I couldn't understand da poorly-worded instruction-manual dat came wif my lawn-ornament elf, but fortunately it was a "simple 'n' straightforward" matter to merely place said colorful plaster statue in my desired locale, and so I really didn't need to trouble myself trying to decipher said cryptic gnomenclature.

Da infamous "young lawyer from Connecticut" who burst onto da transportation scene at da low point in da history of automobile safety, totally "ripped everything up like a tornadir", and belatedly prompted car-manufacturers to create models with stronger builds, collision-dampening construction, greater efficiency, lower emissions, seat belts, etc.
If it hadn't been for "unreasonable man" individuals like Ralph Nadir who forcibly dragged da auto-industry out of its lowest-of-lows safety-status, many of our modern-day vehicles would likely still be "unsafe at any speed".

Noah was supposedly the one who built the famous huge flood-resistant vessel, but according to the hilariously-naive Gracie Allen, Joan of Arc was the real arkitect: "Oh, c'mon, George --- us women have always been the true pioneers in the world! WE did all of the greatest achievements, not you men! Why, did Joan of Arc hesitate? No! She got busy and built it!"
George Burns: "Built what?"
Gracie Allen: "The Ark!"
George Burns: "Gracie, the Ark was built by a **man**, remember? Noah?"
Gracie Allen: "How could I 'noah'? Shes been deceased for 500 years!"
George Burns: "Built what?"
Gracie Allen: "The Ark!"
George Burns: "Gracie, the Ark was built by a **man**, remember? Noah?"

A "perfect world" as defined just by yourself, regardless of how other world-inhabiting organisms (i.e., people, animals, plants, etc) might happen to feel about it. A classic example would be what Lucy van Pelt was trying to create by handing out lists of faults to all of her friends --- "I want to make the world a better place for me to live in."
Ethan Couch's absurdly-doting-and-overindulgent father wanted to create a virtual "metopia" learning-environment for his "little prince", and so he actually offered to buy the entire school so that he could control how it was run and therefore dictate how "Little Man" was being treated.

Da "medical treatment" dat da former midget received from Baron Bomburst which caused him to become several feet taller.
On a less-gruesome note, da term "rackupuncture" could also refer to a traditional-Chinese-medicine-type procedure whereby slender needles are inserted into a lady's body at strategic points in order to improve da health and/or appearance of her boobs.

A crafty smooth-talker dude who initially claims to just want a "first base" friendship with a lady, but in reality is merely using this assertion as an "opener" to eventually getting into her pants.
Hot chick: Brandon claimed he just wants to take me for strolls hand-in-hand... yeah, right... sounds like da classic "platonic bridge-salesman" pitch to me --- I've seen how he looks at me whenever I wear a swimsuit or a sun-dress!

Da feeling of "empty letdown after having toiled for nothing" dat you experience as an adult after you'd studied your a** off in grade school about certain strongly-hyped-and-pushed-for-their-supposedly-great-importance subjects (history, science, botany, biology, etc.) other than da "three R's", only to find dat in reality you seldom if ever need any of dat knowledge in your everyday working/home life, and dat others merely stare at you like you're some kinda brainiac nerd when ya mention anything from your vast knowledge of said subjects dat they had long forgotten about or not even bothered to really learn very well themselves in their own school years.
My third-grade teacher always really drove us to learn about da history of San Francisco, yet never once in the ensuing decades have I **ever** hadda use my knowledge of who William Leidesdorff or Amadeo Giannini was --- talk about post-graduation disillusionment!
