talk/help" person; parents hate their guts!
I'm kind of "on the fence" regarding telling/giving "da small fry" what they want against their parents' wishes... on da one hand, I fully respect a parent's desire to protect and nurture his offspring in an appropriate manner, but what about the (often very numerous, unfortunately!) instances when the parent **incorrectly** declines to help/enlighten the child, such as not assisting him in cases where he honestly does indeed have no idea how to proceed, or refusing to discuss/explain about a topic that **would indeed** be okay/appropriate/necessary for him to know about at his age?? I know how horridly frustrated I used to get as a small child when grownups wouldn't answer a simple question or help me with some mundane endeavor, and then later I'd resentfully find out that it actually WOULD have been perfectly okay/possible/appropriate for said grownup to have helped me, and thus I had needlessly been subjected to untold suffering and confusion by the adult's refusal to step in! What I would have given for a good underminor whom I could have run to in these "times of need" --- nowadays as a grownup myself, I SO INDEED make an effort to be a "child's advocate" --- I try hard to be helpful and generous in these ways whenever I see a confused/tearful child who needs info about/assistance with something.

Da basic beliefs or teachings possessed and practiced by Ms. Diller and other ladies with her same first name.
If most same-name ladies have a similar Phyllisophical idea-base, maybe they could form a nationwide club to discuss and promote positive change.

"Social multitasking" --- spending "quality time" with two or more "close friends" (i.e., pals whom you are so comfy with that you don't mind being "up close and personal" with them.
Time-sharing can be lots of fun and wonderfully soul-soothing emotional support for everyone involved... for example, a big flexible-limbed dude can either take a relaxing country-lane stroll hand-in-hand with his two favorite chicks ambling placidly along on either side, or he can sit on a park-bench between his two blinky-eyed admirers and cradle one of the nice girls in each arm. Or a warm-hearted cutie can lift up her t-shirt and "suckle" two "milk-thirsty" guys at once, or she can lounge back into one guy's arms while casually draping her legs over into another mushy-hearted male admirer's lap so that he can massage her feet and knead her calves.
