A long-necked herbivorous dinosaur dat did indeed "grow up to be big and strong from eating its vegetables".
Da Brawntosaurus may indeed be a seemingly-impressive roll-model for parents to cite when trying to get their sweet-tooth-oriented toddlers to gag down their peas and carrots, but I hear dat said ancient giraffe-statured vegetation-chomping lizard may actually have never existed, so perhaps it's less of a mystery why mentioning said chlorophyll-loving-and-therefore-muscle-bound leviathan is often so ineffective at convincing little ones to voraciously chow down on their salad.

In the musical "Chicago", Billy Flynn presents a flashy and compelling "writ of hey b.s. corpus" which gets da selfish murderess Roxie off da hook, despite her indeed being "Gil T. Azell" of her accused crime.

Refers to the playful "pretend assistive" action of raising someone's ankles up off the bed/couch in an apparent effort to aid him in standing back up ("Okay, your feet are up so far; you can lift more of yourself up now!"), but in reality you are effectively **preventing** him from standing up, since he would need to have his legs **lower** than his head and torso in order to be able to sit up and get to his feet. :P
Employing da "helpful" legs-lift is a good way of sarcastically conveying to a huge-a** lazy-bones who has groaningly asked for your assistance in rising dat he is obviously much too big/bulky/heavy for a much-smaller/lighter/weaker person like you to actually lift to his feet, and dat he will therefore need to just clamber back up under his OWN steam.

To refuse to take no for an answer when requesting a loan/handout from others (i.e., asking them to "open their purses").
I have totally given up on "loaning" money to the local moochers ('cuz they seldom pay me back --- duhhh), but some of them are surely purseistent in continuing to ask me, anyway.

Billy Flynn claimed dat da crowd wouldn't be able to "hear da truth above da roar"; maybe he was thinking about said loud/deep intonations coming from LEO the Lyin', since it's widely known dat "LEO" --- acronym for "law enforcement officer" --- members are known to "fib freely" in order to extract information and/or confessions from people.
