Da infamous sword-waving sailors who sold corn for da "highway robbery" price of a "buck an ear" --- okay, I'm kidding, but you get da idea --- were "working together on da salty billows" --- i.e., in "conspirasea" --- to rob other ships, and so da correctly-spelled word "consPIRACY" really fits da bill, as well.

That way, you are giving an essentially-truthful answer, while still "keeping the conversation G-rated" --- i.e., without divulging any actual "adult-themed" info. Plus said youngster will likely become either bored or "info-overloaded" while staring at the map, and thus will forget about his/her original question.

Get the Philippian tubes mug.Refers to any horrendous-possible-future-event statement like, "You will almost certainly drop dead if you don't buy/do this" that is made by someone who often is just selfishly trying to manipulate you into bowing to their wishes/ideas. Under ordinary circumstances, about the only type of thing that would be of valid concern would be something like smoking or taking certain medications.
During my visit to the ER with acute pleurisy during the late fall of '02, the doctor --- probably in a selfish effort to further milk MaineCare --- attempted to scare me into having my appendix removed by informing me that I would "very likely" not survive unless I had that operation. I knew that it was just an inflamed pleural sac, though, so in spite of the doctor's diere prediction, I said no thank you, and took a cab home. My sister gave me some calcium pills and I rested in bed for most of the morning and afternoon, and then the following day I was actually recovered enough to "bundle up like a mummy" and walk a mile through the bitter cold to visit some friends. That was well over fifteen years ago, and I'm still alive and kickin'!

Get the maleise mug.What you create when you place the mouth of a beverage-bottle whose contents you plan to finish right then under your nose, press it inwards lightly to form a seal, tilt your head back, and then slowly slide the bottle downwards so that its opening gets gradually exposed overtop of your mouth and you can thus guzzle the liquid directly down your throat; the trick is to keep your upper lip pressed against the mouth of the bottle so that you're still partially covering the bottle's mouth, and thus the drink glugs out slowly enough to allow you to swallow it at a comfortable rate until the bottle is empty.
I often get odd looks from others when I employ the "upper-lip valve" method of drinking out of a bottle, but it allows me to both still breathe freely while I'm downing said libation, and also keep from spilling it all over myself, and so I don't really mind being thought of as a bit weird or inelegant.
