Stromboli Thurmond

Da infamously-white-biased "puppet on a string" of mid-20th-century politics.

If Stromboli Thurmond was mean to Pinocchio, does this indicate dat he was prejudiced against wooden marionettes, favoring real live people instead?

metal fatigue

Da achy weariness dat you feel after extended periods of "pumping iron".

Cool dude, speaking comfortingly to his gloomily-slumped weight-lifting buddy who is feeling inadequate and guilty for "running out of steam" sooner than he thought he should while working out at the gym: "Don't knock yourself around too hard, Pal --- even da great 'Ahhnold' would get metal fatigue from bench-pressing for too long at a time."

assylum

What Donkey sought from Shrek when they first met.

After everyone's favorite imperturbable and fast-talking cousin-of-da-horse animated character came to live with everyone's favorite green-skinned-and-funnel-eared ogre, da latter's residence became less of an "assylum", in dat said formerly-irritable behemoth learned not to be such a contemptuous jerk, and then also later gained da love of his female equivalent, who --- judging by how many little ones they ended up creating --- gave him plenty of you-know-what herself.

fifth base

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!

hissterical

How Indy always feels when he's surrounded by venomous snakes.

Indy had to fight down his hissterical feelings when entering the Well of the Souls to find the Lost Ark.

cryptonite

Can refer to either of two similarly-"weighty" definitions:
(1) Any complicated/intricate strategy --- such as using disappearing ink, light-sensitive/chemically-treated "disintegrating" paper that quickly becomes illegible, the addition/insertion of one or more confusing/misleading codes, etc --- that heavily "drags down" anyone's attempts to read/decipher an encryption.
(2) The amalgam of minerals used to make a special stone vault for human-burial purposes.

Our founding fathers surely doled out huge healthy doses of cryptonite in their efforts to prevent thieves from locating/accessing their "national treasure"; fortunately Benjamin Gates and his intrepid colleagues managed to de-code everything in time to prevent said treasure from falling into the wrong hands.

hexpectations

Da dire/gory hoped-for results of sticking pins into a voodoo doll, burning a candle with the mark's name on it, or carving a face on a tree and pounding a nail into the tree.

Dabbling in black magic is dangerous, regardless of one's hexpectations!
