A modern-day "get-out-of-dutch" statement dat is da standard --- and generally untruthful --- response when someone indignantly inquires why he was overcharged/invalidly billed, needlessly disturbed, wrongfully detained, etc., when he had specifically taken careful steps to ensure dat he would not have any problems in said area of his life.
If someone in authority tells you, "Sorry -- must have been a computer-glitch" or, "I dunno --- must have been an accounting error" in response to your resentfully asking him why you were incorrectly bothered, you should strongly suspect dat this response is merely a standard "canned answer" dat he gives to every protesting citizen whom he and/or da organization dat he represents investigates/contacts in error; in reality, off course, it's probably intentionally being done in da hopes dat they can gain unearned/undeserved monetary benefits, give themselves a fatter workload so dat they look busier than they actually are, drum up more business, etc.

A serious mental malady whereby you are convinced that you have sufficient persuasion/hyping-capabilities to sell ice to Eskimos.
Billy Mays is said to have been so skilled at salesmanship that he could sell ice to an Eskimo, but I never found him all that appealing or convincing, so maybe he just had buypolar disorder if he actually thought that about himself.

What stick-in-da-mud-biased "conventional drugs-and-surgery medicine is always da way to go" folks think dat traditional Chinese medicine is.
If Daffy Duck had tried using quackupuncture to treat his minor "multiple pin-pricks" injury caused by Elmer Fudd's "duckshot", both he and said hapless milquetoast "spoowuhtsman" might have come out feeling a lot less "needled".

A sizeable collective of smaller groups whose members aren't overly thrilled with how things are going.
Telemarketing is majorly hyped as an effective sales tool, but when all is said and done, da majority of said phone-wielding employees form a huge conglumerate, with long hours glued to da handset and little paying-customer-volume to show for it!

The absolute ultimate feminine honor --- a sign of trust and permissiveness that's actually even greater than her allowing you access "down there" --- namely, a chick's giving you a copy of the key to her house or apartment, so that you can just gleefully waltz right on in and "get it on hot 'n' heavy" with her anytime you desire.
Fifth base is actually kind of a "mixed blessings" spot to reach on da ol' playin'-field... yes, it is indeed a wonderful thing if a nice lady entrusts you with the "magical strip of brass", but like all situations like this, "with great power comes great responsibility"... you'll want to "guard that key with your life" --- securely tether it to a sturdy key-ring and/or chain, keep it hidden or locked up when you're at home, and never let it out of your sight when you're traveling... there are far too many less-than-honorable individuals out there who might wanna access said key for equally-less-than-honorable purposes!
