You don't hafta BREAK DA WALL DOWN to get inside!

What you eye-twinklingly tell one or more workmen who are hammering/prying away siding and/or timbers on a home or business in preparation to making repairs/renovations.
Anytime I come upon contractors doing outside carpentry work at a home or place of business along da main street downtown, I love jokingly saying to them, "You know, guys --- there IS da FRONT DOOR, if you wanna get in so badly! You could just open da door and walk through; you don't hafta BREAK DA WALL DOWN to get inside!" I usually get an equally-smart-alecky reply from them, as well, such as, "Oh, we know that, but we wanna be more subtle about our entry!", or "Yeah, we could, but this way is more fun!"

pursnickety

Ebeneezer Scrooge was so pursnickety that he would endanger his own health and safety ("Cold and darkness are free; I love them! Saves on coal and candle-wax!") just to avoid spending a few farthings.

graphiti

Invalid/misleading squiggle-lines on grid-square paper. :P
Big-wig developers and politicians love to show glowingly-optimistic predictions of their proposed "progress" or "developments" on their big easel-boards, but most of da time it's just a lot of dishonest graphiti!

NineEx family

Da infamous '80's-and-'90's-era northeastern-United-States mega-biz in wired communications dat had "scored a perfect ten" as far as da "number" of company-names dat it had "dialed up" (i.e., acquired) --- and then often "slammed down da receiver on" (i.e., tossed away again) --- over da decades.
Well, da 1984 radio-ad did indeed actually state dat "The Bell System is breaking up", so maybe their calling themselves da "NineEx family" isn't such a "phony" name, after all; I imagine dat da "book" of their "call history" --- i.e., past corporate-affiliation evolution --- contains a lot of "yeller pages", in dat many of da corporations dat they had previously "hung up on" were quite loudly opposed to said "disconnections"!

Any pervious convictions?

What an authority figure asks you to determine whether your criminal history includes any sexually-shocking misdeeds.
Maybe if Peeping Tom had been asked, "Any pervious convictions?" prior to his being allowed to occupy his house when da birthday-suited Lady Godiva went by, he might not have gotten his desired eyeful of said self-sacrificing damsel's nude loveliness, after all.

injewry

A legal grievance dat you claim was caused by someone of Hebrew origin.
In da Shakespeare comedy-play, "Merchant of Venice", Shylock blubberingly protested dat Antonio owed him a pound of flesh, but when all was said and done, it was actually said conniving and greedy loan shark who himself ended up with da major "injewry", in dat he was obliged to donate most of his ill-gotten assets to da poorer-but-more-honest folks in da story.
