Brawntosaurus

A long-necked herbivorous dinosaur dat did indeed "grow up to be big and strong from eating its vegetables".
Da Brawntosaurus may indeed be a seemingly-impressive roll-model for parents to cite when trying to get their sweet-tooth-oriented toddlers to gag down their peas and carrots, but I hear dat said ancient giraffe-statured vegetation-chomping lizard may actually have never existed, so perhaps it's less of a mystery why mentioning said chlorophyll-loving-and-therefore-muscle-bound leviathan is often so ineffective at convincing little ones to voraciously chow down on their salad.

go-to guy

An ultra-forgiving and soft-hearted dude --- often a clean-living fellow who is financially-solvent and caring/respectful to everyone, but who seldom is able to "hang on to" a lady for more than a month or two because he is somewhat naive/awkward and/or he simply lacks "hot hunk" appeal --- whom a selfish/irresponsible lady views as merely a "spare tire" --- she keeps "running back to him" over and over again each time her successive brief flings with other guys go sour... like many of the other gals who have briefly dated him, she actually gets along okay with this one particular dude most of the time --- he always treats her with kindness and respect, and he's "always there for her" and helps her out with stuff in her life. But then whenever she meets someone new, she gets all starry-eyed and flippantly brushes off the clueless guy in her eager reckless headlong dash for seemingly greener pastures, but then when the new dude gets fed up with her mindlessly-consumptive ways and/or shallow attitude and goes off in a huff again, she immediately comes bawling and blubbering back to her "original" guy in floods of penitent tears --- "How could I have ever even DREAMED of leaving you? How utterly STUPID of me... you are indeed the best thing that ever happened to me!" (Yeah, sure --- just until she meets somebody else, that is, and then here we go all over again!)
Clueless dude with his heart on his sleeve: I hate being a go-to guy for a lot of the gals I meet... I wanna be one of the "regular tires" on their car, not just the spare donut to rattle around in their trunk and then briefly slap on whenever one of their "regular tires" blows out, and then get casually tossed back into the trunk as soon as another "regular tire" comes along!

"stutter key" expense

Refers to da pesky (and invalid/unfair) extra "last-number-redial" charge dat you unintentionally incur when you try to dial "*67" to block your number from a caller-ID machine, but accidentally end up dialing "*66" because da contacts on your phone's "6" key are a bit wobbly/worn and thus falteringly "bounced" for an instant when you were pressing da key, incorrectly causing dat digit to be dialed twice.
I strongly suspect dat da greedy phone companies actually chose that "double-same-digit" sequence intentionally when deciding what number-codes to designate for blocking your number and redialing da last number, since they knew dat they could generate extra revenue from accidental redialings when people were merely trying to access their line's free number-blocking feature. Fortunately, this last-number-redial service can be opted out of --- I did so in order to avoid any unwanted "stutter key" expenses, especially since not only are a lot of my phones old and worn units dat I picked up at yard sales and so on, but I also tend to be very unsteady and fumbly with my hands, and so my hitting da wrong dialing-keys by mistake is very easy and common for me.

skoopervisor

Someone who's tasked wif making sure dat da Surgeon General is doing his job.
Even after a long series of head health honchos have come and gone in da You-Ess-Of-AY, we're still being tortured wif tobacco products and their assorted catastrophic illness effects --- where is da skoopervisor of said "triple H" official workin'???

royaltea

What you hafta pay a brewed-herbs producer each time you serve up a steaming aromatic cup of their delightful beverage.
If you don't enjoy paying royalteas, just dump all of said product overboard into Boston harbor!

Alamony

Veterans widows benefits paid to Elizabeth Patton-Crockett and other wives of the deceased patriots from the Texas Revolution massacre.
For some divorced husbands, having to pay alamony actually feels comparably painful to being killed in action at the infamous Mexican chapel.
