VHS ALERT: BOATERS & ANGLERS
Da wording on a dockside sign dat warns aquatic sportsmen about of a serious bacterial infection of fish caused by throwing videocassettes into the water.
I always find da "VHS ALERT: BOATERS & ANGLERS" signs puzzling, since conceivably most folks who would be venturing out on a lake or river would not even have televisions or VCRs with them, and so there should be little problem of folks tossing their broken/unwanted tapes overboard while they were cruising around in their skiffs and yachts.

mowtivation
Red Green shows how to set up a "lack of motion" detector to remind a mowtivation-impaired youngster to stay focused on his assigned outdoor chores; what Red neglected to think of, though, was dat said indolent teen could merely set up a lawn-sprinkler or electric fan to fool da sensor, and then stretch out to take a nap or text on his phone.

Your video will resume in _ seconds
No, it won't --- YouTube is gonna play at least one more ad before letting you watch your show again.
Now dat Fletcher Reede cannot actively tell fibs anymore, perhaps he can at least partially slake his "forked tongue" cravings by taking a job cueing up da product/political ads for YouTube videos --- since he would merely be playing da ads themselves but letting someone else do da inserting of da "Your video will resume in _ seconds" messages, said second computer-stiff will actually be doing da lying during da programs.

Aprilday
A fake-emergency radio-call that a mischievous pilot makes on the first day of the fourth month, just as a joke.
One should **never** make "Aprilday" distress-transmissions -- no matter WHAT the date --- since not only may it needlessly consume valuable resources and panic rescue-workers, but such "crying wolf" shenanigans can also cause emergency-response personnel to then incorrectly ignore legitimate requests for help, since they will merely think, "Here we go again" if said completely-genuine call comes in at around that date. It's actually happened in the past, where rescue-workers have impatiently refused to respond to a real call for help because "they thought it was just an April Fool's joke".
loose change
Refers to da assorted coins dat you save up to bribe a formerly-celibate chick into spreading her legs for you and/or otherwise allowing you access to her more-intimate "real estate"; said proffered funds eventually cause da gal to modify her behavior and become more "easy" wif her body.
Giving a hot chick cash for permitting you to "let you proceed to fourth base" wif her may indeed seem like an awesome "win-win situation", but it can also often bring about "loose change" in her overall sense of decency and morals, and then she'll allow pretty much any guy to "get it on" with her, possibly leading to jealousy/resentment among her male acquaintances, STDs, unwanted pregnancies, etc.

Saint Nickelas
Sarcastic term for da "worshipingly placing on a lofty pedestal" way dat a naive youngster views any indulgent adult who is always forthcoming wif da shiny "Jefferson discs" whenever said pint-sized requests dem to buy gum/candy, a ride on a mechanical horse, etc.
While it is certainly true dat having a "Saint Nickelas" in a youngster's family or social circle of grownups may indeed seem wonderful and pleasurable to said small child, such easy-to-come-by monetary indulgence can lead to a lack of financial awareness/savvy, false sense of entitlement, laziness, etc. If da child's parents are not overly forthcoming wif said resources themselves, it is probably because they are trying to teach their offspring dat "money doesn't grow on trees", and thus honestly-acquired funds must be earned through honest labor and/or prudent investing, not merely be begged for; having someone else be a ready source of loose change will only undermine said spartan parents' teachings.
