Once digital movie-cameras got perfected to da point dat they actually delivered superior images to film, da celluloid-manufacturers were understandably less-than-thrilled about it; definitely a little conflickt of interest there.

Get the conflickt of interest mug.Denotes da no-longer-current status of whatever stupid-a** topic dat someone is bawling and blubbering about.
It was indeed unfortunate dat President Lincoln got assassinated, but dat event happened almost 160 years ago, so it seems like kind of a sobsolete event to get tear-floodingly emotional about.

Get the sobsolete mug.If a merchant has a "volume discount" policy whereby he will "match decibels with discounts" --- i.e., if your vocal-level is 25 dB when you ask for a cheaper price, you get 25% off; raising your voice to 30 dB gains you 30% off, etc. --- then da key would be to actually haul in a moderately-powerful PA system wif huge boomy loudspeakers --- or show up wif several of your buddies speaking through high-wattage megaphones --- and really B-L-A-S-T your price-easement request at a HUNDRED decibels... not only might you indeed obtain said products at no charge, but da shop-owner might simply be more than happy to give you da merchandise for free just to get you and your deafeningly-noisy equipment or bullhorn-toting retinue outta his joint!! :P

Get the volume discount mug.The greatest cop-out in the parent/grownup world, this phrase is uttered when the adult is not able/willing to address/alleviate a totally legitimate problem or concern that a child is complaining to him about. Even worse is if the adult uses amused/cutesy/sarcastic expressions and/or actions to accompany said invalid statement, such as giving the kid a couple quick pats on the cheek for "dismissive emphasis and finality", giggling while speaking, saying, "You wanna know what I *honestly* think?" beforehand, opining that "somebunny" needs the nap (which of course makes the child all the more upset and humiliated, since this makes it appear to the child that the adult is not even really listening to him or taking what he has to say seriously), etc.
Statement: You need a nap.
What is really meant: I don't have the time/money/authority/inclination to help resolve your problem, and/or the bratty/overbearing person who is mistreating you is related to a "somebody" who is important to our family, and so I don't dare make a scene or try to demand that you be treated better by him. But I'm afraid to be truthful with you about this because I've always promised you that I will protect you and correct any wrongs in your young life, and so if you find out that I was "just saying that" but actually am not always able/willing to help you in every case, you will hate me as a parent and never trust me again. Same thing happened with me and your grandparents when I was little.

Get the You need a nap mug.Stuffed-shirt politicians are known for being nounose --- spouting "freedom", "economy", "patriotism" --- rather than overusing action words like "rebel", "question", "protest", etc.

Get the nounose mug.Hägar the Horrible: Da local "health-food hippie" nutrition-guru suggested dat I "go veggie" in an effort to curb my voracious appetite, but said dietary changes haven't helped my hunger-pangs one bit --- if anything, I feel even more ravenous than beefore!

Get the beefore mug.What a phony weight-loss doctor performs by having an overweight person view himself in a gimmicked looking glass dat is slightly concave, causing his reflected image to appear slimmer than he actually is.
Perhaps if President Taft's official doctor performed a "mirroracle of medicine" to trick said corpulent commander-in-chief into thinking dat he was actually not quite so rotund as he actually was, it caused him to feel a bit less despondent about his weight, but it did nothing to alter said heavy head-honcho's actual bulk --- he had not been any less space-occupying at da time of his death, and so he is rumored to have been buried in a coffin da size of a piano case.
