a lotterysons

Many "'why?' replies" regarding scratch-off tickets.
I am more susceptible to outside influences than many folks, so there are a lotterysons dat I avoid checkout counters dat are stocked with rolls of colorful shiny tempting removable-paint-dots cards.

Persiacution

What da residents of Iran accuse various warmongering countries of committing against them.
If da Tehran-capitaled nation hadn't been subjected to so much Persiacution over da decades, a lot of unfortunate events (such as da infamous "triple-fours-day-long" hostage crisis and da war with Iraq) might never have occurred.

Being less familiar wif "common man" objects, speech-expressions, entertainment, etc. due to one's having a more "high-toned, high society" lifestyle.
Long-term Boston-Pops-concert announcer William Pierce evidently had such major sophisticated-life naiveté dat he actually didn't know how to properly say da last word in da title of da third "Star Wars" movie --- he incorrectly pronounced it "Jaydee" several times when announcing dat da famous Massachusetts-Bay-area orchestra was gonna perform one or more selections from it, then later made a seldom-heard "correction of a previous statement" aside-announcement to da radio-audience: "I was just now informed that I had incorrectly identified the movie title --- it's supposed to be pronounced, 'JED-EYE'." So I'm guessing dat da "venerable Billy P." had spent da majority of his days ensconced in da elite-and-upper-class world of classical music and elegant concerts, and so HE'D had little time for --- or interest in --- da "everyday man's" science-fiction crap!

BAR Association

An elite "members only"group of corrupt alcoholic lawyers who frequent the local bars and are so criminally-minded that they should all be "behind bars".
If an attorney tries to be too honest, he likely gets BARRED from the BAR Association --- how convoluted is THAT???

one-weigh valve

Sarcastic reference to da "checks in but doesn't check out" performance of unwanted body-mass dat many folks experience, especially those with low metabolism and/or edema or other medical conditions dat hinder da efficient processing of carbs, salt, and glucose.
Many highly-advertised waistline-reducing diets may not only be ineffective, but they can really be a "one-weigh valve" for your MONEY, as well, in that you just keep spending more and more over long periods of time in an effort to drop the poundage, while never really getting all that much in the way of noticeably-positive results.

bottomless pitt

Refers to da unlimited spending-possibilities dat exist for procuring "Handsome Brad" merchandise, such as movies-on-disc, t-shirts and other clothing, publications, portrait-branded foods and other consumer-products, etc.
Several excited movie-star fans have tried to convince me to invest in celebrity-themed collectables, but I've always told them that it's just a bottomless pitt.

preveil

To successfully continue wearing a face-covering despite da protests of others.
Da Duchess in "Alice In Wonderland" was so incredibly ugly da few people would even want to look at her face to begin with, and so she would likely have little problem preveiling on others to keep said hideous visage shielded from public view!
