What having to study a sawdusty-dry religious-teachings book feels like to a youngster who's not interested and/or doesn't believe in said insanely-boring printed material.
One possible way to avoid a total catechlism would be to avail yourself of da clever sneaky "dust-jacket switcheroo" facade dat Biff Tannen employed in da "Back To The Future 2" movie --- find yourself a truly-enthralling book of about da same overall dimensions as your Bible-blabber book, remove da paper cover from said intolerable tome, and put it onto your super-entertaining literary work instead. Dat way, any sniffy snooty adult who happens by will observe da "correct 'n' proper" book-cover and thus be deceived into thinking dat you're diligently studying your Good Book supplement, when in reality you're merely keeping yourself palatably occupied till your assigned study-time is up and you'll be allowed to go outside and play again.

As crazy as many so-called "fundamentalists" behave, the word might be more aptly spelled "fundementalists" when referring to those absurdly-fanatical individuals!

Cutting wif scissors and/or carefully separating sheet-portions along perforations, so as to avoid ripping da material in ragged-edged pieces.
Making fussy little snips or careful tugs rather than simply yankin' a sheet of paper or cloth in two may indeed be a neater and more-accurate altornative, but many folks lack da patience and/or hand-movement precision for dat crap.

The humorous knighted-Scottish-actor impersonation that you eye-twinkingly utilize to address your companion(s) when letting them into a building of some kind where the "regular" entrance had been either locked, jammed, or obstructed with objects/debris on the inside, and so you have "gone around" and slipped into said edifice from an alternate door or other opening that you know about from previous visits here, wormed your way forward through the interior of the structure till you eventually reached the front access-point again, cleared away any blockage from the doorway-area, and then finagled/wrestled said door open for easier and less-obtrusive entry by your accompanying humans; this saves their all having to tiringly make extra steps all the way over to the side-entrance, slither through narrow doorways, clamber over obstructions, unnecessarily disturb other present occupants of said building, etc..
Years ago before we had a telephone of our own, my sister and I would occasionally go to make calls at the office of a fellow-low-income-neighbor's service-garage. The only problem was that the shop's French-window-style front door had a broken/loose latch-mechanism, and thus the door was often very balky about opening up from the outside. So to save my slight-figured and not-very-steady-on-her-extra-small-feet sister's having to wobblingly struggle her way into the office by an alternate route, I would merely leave her standing at the front door of the garage while I performed a classic "Welcome to The R-d-d-d-ock!" maneuver --- I'd hurriedly scuttle around back, quietly sidle in at the mechanics'-access door, unobtrusively pick my way through the service-bays where the guys were working and on into the office's rear entrance, forcibly fumble and jiggle the wobbly latch-mechanism to coax the front door into performing its "open sesame" routine, and then smilingly usher my still-patiently-waiting sister inside the office and over to the old swivel-chair by the desk where the phone was.

Baldy from Baldymoore may indeed not have any cranium-cushioning worth braggin' about, but at least he saves a bundle on barber-fees.

"Mechanic-speak" mumbo-jumbo technical jargon used when discussing specs/repairs of vintage roadsters and sports cars. It's such a complicated and seemingly-unintelligible speech-pattern that it might as well be a foreign language to a non-mechanical-knowledgeable listener.
In "Back To The Future, Part 2", Marty protestingly says, "English, Doc!" when said wild-haired scientist is worriedly reciting his babbling Swahealey about how the DeLorean had been mis-used by Biff Tanned to majorly mess up the entire space-time continuum.

A man’s penis. Usually referred to by an intimately-involved female to express indignation at the guy’s apparent practice of thinking only with his dick.
He: Why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free?
She: Well, if THAT’S how you feel, then I say, why buy the entire PIG just to get a little SAUSAGE?! (Acknowledgements to Andy Rooney)
