I hadda attend a long boring business-meeting where a lot of different people were telling each other their names and positions in da company; da only fun I had was afterwards, when I was able to play da audio-tape of said meeting at 2-times normal speed to make everyone's voices sound like nasally quacking; dat way I could giggle at everyone's "introducktions".

Refers to the noisy whooshy spluttering in your pipes when turning on a spigot, often heard when doing so for the first time after having the water turned back on, and so there is lots of accumulated/trapped air in the plumbing that has to be "exhausted".
I just about had a heart attack in first grade when the tap on the sink in the boy's room started making loud popping and banging sounds --- and erratically spewing frothy water --- while I was washing my hands. Well, after all, what with my being only eight years old at the time, and with the washroom's echoey concrete walls and floor amplifying and distorting every little sound, it was only logical that I would have been terrified at this unexpected occurrence --- so much so, in fact, that I frantically called the Principal down to show him. He was totally understanding and sympathetic, gently explaining to me that there was nothing to fear; it was just faucet flatulence.

What the Wright Brothers and other early-aviation pioneers had to face every time they took to the skies in their primitive flying-machine inventions.
When airplanes were first being tried out at carnivals and trade-shows, many people were afraid to ride in them due to a perceived (and often-all-too-true!) "flight-risk". So a standard "grim grins" statement that these distrustful folks would make in retort/reply to an offer to climb aboard one of those airborne coffins was, "Yeah, sure --- I'll fly... if I can keep one FOOT ON THE GROUND!"

What stilts-enthusiast King Birtram's patrol-cats prevent by guarding the Kingdom Of Binn's dike-trees night and day.
I take it that there is enough of a nizzard blizzard at egg-hatching time to keep the population of said snooty blackbirds fairly stable, since after his banishment, the evil Lord Droon was made to gaggingly make a meal out of one or more cooked specimens of said troublesome flapper three times a day.

Refers to the notion that if you get in the car with a dude and you get drunk, you are automatically agreeing to have sex with him.
Teenage driver: Dang it all --- I never really wanted to bother learning to drive at this early age, but I had heard all about the "implied consent" deal that new drivers automatically fall under, and so I figgered that it would be a great way to get all da hot chicks in town to spread their legs for me! What a rip-off!

An "obvious" --- i.e., easily recognizable with just a casual glance, and therefore does not need to be actually verbalized --- and comparatively-simple/minor assistive action dat someone requests merely by saying, "S'il-vous plait?"
Typical example of a French favor: Person A approaches Person B in his workshop and holds out two separate pieces of an item that have come apart, and thus need to be re-attached together with glue, one or more screws/nails, re-bending a wire fastener, etc.
Person A, a bit plaintively: "S'il-vous plait?"
Person B, immediately seeing what needs to be done, and smilingly feigning indignance: "Silver PLATES?!"
Person B then performs said simple repair, prompting Person A to gleefully hug Person B and then turn and start off again with a huge joyful grin on his face.
Person A: "Merci beaucoup!"
Person B, giving Person A an affable amused clap on the back: "Mercy buckets!"
