Refers to the playful "pretend assistive" action of raising someone's ankles up off the bed/couch in an apparent effort to aid him in standing back up ("Okay, your feet are up so far; you can lift more of yourself up now!"), but in reality you are effectively **preventing** him from standing up, since he would need to have his legs **lower** than his head and torso in order to be able to sit up and get to his feet. :P
Employing da "helpful" legs-lift is a good way of sarcastically conveying to a huge-a** lazy-bones who has groaningly asked for your assistance in rising dat he is obviously much too big/bulky/heavy for a much-smaller/lighter/weaker person like you to actually lift to his feet, and dat he will therefore need to just clamber back up under his OWN steam.

To refuse to take no for an answer when requesting a loan/handout from others (i.e., asking them to "open their purses").
I have totally given up on "loaning" money to the local moochers ('cuz they seldom pay me back --- duhhh), but some of them are surely purseistent in continuing to ask me, anyway.

Billy Flynn claimed dat da crowd wouldn't be able to "hear da truth above da roar"; maybe he was thinking about said loud/deep intonations coming from LEO the Lyin', since it's widely known dat "LEO" --- acronym for "law enforcement officer" --- members are known to "fib freely" in order to extract information and/or confessions from people.

Money; especially, money that others are eyeing "hungrily" or are wishing that the owner would share more freely.
Girl #1: So what's your new guy like?
Girl #2: Oh, just your average typical pig --- generous with his sausage but stingy with his bacon!

Refers to da substitute-for-grumbling-at-a delay vocal action dat you engage in while unexpectedly/unavoidably having to wait for something basic or mundane to occur, such as for equipment to warm up, someone to answer da phone, a web-page to load on an internet-computer, etc. Great for when you're either babysitting children (for whom soft singing is often an effectively-calming/soothing way of "placating them for a few" till a desired action/event can happen) or presently have one or more adult-colleagues there who need certain actions and/or information-locating performed on their behalf, and so you are sympathetically showing them dat you hate having to be held up, as well, just da same as they do.
Everyone loves da catchy "Alex Trebek waiting for da contestants to think of an answer" melody, so performing a round of "Jeopardy!" theme humming-on-hold can work wonders to make everyone feel less grumpy/impatient at having to take a little longer than normal for something they want to happen.

What you do to remindingly indicate to someone dat you're patiently waiting for him to tell you an answer, finish up with something, etc.
You hafta be careful about employing da "Jeopardy!" theme humming-on-hold technique to gently pressure someone to get his a** in gear and be forthcoming with whatever action he's supposed to be doing for you --- some people really enjoy said catchy tune, and so your melodiously warbling it might actually SLOW HIM DOWN because he loves listening to it so much; heck, you might even PUT HIM TO SLEEP if you softly vocalize said soothing melody for too long a time! :P
