tight-fittin' genes

An unfortunate inherited "legacy" which cause many of the descendants to be heavy-statured, whether they try to live healthfully or not.

(From an old Snuffy Smith cartoon) Elviney: I am soooo envious of that woman down the street --- she gets a brand-new dress every week!
Loweezy: Oh, no worries, darlin' --- that's only 'cuz she goes up another DRESS SIZE every week! It's those dad-blamed tight-fittin' genes!

tareorrist

An AK-47-wielding towel-head who messes with the zeroing-calibration of empty scales.

If Osama had "bin laden" with incorrectly-weighed merchandise while traveling, it might have been due to a tareorrist action.

regulaytions

Stuffy/prudish-adult directives dat are created in an attempt to keep our nation's youth from "having a good time".

Casual/premarital sex has been widely practiced since da dawn of civilization, and so one generation's trying to impose regulaytions on da subsequent "crop' of humans seems both futile and hypocritical, since many of said older folks themselves partook of delightful bouncy-bouncies in their OWN younger days.

PanDora the Explorer

Little Miss Márquez's ancient ancestor who took "exploring" to an excessive degree; thanks to her excessive inquisitiveness in wanting to know what was in The Forbidden Box, we all now have to suffer with negative/destructive tendencies in each other, such as greed, lust, jealousy, and so on.

Too bad that Epimetheus didn't install a padlock on the box of evil demons, since this might have prevented PanDora the Explorer from opening it and thus releasing all the horrible denizens contained within.

Tom and Ray Magliyahtzee

A.k.a., "Flip and Flap, the Clacket Brothers" (named after da sounds made by score-cards and rolling dice). A Jewish fraternal duo whose weekly call-in radio-show featured uproarious verbal exchanges with people wanting advice on how to better their play of da classic cards-and-dice game.

"Well, you've done it again --- you've wasted a perfectly good hour listening to us, Flip and Flap, the Clacket Brothers, otherwise known as Tom and Ray Magliyahtzee. Please take care, we'll see you here again next week, and remember --- don't roll like my brother!"
"And don't roll like MY brother!"
