Due to the lax safety-standards back in the early 1900's, the great silent-film comedy-star Harold Lloyd had no idea that the smoke-bomb he was holding as a prop for a movie actually contained a live explosive, and so it nearly became a sfear of death for him.

Refers to a recurring tradition of financial enhancement/replenishment that is practiced by various entities (government, landowners, etc.), generally at the expense of those least able to pay.

Contrary to popular belief, this term does NOT always describe a desirable "tight as a drum" lower torso. It can also refer to the exact opposite bodily-condition, but for very different reasons, depending on the gender of the human under discussion:
(1) Weak flabby below-the-belt muscles on a man which result from his downing too many "six packs" --- i.e., cans of beer.
(2) Equally loose saggy folds that a woman may develop "down there" if she's either had a half-dozen children in rapid succession, or makes it a full-time job to care for a whole "flock" of pint-sized charmers.

I'm not arguing with Ol' Golden Voice regarding the overall message of the early-'80's movie he stars in --- Kenny is indeed 100% correct that "love will turn you around" in some cases, but a gal may suffer "six-pack abs" if she tries for too many little ones --- either giving birth to them herself or adopting a whole flock --- too soon.

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.

What adrenaline-junkies find haunted houses, creepy movies, and other fear-inducing objects/presentations.
Some people find da Amityville Horror House to be eeriesistible, but as for me, I strongly DISlike being scared, and so I think "Ell Passo" on visiting said structure located at 112 Ocean Avenue!

Inflammatory information --- an unwelcome report, letter, set of "facts 'n' figures", etc. --- that its recipients will likely find exceptionally upsetting, frustrating, insulting, controversial, etc.
Senior vice-president: Boy, I'm not looking forward to presenting the board with this quarterly customer-satisfaction report --- it's so full of inflammamation that I seriously doubt if anyone there will be able to keep his cool.

Da fearful belief dat you'll have bad luck less'n you promptly employ da ol' needle-and-thread to repair your clothing, such as to patch a hole, lace up a tear, or re-attach a button.
It's merely a superstitchion, of course, dat something awful will happen if you don't stay diligent wif your fabric-mending skills, but it is indeed a good idea to carry a sewing-kit wif you so dat you can keep your duds in good shape... remember, "A stitch in time saves nine."
