reaperduction 

A "false profit" --- I mean, "prophet" --- who goes around impersonating "Da Grim One" in an effort to con hapless believers into converting to his religion, giving him what he wants, etc.
Warren Jeffs was an infamous example of a "reaperduction" in dat he went around spouting "doom 'n' gloom" sermons in order to unreasonably force his followers to bow to his will and do his bidding.

Gullible's Travels 

What Jonathon Swift's "pygmies and giants" book should really be named, since you'd have to be outrageously naive to actually believe any of the crap that he relates.
If it would be possible to find someone who genuinely thought that the "Gullible's Travels" book was based on true events, you could likely also get him to swallow two additional "fanfic" chapters wherein the book's narrator also was able to assume ownership of the Brooklyn Bridge and establish a homestead in the Florida swamplands.

an eye for an aye 

What an experienced/observant stud supposedly possesses when it comes to spotting "willing" ladies.
Some overly-confident guys think that they have "an eye for an aye" when they go out seeking gals with whom to get laid, but determining which chicks are actually that quick/casual about spreading their legs is usually quite a bit more difficult than that.

hireoglyphics 

What da absurdly-complex questions on a job-application form might as well be for any ordinary person to "decipher".
I've occasionally been derisively upbraided about my inherent difficulty in obtaining employment ("You don't even know how to fill out a job application!"), yet whenever I snortingly retort, "Okay, well, if YOU'RE so smart and capable" and then ask said criticizing/ridiculing individuals to assist me with said writing task, they themselves are often unable to figger out da hireoglyphics on da forms, either!

Fellow individuals who inhale/exhale loudly.
If something/someone disgusts or discourages you to the point of emitting loud sighs, it can help to have nearby breathren to "confirmingly" wheeze, also, and thus make you not feel like you're the only one who's less than pleased by the present situation.

stewdent 

A pupil in a cooking class who's learning how to whip up tasty chopped-beef-and-veggies dishes.
A gourmet chef was famously asked by one of his admiring stewdents how he always created such "good food"; his oft-quoted reply was, "Start with GOOD INGREDIENTS."

perillel 

A "similar in one or more respects" connection between two separate hazardous situations, dangerous statuses, etc.
Dealing with "spoiled rich kid" individuals has many perillels to raising venomous snakes --- in both cases, you run a great risk of getting "bitten".
