royaltee

Da handsome "shilling a hole" winner's pot dat Goldfinger hoped to gain by playing his "fixed" golf-game wif James Bond.

Goldfinger may indeed "own da club" himself, but I invented da wooden ball-perches dat they used for da games, so he should pay me a royaltee for each putt.

consPearycy

Da collusion to deceive dat da famous (or infamous, depending on who's judging!) NCEC rear-admiral and his colleagues are often accused of regarding whether they actually did reach da North Pole as he claimed.

There's no honor among Thebes

What detractors say to discredit the ancient Egyptians. In reality, the citizens of that area were little different statistically from folks elsewhere in the world at the time... there were the nice ones, and then there were the not-so nice ones.

Anybody who believes that there's no honor among Thebes hasn't read the history books --- it was a typical "mixed bag" of people, just like with civilizations everywhere.

unjust enrichmond

Refers to da invalidly-acquired proceeds of flimflamming da casinos located in Virginia's capital city into paying out a whole truckload of moolah dat you didn't actually win.

While it's true dat da infamous "cheating Vegas" swindler Dennis Nikrasch performed most of his shenanigans in Nevada rather than Virginia, da millions in undeserved assets dat he dishonestly reaped could still be considered "unjust enrichmond", no matter what geographical area he obtained said ill-gotten gains from.
