What you may literally hafta do if you wanna learn Chinese --- some of their text is arranged in a vertical column that hasta be scanned from the bottom to the top in order to decipher it. Makes ya wonder how the Chinese don't get sore necks from all dat bobble-headed noddin' they do whenever they sit down to read da mornin' paper.
Learning how to make sense of all that fancy vertical signage in Chinatown is fairly simple --- just read up on it.

Sounds like using pathetic/laughable excuses for supposedly justifying/forgiving serious crimes is becoming a trend --- first there was Ethan Couch with his "affluenza" defense, then Edward Snowed-in's whining about "cabin fever"... what's next???

Dennis the Mennis --- I mean, I mean --- Deenase the Meenase --- whatever --- however you'd spell or say it! --- is portrayed as just a little 5-year-old boy, yet he obviously has great siniority over many less-bratty children more than twice his age!

A.k.a. finely-pulverized talc. A substance utilized when you want to find out who's been cutting the cheese, but nobody's willing to 'fess up; the simple procedure involves having everyone strip down and stretch out on their stomachs, whereupon you sprinkle a moderate dusting of baby-powder on the lower half of their ass-cheeks, then watch for a "puffball eruption" --- busted!
Using fart-detecting compound can indeed be an excellent way of reliably determining "who did it", but you will want to be wary about slapping said odiferous-offender's butt afterwards, especially if you're an attractive female --- as you are all too aware, many dudes actually **enjoy** getting spanked by a cute gal (we find it fun and hilariously amusing, plus it makes us horny), and so your hot-headed attempt at getting back at said "whistleblower" may actually "backfire" --- literally! (Pun not intended, but certainly spot-on appropriate in this instance!) Said gassy dude --- and by extension, one or more of his other buddies in the room --- may then begin actively "tuning up the brass band" (and possibly even chow down on baked beans or other gas-producing delicacies to ensure an ample/continuous "supply" ) so as to "earn" smartly-administered swats from you, eventually leaving you with stinging palms and a major headache from da resulting stench.

Refers to an attractive female's “purchasing” of a mushy-hearted male's compliance/forgiveness/assistance/generosity by giving him a wheedling smile and batting her eyelashes. Often spoken about in a disgusted/sarcastic tone by a fellow male who was not present at the time of said “transaction”, and so he cannot really have any way of knowing for sure if HE HIMSELF might have been hopelessly “melted”, also, if he had been in his buddy's shoes. Daisy Duke is known to be something of an expert at this sort of thing, frequently using her beauty and charm to mellow the otherwise hard-nosed Hazzard County officials and get them to go easier on her two somewhat-reckless cousins.
Recently-arrived museum ticket agent: You mean to tell me that you let that giggle of girls in for FREE?!?!??? Are you outta yer mind, dude?!??
Starry-eyed ticket agent whom he is relieving: Oh, I couldn't help it... they gave me such warm sweet simpery smiles and flapped their long exquisite eyelashes at me in such an alluringly flirty manner that so I just couldn’t bear to charge them anything.
Recently-arrived museum ticket agent: Ahhhh... they pulled the ole' “flutterbuy routine” on you, did they??

Depending on who you talk to, can equally refer to either someone who supports or opposes former Cuban leader Castro's ideologies.
I imagine you could question Achmed regarding his views of inFidels, but proceed at your own risk --- his feelings would likely be so strong in that regard that he might "keel" you just for asking him about it!

Refers to da usually-overpriced crappy-a** merchandise dat remains unsold subsequent to a gala celebration, holiday-bash, or other one-time/seasonal sales-event; said goodies can often be had for very little or even free, if said products' vendors were just going to toss it in da dumpster or have already done so.
You can often pick up after-market items for next to nothing if they have "gone stale", either because they are actually perishable goods and thus are starting to no longer be saleable after the sales-event is over, or because they are season/event/holiday-related (such as spring-gardening accessories, Independence-Day ephemera, personalized wedding-trinkets, Valentine's Day candy, etc.) and therefore would no longer be of interest to most buyers. If you know a creative way to make use of said sundries, however --- like if you can chop up flashy decorations to use as glitter, re-label imprinted items to use for another purpose, pass out random items as party-favors to open-minded/good-humored folks who don't mind the "invalid-to-the-event" nature of said baubles, etc. --- then by al means, knock yourself out... just be careful that you don't allow said gleeful foraging turn into a free-food fiasco, whereby you gluttonously gorge yourself on all kinds of refined/sugary/salty crap that's been discarded, and which therefore is indeed totally "up for grabs" but would not be healthy to consume in large quantities, especially if you are on a diet to lose weight or otherwise needing to watch your calorie/carb/sodium-intake.
