If I collect and process returnable beverage-cans long enough, does dat make me knowledgeable enough about their basic material dat I could qualify as one of da alumini on da subject?

Get the aluminimug. Refers to where you hastily "make like a crab" when ambling along the road or down a long aisle/hallway and observe someone warily approaching with an extra-wide/bulky "item in tow", such as if a person is wheezingly lugging one or more large humongously-bulging sacks/bundles in his arms, or if a vehicle is pulling an extra-wide trailer; the "courtesy" notation implies that you intentionally move aside considerably farther than is actually necessary for safely allowing the person to get by you; your purpose is to ensure that the trepidatious cargo-transporter can feel totally confident and non-apprehensive about passing by your position.
I always make sure to perform the courtesy-sidestep whenever I see someone approaching who needs extra room to pass, especially if there is a wall, line of parked vehicles, or other currently-immovable object at the side of the road that the person is having to actively avoid. And I also find that I can acceptably do so even if there are other folks present beside the road, as well... even if several people are also standing next to the wall --- like a bunch of huge burly D.O.T. guys at a road-repair-construction site --- I have never been griped at for just unceremoniously squinching myself right up against/among them till the extra-bulky vehicle has passed; I guess it's kinda understood that personal space/boundaries get temporarily "collapsed" or "suspended" when safety is at stake.

Get the courtesy-sidestepmug. Da "parody on da cake-baking saying" remark dat you smilingly say to a cute chick whom you've unexpectedly met somewhere, and you are savoringly pressing her soft warm palms against yer fuzzy cheeks.
I always love joking around about, "If I'd known you were coming, I'd have shaved my beard" wif pretty girls whom I befriend; said humorous remark always gets da biggest amused giggle-fits outta dem.

Get the If I'd known you were coming, I'd have shaved my beardmug. Medicine designed to reduce the queasy head-swimmy feelings normally experienced while being subjected to the insensitive/destructive verbal tirades of one or more fellow humans who actually have little or nothing to complain about regarding the voluminously-hollered-about topic, but are just creating invalid "drama" and being mean in order to entertain themselves and feel popular/important for five minutes.
My stomach's in a knot from all of my mother-in-law's moaning about my young daughter's lack of "social popularity" in her preschool classes, so I better take some Dramamean before I puke.

Get the Dramameanmug. Now that Lassie is back living with Joe and his parents, she has no further reason to feel melancollie.

Get the melancolliemug. Refers to where one or more individuals intentionally direct their butt-trumpets in a certain direction to ward off undesirables. Extra points if a whole crowd of people “combine forces” by forming a barrier-line and all bending over and “collectively letting fly” to further encourage said undesirable(s) to keep their distance.
Mass-fartification can indeed be a highly-effective means of preventing less-than-savory individuals from “crossing the line of fire”; the only usual problems would be if the unwelcome person either doesn’t have a good sense of smell, can hold his breath for extended periods, or thought to bring along a damp rag to tie over his nose.

Get the fartificationmug. A.k.a. "garnished generosity". Refers to da "snooty-friends/cousins/siblings procedure" of retaining/withdrawing/consuming all of da "goodies" from a particular lot of items, and then pretending to be lovingly/caringly thoughtful of you by giving you da remaining items, which are inferior or less-desirable in some way.
A classic example of selective sharing would be during snack-time, whereby da gluttonous and sweet-toothed connivers --- instead of carefully/conscientiously dividing up da tasty and not-so-tasty comestibles evenly among everyone present --- first select all of da best and most-palatable selections from da goodies-platter for themselves to guzzle up, and then leave you wif just da blander and/or less-chewable/digestible selections, such as da veggies, chocolates wif coconut centers, overly-firm/spicy chips, etc.
