Refers to a person's using the well-known prevalence of widespread fake/mass-advertising correspondence as an excuse for his not obeying/acknowledging a 100%-legitimate-but-unwelcome message he has received, such as a hefty bill, restraining order, or other upsetting/disappointing directive that he does not wish to comply with ("Well, it made no sense to me, so I honestly believed it was just a fake message, and simply shrugged it off"). The effectiveness and/or defense-worthiness of said practice --- and your chances of being let off the hook as a result --- can sometimes be further bolstered by "pre-innocentizing" yourself (such as frequently showing up in court for no reason and claiming every time that you'd received an order to appear, and then finally --- after being irritably told for the umpteenth time by the court-clerk that they'd never sent you a summons --- declaring in a frustrated huff, "Fine... well, I guess somebody's been playing sick jokes on me, so from now on I'm just gonna simply IGNORE any and all such notices I receive!") sometime before committing whatever infractions would likely result in said unwelcome orders, so that you can appear justified in your non-compliance with what you supposedly thought was yet another fake order.
I successfully used the spam/telemarketer defense when asked why I hadn't answered a court-summons; I just said, "Oh, that notice was REAL? Oh my --- well, I'd honestly believed it was a fake message... since I've had so many pushy telemarketers and con-men harass me --- sometimes even falsely claiming to be tax-auditors or law-enforcement personnel --- that I'd long ago adopted an 'ignore any and all such notices as fake' policy."

Refers to a insanely-demented "wild-overreaction" exercise by government/police officials who crazily stampede though a certain area and wrongfully/needlessly confiscate items from the general public.
Ever since the IRS was founded "way back when", U.S. citizens have felt like Uncle Sam launches an epileptic seizure each April.

What "Mad Dog" Tannen majorly found himself in when Marty McFly see-sawed da saloon's infamous brass container up and over said outlaw's head.
If Buford T hadn't ordered Marty to dance, he probably would not have ended up in da messy spituation dat he found himself in when Marty stepped on da end of da loose floorboard and launched da urn of tobacco-juice onto Buford's head.

Refers to da extra hours dat you get during da end-of-da-year season for sleeping, hobbies. indoor leisure-activities, etc., due to its often being too chilly and/or dark outside to preform da mundane-drudgery tasks dat you'd otherwise feel obliged to do while da weather was milder and there were more hours of daylight.
Having extra winter-time to relax and recreate is all well and good, but da problem wid dat is dat da tasks dat you would ordinarily have performed during those colder/darker months will still hafta be completed eventually, and so you will therefore have additional arduous/tedious "spring tasks" to grumble/wheeze through come warmer weather.

Humorous term to describe where you "publicly" solicit the knowledge ("Excuse me, everyone --- do any of you happen to know anything about ___?", or, ""Hey, Folks --- are any of you familiar with the technical properties of ___?") of anyone within yelling-distance about a particular question or problem that you encounter at that time and place.
Doing a bystander Google-search can yield surprising results --- more than once I have gotten out of a perplexing dilemma in this way.
