What a grade-school student tells someone as a reason for his unwillingness to perform a requested action; it means dat while he personally would not mind doing it, he is afraid dat "da big man in dat dreaded upstairs office" would disapprove, and thus he would give him major grief if he found out.

Just like da "too good to be true" situation, this term refers to some wonderful item/service dat you will supposedly receive for nothing, but which you should seriously wonder if that is actually "all there is to it", or if there is some hidden proviso involved.
Da Bible claims dat you will receive happiness and riches beyond belief if you "just believe", but it sounds to me just like a "too good to be free" deal. God makes you endure a life of excessive toil and misery and abstinence first, so what good is that??

I love helping da less-privileged and physically/emotionally-infirm members of da human race, so I signed up wif Holden Hands. Da work was indeed totally satisfying and rewarding; da only prob was dat whenever I was paired wif one or more cutie-chick volunteers to perform community-assistance tasks, I always wanted to just "cuddle 'n' snuggle" wif said friendly adorable blinky-eyed damsels all day, and so we'd never get any work done --- kinda difficult to do much of anything when a marshmallow-hearted guy is cradling you on his lap, cooingly interlacing his fingers wif yers, and savoringly flexing yer toes and kneading yer arches and heels. Fortunately we were able to brainstorm a solution dat was palatable for all parties --- da lovely ladies smilingly agreed to let me rub their pretty feet during our lunch hours (oh, they loved "holden hands" wif me, too, of course --- da reason dat they were giving me access to just their tootsies during dat period was merely so dat their hands would be free to maneuver their food to their mouths), and then sit wif me after da workday was done for more misty-eyed foot-massages and hand-holding. So my being able to always gleefully look forward to said extremities-sharing delights kept me contented and happy throughout da workday, and thus allowed us all to perform our assigned duties without interruption.

Computer-hackers and virus-creators often cause us well-behaved and hard-working innocents incalculable distress and damage, so they should be sent to Lenovoworth for a good long time to repent for their crimes.

Plying someone with Silver Bullets as a physical/emotional incentive or confidence-enhancement to persevere with a particular undertaking.
For some people, a little refreshing "liquid courage" might indeed help them to get through a difficult assignment, but giving someone too much of said "encooragement" will likely just make him careless, aggressive, distracted, groggy, etc, and so da quality of his work in da carrying out of said procedure will likely suffer greatly.
