Derisive term for a situation where a chronic moocher tries to temptingly persuade you to "just give him one very last loan" supposedly in order to enable him to accomplish whatever he needs to do in order to become able to finally pay you back all that he owes you --- and possibly a bit extra as a gratitude gesture --- in one lump sum. The idea is that he still does not even possess a real "carrot" --- i.e., any actual cold hard cash --- to offer you, but he is merely offering you the empty-talk promise of a "whole bag or carrots" --- i.e., a large one-time payment-amount that is far greater than any of the individual loans you have given him so far -- if you continue to bust your a** on his behalf. And of course, this assertion, too, is itself usually just another worthless promise, similar to all the other times when said handout-seeker has come bawling and blubbering to you for financial assistance in the past.
The local preacher tried to tell me that if I toil my butt off and live a life of strict propriety and chastity, **maybe** I will be given great rewards in Heaven. Sounds like a classic "empty carrots-bag on a stick" promise to me --- why should I suffer the agonies of an extra-hard and boring existence, especially when I am not even assured of any recognition or benefits for my efforts, anyway???

1: Da minuscule-but-abrasively-hurtful details dat Elliot Ness had to deal with in regards to Al Capone's right-hand-man henchman.
2. Da unpalatable and irritatingly-picky details regarding actual history of whether said smug sleazeball actually performed many of da entertainingly-memorable felonious actions portrayed in da 1987 "The Untouchables" film.

Da wildly-popular "war on liquor" gangster-drama starring Kevin Costner and Robert De Niro may indeed have been exciting and dramatic for its viewers, but if you get right down to da Nitti-gritty of it, da infamous "goon in a white suit" character played by Billy Drago apparently never personally performed hitman-style assassinations as depicted in said movie, nor was he actively involved in much if any actual killing, either.

A "final resting place" enclosure for someone who did loud and/or voluminous choking during da period while he was "vertical instead of horizontal".
Charlie Brown's intellectually-naive little sister Sally claimed dat da largest dinosaur dat ever lived was da "Bronchitis", and also dat it soon became extinct because it had extended periods of raucous hacking. Given said reptilian leviathon's enormous size, though, I wonder how big a sarcoughagus one of THEM would be buried in???

How you describe a proposed recreational activity to a girl to alleviate most of her "automatic" (i.e., uncertainties that would typically occur to her "right off the bat" whenever anything unfamiliar is suggested to her) concerns .
Telling a cutie that, "It's easy, fun, free, legal, calorie-free, and won't get you pregnant" when you wanna give her an "all over" massage is fine and dandy,. but how can you be so sure that this will all be true? I mean, just **you** try and "keep it in your pants" when you have a luscious-fleshed girl lying naked and submissive in front of you!

What a stingy/indigent person firmly says regarding da purchase of a certain item, and meaning dat he will only agree to buy a less-expensive used model instead of a pricey "fresh off da store shelf" one.
With many types of items, it is indeed often a good practice to buy them second-hand, especially costlier objects such as houses, cars, farm/industrial machinery, tools, etc. But for other items like vacuum-cleaners or other dust-collecting appliances, batteries or other chemical-based products, untreated lumber, and other objects that tend to wear/dry out or "go bad" quickly/easily, "Ix-nay on the ew-nay" may in fact NOT be such a wise mindset, in dat DAT sort af "previously enjoyed" item might not be in very good shape anymore... here, buying a new item --- and then caring for it properly --- might actually be MORE cost-effective in da long run.

One can imagine how exaspirated the drama-weary faculty at Ethan Couch's school felt when his father actually offered to buy them out just so that Papa's "little prince" could be treated in the unfairly-coddled way that he wanted.
