Listenedane 

Sister city to da "talkative" eastern-Washington metropolis on I-90; people who reside hear --- I mean, HERE --- use their ears a lot more than their mouths.
If you like to blab incessantly to anyone within earshot, da city of Listenedane might be for you. Just make sure dat what you have to say is truly of merit and/or interest, though, 'cuz I hear dat da townspeople there are really good at "invisibly" wearing earplugs.

notorioty 

Da less-than-savory reputation of going around stirring up discontent among either da employees of a place of business or da citizenry of a particular locale.
Folks like Ralph Nader, Preston Tucker, Susan B. Anthony, and Elizabeth Cady Stanton gained notorioty at da time when they were most active, and so many of their contemporaries didn't care for them or what they were doing. But then later we all are thankful to them for bringing about positive change in safety, human rights, and so on.

Biden his time 

What good ol' Joseph Robinette Jr. has been doing for da past decades, knowing dat he'd likely be Prez someday.
Maybe one can't criticize da famed Joey Robbie for "Biden his time" with high hopes for his political career --- I mean, heck --- just recently he was already second-in-command to Obama bin Laden, so it was hardly a stretch for him to think dat he might make top dog in a few years if he played his cards right.

Yeah, yeah, yeah --- obsessive compulsive... 

What you sneeringly snort to everyone watching while you super-precisely perform an ordinary task, check/measure something extra-carefully, salvage da last drops/flakes/globs of a semi-valuable product, etc.
Low-income-but-financially-solvent dude, speaking to an amused gal whose car he's changing da oil in, and letting each bottle of oil drain into da engine's filler-neck for ten minutes before tossing da bottle in da trash can: "Yeah, yeah, yeah --- obsessive compulsive... but you know how I hate to waste anything, plus of course, YOU'RE da one who's paying all da costs of this oil-change, so naturally I wanna be all da more conservative and efficient wif salvaging all of da $3.99-per-quart oil dat I can!"

whiz kid 

A smart-alecky youngster who is always needing to "drain his radiator".
Whiz kids are supposed to be brilliant and talented; makes me wonder, therefore, if they are actually able to attain such exceptional bladder-control dat they can feel da need to pee whenever they choose, rather than merely letting Mother Nature decide when it's "time to go"?

Robinson Caruso 

Da famous shipwrecked sailor who went on to become an equally-famous opera singer.
I wonder if all of da "crude but super-nutritious" harvested-from-da-wild food dat Robinson Caruso dined upon during his long years on da deserted island was what boosted his health to da point dat he could sing so beautifully once he'd been rescued and gotten back to civilization?

cowardenates 

Da GPS-locale numerals of where yer spineless probation-officer is at da moment.
I get time off my parole for always showing up promptly at my weekly progress-check-in meetings, so I always call an hour beforehand to ask my wimpy-a**ed case-worker for his present cowardenates, since many times HE forgets about da "where, when, and what" regarding da stuff dat HE'S supposed to be doing, and so I MYSELF am often obliged to remind HIM of our scheduled appointments, and then go rushing all around da county to link up wif him so dat we can go over my past week's life-improvement activities and he can sign off on my paperwork!
