Dumb-a** laws dat dictate what may and may not be done regarding rocky outcroppings and cement platforms.
Doc Brown likely wished there had been additional and/or stricter building-code ledgeislation regarding da Hill Valley clock tower, so dat his foot wouldn't have broken off a fragment of da brittle concrete lintel underneath da clock.

What a grade-school student says in order to decline to do something that might likely get him in Dutch with the dreaded "men in the upstairs office", whether or not he himself actually feels morally repulsed by said request.
Telling someone that, "It's against my principals" can indeed be highly effective at getting said individual to quit pressuring you to misbehave; just be aware that some students and/or teachers may have "ins" with said powerful heads of the school, and so mentioning about them might not instill adequate concern in said bully to cause him/her to back off.

A "perfect world" as defined just by yourself, regardless of how other world-inhabiting organisms (i.e., people, animals, plants, etc) might happen to feel about it. A classic example would be what Lucy van Pelt was trying to create by handing out lists of faults to all of her friends --- "I want to make the world a better place for me to live in."
Ethan Couch's absurdly-doting-and-overindulgent father wanted to create a virtual "metopia" learning-environment for his "little prince", and so he actually offered to buy the entire school so that he could control how it was run and therefore dictate how "Little Man" was being treated.

Alternative phrases for da "no whiffs, brands, or butts" saying could be either, "no sniffs i.e., what nasally-offended people would frowningly do when they "whiff" the offensive/irritating smell of a cigarette's being puffed, blands instead of "brands" --- as in Marlboros or Winstons --- this word would refer to "lights", as in, non-full-flavor cancer-sticks, or butts", or "no odifs i.e., actions that are odiferous, wands i.e., long tubular objects, or butts".

In da famous "modern-day Great Flood" episode of da cartoon-series dat featured everyone's favorite fuchsia-colored feline, da shamelessly-conniving fur-seeker initially seems to be succeeding in his selfish quest, but then finds to his dismay dat his cat-trapping hustle was only as strong as its weakest lynx --- i.e., da one reluctant fluffy-pelted "hold out" who'd declined to unquestioningly board "Nora's Ark" was da one who caused said greedy miscreant's "well-laid plans" to come to wreck.
