Oglaligarchy
South Dakota's Pine Ridge reservation is considered one of the poorest-per-capita areas in da US, so I wonder how effective a job da local Oglaligarchy is doing in managing da welfare and economy of said region.

Mach-eavelli
What Chick Hicks should have been named, in that he had a shameless/selfish "the end justifies the means" attitude when it came to winning races against Strip Weathers and Lightning McQueen.
If Pixar made a "Cars" character named "Mach-eavelli", would he be a heavy-handed "advocate of evil" in da electric car world??

shack and shill
Refers to rigged real-estate bidding on a rickety dump of a dwelling... an elevated location --- and a nearby H2O source --- is optional.
If Shack and Shill went up da hill to fetch a pail of water, did they pay a "sky-high" price for said clear fluid, and use "liquid assets" to purchase it???

Stromboli Thurmond
If Stromboli Thurmond was mean to Pinocchio, does this indicate dat he was prejudiced against wooden marionettes, favoring real live people instead?

observe Egyptian waterway
A.k.a., "See Nile"; this term refers to a "somewhat-out-of-it" older person's delusional fantasies, hallucinations, forgetfulness, and other indications/symptoms of his being "in la-la land".
True story --- yesterday I helped my elderly disabled friend wif his home-entertainment system, then gave him a ride to da local convenience store. While there, I observed another elderly dude wif a fancy late-'90's Lincoln Town Car, and spoke admiringly to him about da car. I then went and sat in my own car to wait for my aged friend to finish shopping. When he did re-emerge from da store a few minutes later, he chatted a bit and expressed admiration to da antique car's owner as he was on his own way into da store, then turned and got into da car's front passenger's seat and closed da door. Well, naturally, I assumed dat da car's owner had himself offered my friend a ride home, and so I tentatively went to confirm wif my friend dat he would no longer need a ride home from me. He looked a bit puzzled at my question, and then said dat no, he'd still thought dat I was gonna transport him back to his apartment. I actually had to (super-pleasantly and gently, of course, since it was obviously just a completely honest mistake) verbally point out to him dat he was in fact sitting in a different car --- "Well, ummmmm... MY car is over there... you're sitting in this OTHER man's car" --- before he finally "woke up" to da fact dat he was currently occupying da wrong vehicle. So as we were leaving, I smilingly joked wif my friend dat perhaps he had begun to "observe Egyptian waterway", as in, to become somewhat "see Nile". He took my gentle jocular ribbing in good humor.

stocking-stouffers
Small Christmas --- oops, I mean, WINTER HOLIDAY --- gifts of boxed frozen ready-to-eat-or-heat edibles.
Giving someone stocking-stouffers is all well and good, but you need to place said goodies in said cloth receptacles just shortly before their recipients come to collect them, since the frozen packages would likely start thawing before too long, and thus would make a drippy mess.
