Portmanteau of "guilt" and gift", this uncomplimentary term refers to the sneaky underhanded practice of doing/providing something of considerable value/importance to someone without ever having been asked to do so, and then afterwards trying to pressure the recipient of your "generosity" into doing/providing something that you want (sexual favors, monetary assistance, the use/loan of a vehicle or other costly item, recommendation for a job-promotion or other "string-pulling" on his behalf, etc.) --- "Well I did ___ for you, so surely you should be willing to grant me my wee itty-bitty little request at this point."
Guidance counselor to a weak-willed client: Don't let conniving moochers guilft-trip you into burdening yourself for them --- if you didn't ask for any of the stuff that they supplied/did for you, then you are **not* obligated to "return the favor"!

What you happily describe someone's voice as when you've been trying to reach him on the phone for a while; it's the "auditory equivalent" of what you say when you finally meet up with someone whom you've either been worried about, been waiting anxiously for, or haven't seen for a good while.
After many tries, I was finally able to speak to my buddy on da horn after his having been repeatedly in and out of da house over da past week to run some urgent/unexpected errands; his cheery and slightly-apologetic voice sure was a sound for sore ears!

Deceptively-wholesome/harmless code-term for sexual intercourse without a condom --- i.e., a hugely-enjoyable "game" (baseball, don't ya know... yeah, "fourth base"!) dat is "sociably open" to STARTING or ADDING TO a FAMILY!!
Parents beware --- anytime a starry-eyed teenage stud claims dat he just wants to engage in "family-friendly fun" wif your "little pumpkin", think twice about giving da a-okay... said request/assertion may not be nearly so innocent as it seems! :P

The movie got it all wrong --- the Banks family had not been having trouble with mean/colorless nannies; the nannies had all just been over-indulgent of the children, and so Mr. Banks hired Mary Poppins to teach his little ones about self-denial, willpower, and wise money-management --- Mary taught them to be "super-careful, frugalistic, extra-tally-conscious" when necessary.

Generic nickname for referring to an easy-to-satisfy lady with non-lofty expectations and inexpensive tastes.
Dating a "Polly Esther" may indeed be easy on both your wallet and your physical/emotional well-being, but she may also tend to be a "Plain Jane" --- i.e., not overly attractive, unrefined, "shallow", boring, etc.

Refers to where you temporarily spin your rectangular mouse-pad a fraction of a turn so that you can roll the mouse diagonally along the pad for maximum "continuous travel-distance" before having to lift the mouse and bring it back up to the top of the pad again. Useful for when you need to move the cursor farther than an entire "top to bottom" or "left to right" sweep of the screen, such as if the web-page is extra long/wide, or if you are needing to view the page with the magnifier racked up considerably.
I always set my cursor's travel-speed at maximum so that I usually don't have to move the mouse very far to navigate the entire screen-area; once in a while I have to look at a really long column of text or images (like if I'm reading a large volume of text or shopping for items on a lengthy catalog-page), though, and so I do a 1/7-turn mouse-pad rotation to minimize my having to perform "fresh-bite hops" with the mouse.
