chickanery

Using attractive females to do your dirty work and deceive others.

Professional or "career" criminals often employ innocent-looking damsels to either do some of the actual stealing for them or merely "case the joint" (i.e., scope out a prospective place of business that they plan to rob), because sweet-faced ladies are automatically less scrutinized or viewed with suspicion than their make counterparts. Big Tobacco had also used chickanery for decades by showing photos of attractive women smoking in their advertisements for their coffin-nails, just as was done with comparably-dangerous wares like alcoholic beverages and shoddy vehicles.

harassment by unwelcome advertisement

The legal name for the "moderate misdemeanor"-level crime of causing someone to be deluged with junk mail. Often performed by a disgruntled acquaintance of said individual as a way of getting even with the person for a perceived wrongdoing, and usually accomplished by "anonymously" contacting multitudes of businesses/organizations by phone/fax/email and/or responding to paper/internet junk-mail ads that you yourself receive by filling out the advertisers' response-forms in your victim's name, so that he will soon begin receiving tons of useless crap in his mailbox and/or e-mail account, receiving innumerable telemarketing/sales-calls, getting loads of junk-faxes (which of course will create the added headache/expense of his having to buy more paper and ink for his machine from its dutifully printing out all those useless ads!), having salespeople knocking at his door at all hours, etc.

Another sometimes-effective/successful use for harassment by unwelcome advertisement is to pressure the "targeted" person to do something you want (think, the hilariously-infamous "Taliban Hotline" animated cartoon); extra points if you also choose the types of advertisers --- and your method of sending the ad-responses --- strategically, so as to inflict maximum discomfort/humiliation on your victim, such as requesting info/offers from controversial and/or "spicy" organizations like the KKK or "adult" product/literature producers, and sending some of the requests via post card instead of discretely-concealing envelopes, so that every Tom, Dick, and Harry in the postal system is made shockingly aware that this person is apparently interested in these questionable/controversial services.

introducktion

Da formalities dat Donald and Daisy would exchange when they first met.

I hadda attend a long boring business-meeting where a lot of different people were telling each other their names and positions in da company; da only fun I had was afterwards, when I was able to play da audio-tape of said meeting at 2-times normal speed to make everyone's voices sound like nasally quacking; dat way I could giggle at everyone's "introducktions".

conshootulary

In "Another Fine Mess", Colonel Buckshot summons da town's entire conshootulary to his doorstep to help deal with Laurel and Hardy, but for all their energetic rushing about and noisy voluminous pistol-blasting, da only things they end up doing is making total jackasses of themselves and then getting their uniforms ripped off due to a passing subway-train.
