Besides the "classic" musical-notes connotation, this phrase can also refer to either:
(1) Something you definitely don't wanna have in your car if you get pulled over. About the only exception, of course, would be if you're merely transporting empty gin-bottles to the redemption center; if this is the case, however, you will want to thoroughly drain and then neatly bag up said containers, and also either snugly cross-tie the bags' mouths or seal them with string or wire-twists so that (A) not much alcohol-fumes will escape to invalidly create a telltale fermented-beverage smell at your driver's door window, and (B) the officer can see that you weren't sipping from any of the containers yourself.
(2) The "wide latitude of interpretation" that the "right to remain silent" amendment is often subject to.

"I am hauling empty gin-bottles to the redemption center" is hardly an incriminating statement under most circumstances, so there should be no problem with any "open fifths", since conceivably you would have no need to remain silent if a policeman asks what's with all the bags of liquor-bottles in your back seat or trunk.

1. Where you spend money to get out of a cranky situation.
2. Where you use logic and/or creativity to get around having to purchase something.

Not everyone can afford to just "buypass" an unfortunate debacle; less-affluent folks may need to put their brains to work to figure out ways to buypass the actual/potential pitfalls --- i.e., get out of the situation "for free".

Refers to the first recorded act of scandalous political misbehavior committed by an American government official; it involved George Washington and a hatchet.
The tale about "little Georgie" and his hatchet is actually a myth, but is makes a good story, nonetheless. It is known, however, that Washington was guilty of far more "treesonous" acts (like mistreating his slaves and wrongfully jailing farmers) than merely being irresponsible with his lumberjack skills.

What the printed plastic sign actually reads when you purchase it at the hardware/department store; this truly represents what many of the typical household-surplus provenders are attempting to pawn off on others over the weekend. Prior to posting the sign, people have to make a neat horizontal cut underneath the "r", and two vertical cuts --- one between the "r" and the "b", and the other between the "s" and the "t" --- and then slide the two halves of the sign together one letter's width to cover those two pesky "revealing letters" and form a new (and deceitful!) message.
Be on the lookout for staples and tape holding the "garbage stale" sign together, if you want to determine what those sidewalk-shysters are **really** selling.

A "clip 'n' save" slip of paper for a local restaurant dat entitles you to a free or discounted upgrade in da mustard-sauce included wif your meal.
Financially-solvent dude: I really appreciate how Tiffany always orders just bargain-basement fare whenever we go out to eat; she never asks for fancy seasonings unless I have a poupon coupon for said meal.

In Arthur Ransome's "Swallows and Amazons" book, all of da children were experienced boat-operators, but since Roger Walker was only seven, he might have still needed at least some sloopervision from his older siblings or one of da Blackett sisters, especially if da weather on da lake was a bit blustery.

Best advice to keep a REST room from becoming an ARREST room --- just don't take chances by performing suspicious-looking activities while loading yourself up with merchandise from a store's shelves... put all your items in a shopping-basket or cart and leave said receptacle OUTSIDE da door of da crapper-cubicle, okaaayyyyy??? If yer worried about people's stealing your stuff, ask an accompanying friend or a security-guard to watch your basket, or leave it at da courtesy-desk or behind da cashier's counter till you get through takin' yer whiz/dump, then retrieve your load of treasures and continue shopping.
