Someone who ostensibly is there to help you, but ends up being more of a pain-in-the-you-know-what than a benefit.
Parents need to learn to "back off" sometimes and let their children make their own choices when it would safe/moral to do so; said well-meaning adults don't want to be viewed by their offspring as tor-mentors.

A separate and highly-effective-but-street-illegal nitrous-oxide valve dat really puts some ZIP in yer car's performance.
If you use an AUXILIARATOR in conjunction with your ACCELERATOR, you may indeed experience EXHILARATION from your vehicle's awesome ACCELERATION, but you will also stand an ACCELERATED chance of getting pulled over for speeding and/or reckless driving! Best to instead reserve said speed-demon shenanigans for da drag-strip!

I resent being needlessly told what to do, and many legal stipulations are not based on common sense or reality, and so you wouldn't ever catch me saying anything particularly lawdatory!

Refers to the astonished stare that you assume when taste-testing two or more brands of a particular supermarket-offering and unexpectedly discover that you actually **prefer** the lower-priced store-brand (which traditionally would be expected to have a "weaker 'n' thinner" flavor/texture), rather than a costlier "big name" product.
Being on SSI and Food Stamps and thus having a very-limited budget, I am used to just buying the "el-cheapo" store-brand of groceries whenever I can stand their usually-milder-tasting flavors. Occasionally I do "splurge" and buy the pricier "fancy-pants" foods, though, when the taste is dramatically better, such as Nutella hazelnut spread or Armour Vienna sausage. One startling exception to this latter condition, though, was in the case of Dinty-Moore beef stew as opposed to just the Great Value brand... I bought a can of DM just to try it out in comparison to the WalMart brand, and I had a total case of generic-grocery gawk --- the Dinty-Moore brand was absolutely a-w-f-u-l, whereas the richly-tasty Great Value stew won hands-down! Boy, ya never know till ya try it, do ya???

Ironic and somber-faced jest used to temporarily make light of a serious matter, situation, or topic, in order to help everyone involved to maintain his sanity and composure about it.
Concerned citizen #1: Well, if the nuke-plant does blow its top and blankets everything for 1000 square miles with glowing radioactive fallout, at least it'll save on batteries --- we won't need flashlights to see at night.
Concerned citizen #2: Yup, that thought's a case of grim grins, all right!

Cheap/surplus "fillers 'n' extenders" crap (think, water or soybean-cellulose) that money-hungry manufacturers add to "bulk up" the processed-food garbage they sell, without actually adding much if any nutritional value.
Before I buy any groceries other than just basic/simple staple-items like fruits/vegetables or plain cereal, I always check da info on da side or back of da package to see if da product contains any ingreedyents.

A "John Q. Public" figure with a mind dat allows thoughts and good sense to just "filter on through" without making much impression oh his actions or overall behavior.
In one episode of da TV comedy "Sister Sister", Ray is in da middle of chastising Tamera, notices dat she isn't paying any attention, and irritably inquires, "WHY do I get da feeling dat everything I say is goin' IN ONE EAR AND OUT DA OTHER?!". The camera pans to Tamera contemptuously daydreaming while Ray's suddenly-visible dialogue (in da form of a long "tickertaping" strip of white letters) goes slithering effortlessly in her left ear and out her right; she's a classic example of a seiveillian.
