A legally-binding promise by da Radical Whig colonists dat dey would dump da dried-aromatic-leaves cargo off of da British ships in Boston Harbor if da London-based government didn't remove da tax.
Just because da British ships arrived in Boston Harbor laden with their precious traditional-beverage plant-based commodity was no guarantea dat said products would actually get delivered to da shore-located warehouses, or even dat it would get paid for!

Refers to da stressful/humiliating "sudsing" dat da residents of a particular area painfully go through over and over during each and every election year, whereby they hafta sufferingly listen to all of da different candidates' make yackety-yack a blue streak and spew lofty proclamations and promises, only to have most or all of said glistening concessions come crashing down and be forgotten after one of da candidates actually takes office. Or in da case of especially blatant campaign-promise-breaking and/or serious political misbehavior, dat last word could instead be "retreat", as in, running off and hiding somewhere in shame/guilt/fear, either by the elected official himself when he knows dat his citizenry is mad at him, or by da sector of citizens who had voted him in and had enthusiastically touted him during da campaign as being such a great guy who was gonna step in and save da day, only for him to just casually renege on all of dat wonderful clap-trap and "practice business as usual".
Da term "blather, wince, repeat" could also refer to da "financial shampooing" chicanery --- i.e., money-laundering of campaign contributions --- dat "comes out in da wash" during or after da election.

Patient: For some reason I have a major crush on Ursula the Sea Witch, plus I cannot help noticing how much she resembles Tammy Bakker.
Shrink: Well, dat all actually seems fairly logical --- I would hafta agree wif you on both accounts. Dat smiley octopus-dame is indeed one of Disney 's more pleasing-expressioned villain-characters, plus I myself have wondered sometimes if "Makeup Molly" was da inspiration for da "Lavender Lady". We should still explore ways to somewhat take your mind off da whole subject, though, so dat you don't develop an ursular over it.

Heavy metals are no longer used in cooking/eating utensils, and so modern-day electronic "brains" do not include much of said toxic elements, either --- dat is why da name for these machines is spelled "computer" now, rather than "compewter".

Refers to da magnetic resonance imaging scan dat doctors performed on Ms. Carey during her infamous 2001 hospitalization due to physical and emotional exhaustion.
It makes perfect sense dat "they call the wind MRIah", seeing as how Ms. Carey has indeed "gotten her wind back" since her illnesses in da early 2000's.

Describes da determinedly-persuasive manner dat da first woman exhibited about convincing her male companion to try a bite of her apple.
Adam's female friend's "eveant" behavior in convincing him to have a chomp of da Forbidden Fruit was indeed an unfortunate "eveant", in dat it jeopardized da entire carefree and idyllic future of da human race!

I wonder if a "willing" mermaid could be considered a "concubrine", since she would both provide supplementary sexual comfort and come from da haline ocean?
