Refers to da steps-saving groceries-trolley-returning practice whereby ya halt a few yards from da cart-corral in da parking lot and then give da cart a speedy push so dat it (hopefully!) rolls da rest of da way into da corral, thus scoring a "goal".
I always love seeing my "aimed and released" shopping-cart roll smoothly between da walls of da corral; shopping-cart hockey is even more satisfying, though, if said cart also clatters itself into place at da end of da line of other carts in da corral.

Get the damnages mug.Refers to someone who provides a low-income person with the most ideal and reasonable/healthy type of monetary assistance --- he simply "fills in the gaps" in the indigent person's financial life, such as purchasing economy-grade groceries, buying a few separate tools (extra points if the person requests/accepts used tools from a thrift store or yard sale) to replace broken/worn/missing ones in the person's toolbox, providing maintenance/repair materials to fix/upgrade things around the person's house, and so on.
Financially-solvent dude: I really appreciate how Tiffany only asks me to be a financial dentist for her, rather than expecting me to buy her everything under the sun. Plus not only does she never try to pressure me to go along on any of her boring mall-shopping trips, but she also always cuddles up with me while I'm browsing Amazon/E-Bay to locate the lowest price on the occasional replacement item or tape/disc that she wants, and accompanies me hand-in-hand to Goodwill or the local pawn-shops/thrift-stores whenever I go scrounging for bargains on the few simple household/recreational items that she does ask me for... her warm-hearted gratitude-filled companionship during these somewhat-tedious endeavors is an welcome bonus all on its own, of course, but her always being at my side also means that she's right there to actually observe and inspect each of the items that I'm thinking of choosing for her, and so she can more easily/reliably determine if the item I'm looking at is indeed the best choice to fulfill her needs.

One should carefully monitor his equipment during da drying-process so as not to end up with Swiss charred!

Get the Swiss charred mug.Not to be confused with anti-hypocrisy tutelage ("This what we SHOULD do, but it is not what a lot of people actually DO do"), this term refers to what you attempt to teach a fellow living creature during house-training.
A classic example of "SHOULD do vs. DOO-doo" would be an '80's-era "Garfield" cartoon where Jon Arbuckle was upset when Odie "left a gift on the carpet"; he then expressed great appreciation to Garfield for being housebroken.

Get the SHOULD do vs. DOO-doo mug.I respect dudes and chicks equally, so I don't even touch da gender-inflammatory subject of which half of da human race is better at "remaining hush-hush". So to me, saying, "Pup's the word" is an insult to guys, as if they are less able to keep secrets than ladies --- whether they've had children or not --- are.

Get the pup's the word mug.If someone asks you any "juana" questions --- i.e., if "Tijuana" try some "marijuana" --- you may need to actually lie to him when you reply dat you "maridon'twanna", since in reality your naive innocent curious mind may indeed actually "mariwanna" try it "just to see what it's like". No need to feel conscience-pricked for your less-than-honest answer, though... needlessly consuming drugs of any kind is never wise, and it's almost always better to merely tell a lie --- especially to a himself-less-than-honorable person like a narcotics-dealer who therefore doesn't even deserve to always be told da truth, anyway --- than to potentially ruin your entire life (both health-wise and legally) by "making a mistake" with addictive substances.
