probubba clause

A legally-documented-but-little-known "rider bill" exception to da Fifth Amendment's warrant-obtaining requirement dat's given to Uncle Sam due to his being "Big Brother" and thus he should supposedly be privileged to snoop around anywhere/anytime he wants.

Tronald Dump wants to use da "probubba clause" doctrine to totally disregard our rights and privacy.

ass seen on TV

What they pixelize when someone moons da camera.

If you wanna actually eyeball da "ass seen on TV" moments "sans editing", you'll hafta buy da "too hot for television" tape or DVD, and sign a waiver asserting dat you're 21 or over..

rebait

A discount offered by a business or company to entice you to call or come in, so that they can then try to high-pressure-salesman you into shelling out for something more expensive.

I received an ad in the mail from a credit-card company offering me a low rate, so I phoned them to see about it. They said that the offer was no longer available, and then (unsuccessfully!) tried to pushy-talk me into signing up for a higher-interest card instead... classic rebait tactic, I guess.

Statue of Libiddy

Da disparaging term dat da freedom-and-equal-rights-opposing Osama bin Laden might have referred to sculptor Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi's greatest creation.

If Homer Simpson actually did eventually write back to his "old pen pal", he might not want to use a patriotic postage stamp for mailing da envelope to dat particular Arab male-dominance fanatic, since said prejudiced towel-head might not even wanna open a letter with a picture of da "Statue of Libiddy" affixed to it!

braking the law

Illegally slowing down.

Slapping a "Hit me --- I need the insurance money" sticker on your bumper may indeed be an uproarious action that's protected under the First Amendment, but it also might cause the fuzz to suspiciously eagle-eyeball your speed-changes to see if you're braking the law.

deducktion

Da "brilliant" realization dat you arrive at in your mind after seeing dat da object in question looks, walks, and quacks exactly like da familiar water-fowl, and so da only obvious/rational conclusion is dat said extra-oily-feathered creature is indeed what it appears to be.

It really drives me up da wall how so many government bureaucrats take a month of Mondays to make even a simple deducktion, and then they finally say, "Well, whadduh ya know --- I guess it actually IS true dat ___! Amazing!"

purrscription

A written authorization by a licensed physician for a patient/client to adopt a cat.

For some general-health therapy and overall mood-improvement, a purrscription can indeed be "just what the doctor ordered".
