I never understood why veteran actor George F. Hayes was nicknamed "Gabby", since as far as I know nobody ever made a yackusation against him, and I never recall observing dat he talked significantly more than da other actors in his films.

In the Laurel and Hardy comedy, "Saps At Sea", Dr. Finlayson informs Ollie that he is allergic to horns; perhaps an institootion might have been helpful to him, as well.

A well-to-do sex-starved opportunist who seeks out financially-insolvent individuals with low credit-scores, for the purpose of sexually propositioning them in exchange for his paying off their debts.
It is possible to turn the tables on a credophile by employing the spiritual debt-relief ploy, whereby you initially agree to his terms, but then after you have received his monetary assistance, you suddenly claim to have recently "gotten religion", and thus you feel compelled to remain celibate.

Refers to someone's seeming more likeable and/or attractive due to your having swigged a sizable quantity of anise-flavored liquor.
John: I can't believe that Joe actually took that fat scruffy bar-floozie home with him!
Jack: Well, Dude, after a few stiff drinks, practically ANY woman will look good --- "absinthece makes the heart grow fonder"!

Carefully monitoring the "level" of your pants' waistband so as not to reveal your "plumber's crack' when working in public.
"Watching the bottom line" can also refer to a bystander's lengthy observation of someone who is unknowingly "mooning the world" while engrossed in the task he's performing. Sometimes you can gain a bit of extra folding-money if you make a bet with anyone else who's with you about how long it'll be before the clueless butt-exposer either realizes his faux pas or someone else yells at him to pull his pants up.

Derisive term for a situation where a chronic moocher tries to temptingly persuade you to "just give him one very last loan" supposedly in order to enable him to accomplish whatever he needs to do in order to become able to finally pay you back all that he owes you --- and possibly a bit extra as a gratitude gesture --- in one lump sum. The idea is that he still does not even possess a real "carrot" --- i.e., any actual cold hard cash --- to offer you, but he is merely offering you the empty-talk promise of a "whole bag or carrots" --- i.e., a large one-time payment-amount that is far greater than any of the individual loans you have given him so far -- if you continue to bust your a** on his behalf. And of course, this assertion, too, is itself usually just another worthless promise, similar to all the other times when said handout-seeker has come bawling and blubbering to you for financial assistance in the past.
The local preacher tried to tell me that if I toil my butt off and live a life of strict propriety and chastity, **maybe** I will be given great rewards in Heaven. Sounds like a classic "empty carrots-bag on a stick" promise to me --- why should I suffer the agonies of an extra-hard and boring existence, especially when I am not even assured of any recognition or benefits for my efforts, anyway???
