Prettykin diet

The infamous super-restrictive food-choice regimen that supposedly increases the chance that (1) your currently-existing relatives ("kin") will seem better-looking to you than they did before, and (2) you'll produce more attractive offspring than you might have with just a "regular" diet.
The Prettykin Diet is of questionable value at best, especially considering that (A) you'll likely feel ravenously hungry all the time, (B) it often produces horrendous flatulence, and (C) the diet's original founder committed suicide (or maybe he just succumbed to sheer hunger??).

gelousy

Envious of someone else's ease and/or success at making a liquid thicken.
I just used ordinary store-bought fruit-pectin to create my peach-preserves --- no need to feel any gelousy over it.

Laurel and Hardy reasoning

Using the actions/mentality of "The Boys" as role models for ordinary daily living and/or social behavior, causing you to frequently make preposterous blunders that create chaos/humiliation to both yourself and any other unsuspecting unfortunates who happen to currently be in your general vicinity.
I don't get it --- I clearly explain to people about my Laurel and Hardy reasoning whenever they object/protest about my choices of everyday actions, but they always just roll their eyes at my innocent "Well, that's how 'The Duo' always performed this type of task in their films" excuse.

BYOB vs. MYOB

BYOB vs. MYOB

If you do the former when you go to a party, it may significantly reduce your abilities to do the latter with the guests at said party.
I don't drink and I have zero desire to either gossip or stick my inquisitive beak in where it doesn't belong, so I don't have any problem with "BYOB vs. MYOB" myself. Sometimes one or more others at a gathering I'm attending are not quite so discreet or inhibited when they get a little alcohol into them, however, and so they may "start in on me" about personal stuff in my life that is neither a problem for them nor even concerns them in any way, and so I hafta just quietly "make a hasty exit" before things get ugly.

Post™ traumatic stress

The assorted "gastronomical nightmare" feelings (heartburn, cramping, bloating, etc.) suffered from eating excessive amounts of crunchy-sweet cold cereal.
I was super-hungry, so I polished off half a box of Honey Bunches Of Oats in one sitting, and now I gots Post™ traumatic stress!

hillyulence

Farts that waver up and down in pitch, rather than staying at a rock-steady "flat" note.
With proper practice, one can vary da tightness of his sphincter so as to produce different "notes" as he's letting one rip; some people can really "play a merry hillyulence" while chowing down on cabbage and baked beans.

VHS ALERT: BOATERS & ANGLERS

Da wording on a dockside sign dat warns aquatic sportsmen about of a serious bacterial infection of fish caused by throwing videocassettes into the water.
I always find da "VHS ALERT: BOATERS & ANGLERS" signs puzzling, since conceivably most folks who would be venturing out on a lake or river would not even have televisions or VCRs with them, and so there should be little problem of folks tossing their broken/unwanted tapes overboard while they were cruising around in their skiffs and yachts.
