One way to possibly avoid falling victim to a ransomwear situation would be to learn how to sew and weave; this way, any available sheet-material that's fairly flexible (such as bedding, trash bags, paper, etc.), or strips of said material or even grass could be used to construct temporary clothing till the extortionist gives up on waiting for you to pay up, after which you can then obtain replacement duds.

Refers to someone who is "kind" or "thoughtful" to someone else by spending excessive/unnecessary money on him, or by giving the person undeserved/unearned cash gifts. Often used in a sarcastic/disapproving manner, where the speaker feels that the fiscally-generous person is either just being overindulgent (like a doting gramma/grampa to a spoiled/impressionable child whose old-school/austere parents want to train the child with the "you have to earn what you spend, and good behavior should be practiced without expecting to be bought/bribed" mentality), or is trying to manipulate/pressure the "favored" individual by paying him to perform dishonest actions and/or sexual favors for the giver.
That sugar daddy is sure coin-siderate to his lady-friends, yet he won't spend a bleepin' DIME on his own kids or on donating to worthy general-assistance causes in his area.

What you eye-twinklingly say when presented wif a "cranky-conundrum" situation which others are at a loss as to how to solve, but you are able to see a way out dat involves designing/altering one or more components in a certain way.
Cool dude #1, observing his electronics-nerd best friend strolling by his job-site, and waving him over to where he's puzzling over a power-cables array: Hey, Bud --- I'm trying to figger out about wiring up this circuit, but how to hook up da control-switches has me majorly scratchin' my head. Any ideas?
Cool dude #2, after briefly tracing da wiring and pondering a moment: Oh, yeah --- I configure that out. We just need a couple of relays in addition to your existing start-and-stop switches.

Someone who "pre-approaches" a person of newsworthiness in an attempt to create positive feelings between said interesting individual and whoever is wanting to do da interviewing. Da theory is dat this preliminary action will help to "ease" da person into being in front of a camera, rather than his just having da interviewer unexpectedly show up and shockingly shove said lensed recording device squarely in his face.
Maybe there would be fewer scoop-gathering failures 'n' fiascos if more rapporters were used initially to gently introduce da skittish would-be interviewees to da concept of being on da evening news.

Erratically-spaced occurrences of "getting it on".
If you have a pleasant respectful attitude and remain reasonably healthy and physically fit as you progress through middle age, a few ladies may still be "willing", but you will likely find fewer accommodating heifers than you might have scored during your "wild 'n' virile" younger days, and so you'll likely hafta resign yourself to intermittimacy.
