Even though everyone knows that the book "Jane Eyre" has been around for over 150 years, there are still a lot of Charlottans around who claim to be the author.

Refers to a ceremony performed on a variety of occasions, such as:
(1) When someone remembers to "bring in the old device" (i.e., battery, starter, alternator, etc.) to exchange at an auto-parts store and thus avoid the core-charge when purchasing a new one (in this instance, it is often spelled "coreonation").
(2) When someone receives a promotion, gets married, etc, and so everyone present cracks open da ol' lime-wedge-spiked bottles of Corona Lite.
(3) A trepidatious "newbie" welder has managed to strike his first arc, and so everyone around him is having an impromptu celebration of the lovely brilliant-blue "corona" that he successfully created.

I watched an old documentary of Princess Di's coronation, but I was surprised to see that not one of the many attendees appeared to be actually drinking any bottles of "frothy'n' lime" --- what's up with that???

Da nationality of Asian folks who practice da custom of respectfully "getting 50% down" --- i.e., bending your legs at da first joint, so dat you're halfway between standing and sitting on da ground.
I find dat emulating da Chiknees is rather awkward and physically demanding; a 45-degree bow, tip/doff of my hat, or a solemn handshake is more my style when reverently greeting someone.

A law dat states dat during periods of water-rationing, you may still perform moisture-related preparation/manufacturing in da wee hours of da morning, provided dat you only use naturally-occurring condensation on cooled outdoor objects.
"Right to dew process" could also refer to legislation dat permits you to imbibe cloyingly-sweet soda from a green plastic bottle while performing preparation/manufacturing-related tasks.

Refers to where someone checks someone else's chest-pillows to determine if da person being examined is actually female or not.
Performing ma'ammograms could indeed conceivably be a way to acceptably get to touch "The Merchandise" on lots of hot chicks; da problem is dat conceivably you would only be permitted a brief handling of each person, and then you'd be expected to move on to da next person, so you'd never really get ca opportunity to satisfyingly "feel up the goods" of any particular person all dat much.

I think dat da big guy over there who ate three huge helpings of spiced cabbage and baked beans is da prrrrppppetrator!

A legislation dat prevents seed or live-plant vendors from denying your customer-dissatisfaction claim merely because you used your own mulch instead of theirs.
Before da Sphagnumson Moss Warranty Act has been passed, it was prohibitively expensive for many folks to do small-scale gardening, since they'd been obliged to purchase both their seedlings and mulch from da same vendor.
