Refers to bribing someone with a piece of heavenly-tasting candy as an incentive/reward for tackling a difficult job.
I suppose dat for someone with a sweet tooth, it might indeed be true that "Werther's a will, there's a way". I'm not into candy all dat much myself, though, so for me, I'd much prefer da promise of just a generous swallow of "da milk of human kindness", such as being heaped with praise and gratitude and/or being showered with hugs and kisses.

Anytime a website asks for "age verification" by requesting my credit-card information, I just click out of the page... it's just another potential way for fraudsters to drain my assets or commit identity theft.

Da government body dat makes sure you will observe your town's "hose-heroes" arrive expediently at your local bank if a conflagration of any kind happens to start, so dat your deposited money will be safe from getting burned up.
If my bank is "member F.D. I See, equal housing lender", does that mean that my home is protected from flames, as well, if I put my saving in that bank?

Ur unenviable status if u pee anywhere other than in da bowl. And it works like baseball, as well --- da first time u "miss", **urine** big trouble. Da second time you errantly tinkle, **uron** probation, and da third time, "urout", which iz da opposite of "urine".
It's often grounds for ur not being invited back to someone's home if u clumsily mis-direct da "golden shower" elsewhere from its intended "target" while using the neighbor's WC --- usually urine big trouble for your errant tinkling, unless of course u can prove extenuating circumstances (being startled by a sudden/loud noise while peeing, having someone turn off da bathroom light, etc.) while u were taking said whiz and thus acceptably/legitimately shift da "aim blame" somewhere else, in which case, "uroff" da hook on dat occasion.

What an anxious/impatient youngster would logically want to know in instances when his parent promises a certain action/food/relief/entertainment "in two shakes of a lamb's tail".
Cranky child: "Are we there yet?!"
Parent driving (cheerfully): "Oh, no worries --- we'll be there in two shakes of a lamb's tail!"
Cranky child: "But how often does the lamb shake its tail?! Oh, sure --- a NORMAL AND ALERT lamb probably "flutters its little stumpy thing" quite regularly, but if the lamb is asleep or not feeling chipper, its behind-flipper might not move much at all, and so it might take HOURS for it to jiggle even ONCE, let alone TWICE!"

One should always perform a careful prelimbinary inspection before attempting to climb a tree. Special scrutiny should be given to da Ugly Tree, of course, since said large leafy organism is notorious for having intrepid trunk-scalers lose their grip when nearing da top and come "multi-thuddingly" tumbling back down again.
