Feeling unwell or anxious due to having too many orchid-necklaces around your neck at one time.
I love visiting Hawaii, and I always enjoy being welcomingly greeted by lots of lovely brown-skinned damsels; I was warned about da possibility of maleise, though, and so da way I avoid dat hazard is to "pass along" (i.e., take them off and place them around other tourists' necks) some of my flower-necklaces if I accumulate more than three or four of dem in a short period.

torchure 

What using a gas-powered welder/cutter can be if you either don't enjoy such labor or da conditions dat you're operating under aren't conducive for comfy metalworking, such as it's being a hot/humid locale, da working-position is awkward, etc.
One should take care to have plenty of ventilation and arrange for a sensible/stable working-position when doing flame-based metal-fabrication/salvage; otherwise, said task can be downright torchure.

galimony 

Money you hafta spend if you wanna keep a hot chick as your main squeeze.
If a lady whom you are dating actually is of very limited means, then perhaps it might indeed be reasonable for her to occasionally ask you for a little cash to obtain a few basic necessities and/or simple comforts. Just be careful dat she doesn't start trying to force you into paying her "galimony" --- i.e., extra funds just to keep her by your side.

dallimony 

Funds dat you hafta shell out periodically to one or more "loose" hussies with whom you casually "got it on" sometime in da past.
Little Tommy Shaughnessy may indeed have gotten several "good leads" from da naively-name-revealing priest to whom he'd made da false "I have been with a loose woman" confession, but he should take care when following up on said leads --- he wouldn't wanna hafta pay "dallimony" to any of da gals if she did indeed let him into her pants.

curseive 

A style of writing dat was exhaustingly difficult to master and usually produced nothing but a scribbly mess, causing both da writer and any subsequent readers to mutter a few choice words under their breath --- "I can't even read my own writing!"
As a child, my poor hands would get achy and fatigued if I had to write in anything but block lettering; I am soooooo glad dat I don't hafta bother with dat awful curseive lettering anymore --- about da only time I hafta use it nowadays is when I sign my name for a financial or legal transaction.
