Less-than-honest descriptions/assertions about an electrical power-supply that is supposed to produce "dee-cee" (i.e., direct current), but is in fact just a simple "ay-cee" (i.e., alternating current) transformer, with no costly diodes or capacitors included inside.
Some companies are deeceetful in their manufacturing of plug-in wall-power-packs for consumer electronics --- rather than using a "square-group" of four diodes to make a proper full-wave rectifier, they just stick a single diode in there to make a crude half-wave rectifier, which not only produces a lot more hum and much "choppier" DC voltage, but also utilizes less than half the current-output of the transformer.

Da tiny central-Maine town where da residents "drink responsibly" from communal jugs of brain-enhancing cordial in order to "quench their thirst for knowledge", rather than just mindlessly swigging from "dumb" beverage-vessels dat only contains unremarkable low-quality "white-lightnin'" grog dat merely keeps everyone stupid and ignorant, like they do in da town next door.
If da townspeople of PassaSMARTkeg and PassaDUMBkeg got together for a baked bean supper, they would likely all hafta run down to da PASSAGASSAWAKEG River in to collectively "relieve da pressure" afterwards. (Nobody light a match!)

"You can patronize the slots till Doomsday or buy any number of scratch-off tickets and never gain any significant winnings, but then just as soon as you stop playing, the very next player will win big."
Many an addicted gamer believes in Murphy's Law of Gambling, even though it is indeed :"all chance" and thus seldom actually works out that way.

Personal and/or monetary connection/involvement regarding an upper-torso-warmth/protection garment-manufacturing establishment.
If I worked in a job dat required Kevlar body-armor, I would sure-as-shootin' (pun not intended, but it is indeed 100% appropriate!) have a "vested interest" in da garments' manufacturer!

I wonder if most folks in Tieland act more formal than some other countrymen, since their main industry involves dressing up?

Ranger Reid and Tonto probably remained in good health from both being outdoors in the fresh air and sunshine most of the time and apparently abstaining from any harmful substances like alcohol or tobacco, and so conceivably they would never have been in a position to call each other "chemosabe".
