An unfair-to-the-customer motivation that money-hungry banks have to maintain someone's having to make payments on a loan for as long as possible.
I borrowed a thousand dollars from a local credit-union so that I could pay some local tradespeople to perform much-needed repairs on my home and vehicle. But then as it turned out, these "over-booked with repair-jobs" folks were not able to get to my repairs as soon as they'd expected, and so I didn't need the loaned money nearly so soon as I'd thought I would; I realized that I'd likely be able to pay the carpenters and mechanics "on my own" just with extra-frugality-saved funds over the next few months. So I merely returned the thousand dollars to the credit union within just two or three months after I'd taken out the loan; the clerk seemed none to pleased, since they'd only made about 22 bucks extra in the deal, instead of maybe close to a hundred if I'd taken a year to pay it all back, the way they had expected me to. Guess there was a little conflict of interest there.

Refers to a friendship wherein one or both parties possess highly-desirable "benefits" (i.e., a hot trim bod, large boobs/cock, a cute ass, etc.) which the other partner greatly enjoys. Can also be used sarcastically by a third party to express his belief that one of the friends is merely a selfish moocher who just likes to "benefit" from the other person's "benefits" (i.e., regularly-doled-out monetary assistance from the state and/or federal government, such as SSI/Food Stamps, pension, etc.) which he is willing to share with the gold-digger in exchange for intimate companionship.
Disgusted neighborhood gramma: That young chick Susie claims that she loves the much-older-and-wheelchair-bound John to pieces and views him as a father-figure, but I know what a lazy nature and absurd sense of entitlement she has, so I suspect that she views the relationship as merely "friends with benefits", since John gets a nice tidy disability check each month, and so he is able to "wine 'n' dine her" and buy her stuff she wants!

I am not at all sure that the Phallustines existed merely in ancient times --- there seem to be plenty of "pricks" in the modern-day world, as well.

A region of the Middle East where male nudity is permitted, and most dudes are real "dicks" when it comes to social interaction.
According to a map of the world showing the average penis-sizes of males in the different countries, guys in the Phallustine area have medium-size schlongs, whereas the love-pipes of the dudes in neighboring Lebanon are some of the largest in the world, so I wonder if the two groups are in a heated "mine is bigger than yours" competition, which might explain why many of them always go around with their "downstairs equipment" hanging out in plain view, and also why everyone seems to hate each other over there.

If I walk around naked, then potential muggers can see that I don't have anything of value with me, and so I should be a lot safer in Menacesota.

Why would the pre-WW2 von Trapp family wanna flee to JAPAN, of all places? Seems like they'd be safer in neutral Switzerland than as fujitives!

Open-ocean service can indeed be a great career for many people, but if you get seasick easily or are unsteady on yer feet, you might not be able to endure even one deckaide!
