financial dentist

Refers to someone who provides a low-income person with the most ideal and reasonable/healthy type of monetary assistance --- he simply "fills in the gaps" in the indigent person's financial life, such as purchasing economy-grade groceries, buying a few separate tools (extra points if the person requests/accepts used tools from a thrift store or yard sale) to replace broken/worn/missing ones in the person's toolbox, providing maintenance/repair materials to fix/upgrade things around the person's house, and so on.
Financially-solvent dude: I really appreciate how Tiffany only asks me to be a financial dentist for her, rather than expecting me to buy her everything under the sun. Plus not only does she never try to pressure me to go along on any of her boring mall-shopping trips, but she also always cuddles up with me while I'm browsing Amazon/E-Bay to locate the lowest price on the occasional replacement item or tape/disc that she wants, and accompanies me hand-in-hand to Goodwill or the local pawn-shops/thrift-stores whenever I go scrounging for bargains on the few simple household/recreational items that she does ask me for... her warm-hearted gratitude-filled companionship during these somewhat-tedious endeavors is an welcome bonus all on its own, of course, but her always being at my side also means that she's right there to actually observe and inspect each of the items that I'm thinking of choosing for her, and so she can more easily/reliably determine if the item I'm looking at is indeed the best choice to fulfill her needs.

Swiss charred

What you'll likely create if ya set da thermostat on yer dehumidifier too high when drying veggie-greens.
One should carefully monitor his equipment during da drying-process so as not to end up with Swiss charred!

shopping-cart hockey

Refers to da steps-saving groceries-trolley-returning practice whereby ya halt a few yards from da cart-corral in da parking lot and then give da cart a speedy push so dat it (hopefully!) rolls da rest of da way into da corral, thus scoring a "goal".
I always love seeing my "aimed and released" shopping-cart roll smoothly between da walls of da corral; shopping-cart hockey is even more satisfying, though, if said cart also clatters itself into place at da end of da line of other carts in da corral.

flash-burn

A painful scorching of yer eyeballs caused by an exceedingly UNattractive female's briefly revealing The Merchandise to you, creating such shock and revulsion that it actually injures your unsuspecting retinas. Usually non-permanent, but can eventually cause significant damage if repeated and/or prolonged "exposure" is suffered.
I suffered an unexpectedly "revealing" encounter with a senile resident while visiting the local nursing-home, and so I hadda be rushed to the facility's infirmary with minor flash-burn.

damnages

What you sue for when the use of profanity has caused harm and/or distress.
People were reluctant to allow swear-words to be used in motion pictures, but once Clark Gable famously used one in "Gone With The Wind", the damnages were done, and now movies are full of the foulest of language.

Whack-A-Mole faucets

Refers to those dumb-a** water-saver spigots with push-to-operate valves dat gradually rise back up and stop da water-flow after a ridiculously short time, obliging you to keep "bashing da buttons" every few seconds while trying to wash your hands or fill your drinking-cup.
One fairly-simple way to keep Whack-A-Mole faucets running continuously is to slap da "H" and "C" valves alternately, and always doing so before da currently-running one stops flowing; this causes both valves to stay open more of da time, allowing for an uninterrupted flow of water from da spout.

commenterry

Narration regarding fluffy absorbent towel-material.
All of us guys remarked to Tiffany about how good she looked straight out of da shower, but da commenterry REALLY picked up when she actually let us remove her bathrobe so dat we could see and feel her sleek freshly-scrubbed naked body for ourselves!
