A fancy-schamncy concert-hall in NYC that features everyone's favorite cloyingly-sweet TV personality.
Other folks can attend the fancy hyped programs at the Metropolitan Oprah House if they choose, but I am not really into all the glitz and drama --- gimme a nice quiet friendly backyard barbecue or simple country-folk musical-shindig EVERY time.

A fortunate person who got out with his life after partaking of a really horrible culinary experience.
Archie's classmates felt like they were literal serveivors every time they successfully remained alive following a meal prepared by their temperish cafeteria cook Miss Beasley.

Refers to a noisy/voluminous outburst of frazzled-nerved emotion involving watercolors, either emanating from a creator/observer of a messy spill/soiling involving said paint, or the resulting preposterous canvas-creation (think, abstract art) when the "genius painter" supposedly experiences a "creative epiphany" and totally "goes wild" with his colors in an effort to supposedly illustrate his inspirations, emotions, Heavenly-based vision, etc.
Old-school art-critic: I can't believe that the TV auction actually sold that hideous tempera tantrum for several million dollars --- first of all, who in his right mind would even WANT that confusing monstrosity slapped up on his parlor-wall to stare at night and day, anyway?? And second, why should anyone want to actually BUY something like that, when it's nothing special and exhibits absolutely zero talent? Why, I'm no artist, but I could easily create something like that myself in under five minutes just by splashing some paint around and callin' it good! Zheeeeeesh....!!

"If you 'prepare for the worst' by bringing along extra jackets/gloves, an umbrella, etc., then the skies will be sunny and mild all the time you're 'out 'n' about'. But if you decide to leave all that stuff behind at home and set out on your trip in just your ordinary street-clothes, there'll be a bleepin' MONSOON or HURRICANE!
The morning started out kinda overcast and nippy, so I brought an umbrella, thick hoodie-jacket, and gloves with me when I set out to run some errands around town. Well, naturally, once I got a fair distance from home and thus I didn't wanna traipse all the way back to put everything away again, the sun came out and the day got really warm, and so I was just feverishly lugging all that extra stuff around with me for nothing... classic case of "Murphy's Law of Foul-Weather Gear", I guess.

If a lady whom you are dating actually is of very limited means, then perhaps it might indeed be reasonable for her to occasionally ask you for a little cash to obtain a few basic necessities and/or simple comforts. Just be careful dat she doesn't start trying to force you into paying her "galimony" --- i.e., extra funds just to keep her by your side.

Refers to the age-old "cranky conundrum" issue about when children want to go to bed as opposed to when adults wish to do so. Many youngsters detest bedtime and want to delay it as long as possible, whereas grownups often can't wait to "hit da hay", and are also always looking to "catch a few extra winks" whenever possible.
Da whole bedtime-vs.-age debacle equally applies to getting up in the morning, as well --- many kids are totally "rarin' to go" at da crack of dawn, whereas their exhausted parents would happily "sleep till noon" if they had da choice.
