Can refer to either of two similarly-"weighty" definitions:
(1) Any complicated/intricate strategy --- such as using disappearing ink, light-sensitive/chemically-treated "disintegrating" paper that quickly becomes illegible, the addition/insertion of one or more confusing/misleading codes, etc --- that heavily "drags down" anyone's attempts to read/decipher an encryption.
(2) The amalgam of minerals used to make a special stone vault for human-burial purposes.

Our founding fathers surely doled out huge healthy doses of cryptonite in their efforts to prevent thieves from locating/accessing their "national treasure"; fortunately Benjamin Gates and his intrepid colleagues managed to de-code everything in time to prevent said treasure from falling into the wrong hands.

Get the cryptonite mug.A creative method of scavenging for discarded returnable beverage-containers along the road; it involves starting out from your house and walking along one side of the road and throwing any returnables that you find on that side across the road to the other side, so that you can then collect all the returnables from both sides of the road on your way back again; this eliminates your having to carry any heavy bags of containers "the wrong way", i.e., in the opposite direction from your home, where you want to transport all the containers for processing and bagging up for the redemption center.
Toss-across collecting is a great way to save time and effort when scavenging for discarded empties; just don't toss glass containers, though, since they can easily shatter if they land on a rock or sizeable stone. Also, put some water or a small pebble inside the super-lightweight plastic bottles, so that they will be heavy enough to sail all the way across the road, especially if there's a breeze blowing in the opposite direction.

Get the toss-across collecting mug.What you say when someone else asks for your help with a so-called "emergency". While this response may indeed be fully valid/appropriate in cases where the asker is unreasonably seeking assistance and/or should be seeking said assistance elsewhere, it unfortunately can also be abused, wherein the speaker may be wrongfully denying the asker reasonable or "Golden Rule" help --- in other words, the same type/degree of assistance that HE HIMSELF would logically expect from others if HE had a similar unexpected crisis in his OWN life.
Stranded motorist: Thanks so much for coming out in the rain to give me a jump-start, Buddy! Bless your heart!
Redneck hippie in an ancient Ford F-150: No problemmo, Dude --- it's only what I'd want myself if I was in this same situation. I'm just sorry you walked all that distance to ask me for help... there's a fairly well-off family who lives a good quarter-mile nearer here than I do, and they have several nice vehicles that they could have helped you with.
Motorist: Yeah, well I actually DID ask there, and the smooth-skinned older hombre who came to the door with a TV-remote in his hand just told me curtly, "It's not my problem --- you should have remembered to turn off your headlights."
Redneck: Really?!?? Well, that totally SUX --- I guess HE'S just never had any problems like this, and so he doesn't know that errors like that can happen to anyone!

Get the It's not my problem mug.Da coating of ejected fluids and/or solids dat are deposited after an eruption of some kind; can also refer to a chunk or particle of said effluent-film dat you break off and save to remember said explosive release by.
After Mount Saint Helens blew its top in 1980, da entire surrounding area was covered with a thick layer of spewveneer. Da destruction and death-toll from said eruption was so severe and grim, though, dat I dunno if anyone would really wanna take a piece of said tephra home to remember it by, though!

Get the infurriating mug.The notorious 18th-century womanizing dandy whose chief means of impressing the ladies was to give them guided tours of his huge and fancy stone fortress.
Helen of Troy may indeed have had a "face that launched a thousand ships", but Castlenova's personal charm and the grandeur of his palace is known to have attracted nigh-onto-a-thousand Helen-faced damsels, so I dunno which legendary subject is more impressive overall.
