A "let's see if you can behave yourself this time" period dat you hafta struggle through after having committed some illegal game-enticing action when trapping, hunting, or fishing.
Visiting angler from New York: Da Rhode Island game warden agreed wif me dat, since da employee at da nearby sporting-goods shop had been da one who had recommended canned corn to put on my hook, it was really said inattentive clerk's fault dat I'd unknowingly used an illegal-in-only-dat-one-state attractant, not mine. So he merely gave me a six-month probaition period instead of making me either pay a fine or appear in court.

Get the probaitionmug. The opposite of contraband (desirable/valuable items which you do not own but wish to possess), this term refers to decidedly UNdesirable/useless items (heaps of trash, bald tires, hideous-looking/sloppy-fitting clothing, etc.) which ARE indeed legally yours, but which you strongly wish to get rid of.

Get the fizzical therapymug. "The better something tastes and/or the more filling it is, the worse it is for you." (Well, duhhh...!) Similar to when you are given a spoonful of medicinal syrup and it tastes absolutely terrible, and so you figure that it MUST be good for you. (And of course, that may indeed be true sometimes, but I wonder if a lot of times it's merely somewhat of a placebo effect --- your body just hurries up and gets well so that it doesn't hafta stomach the tortures of gagging down any more of that horrid bitter/sour elixir!)
I love rich sumptuous foods like burgers and fries, but my hippie-guru doctor put me on a diet of yucky-tasting bean sprouts and tofu --- talk about a classic case of Murphy's Law of Food-Flavor!

Get the Murphy's Law of Food-Flavormug. Da proprietress of Fawlty Towers may indeed be "responsybil" in many ways, but her inherent laziness and her ability to infuriate her already-high-strung other half usually seem to largely negate da benefits of such prudent actions.

Get the responsybilmug. A lot of guys get huge boners at da sight of any even-marginally-attractive lady "in da buff", so dat is not necessarily much cause for swellebration.

Get the swellebrationmug. Refers to sets of two different and successive roads where you initially meet a specific fellow motorist on da first road, and then bid him farewell on da second road because da two of you are traveling in different directions.
If you're in da habit of running afoul of one or more smokeys on your road-trips, you'll want to choose routes dat includes enough pairs of hiways and byeways so dat you can give said Men In Blue da slip whenever necessary.
