QuacksO's definitions
Snortingly-sarcastic term for a shyster's/villain's huffily acting like he's a conscientious peaceable virtuous caring-about-fellow-humans person who shouldn't be suspected or criticized, when of course in reality he's just a self-centered a**h**e who's totally undeserving of any praise or respect.
A prime example of someone's deciding to use this shameless tactic would be in "The Untouchables" with Kevin Costner --- when Elliot Ness angrily confronts Al Capone on the stairway and accuses him of murdering people and otherwise being a horrid crook, Capone indignantly lashes out right back at Ness for his "talking that way in front of Capone's son"... Ness's feelings would therefore be something like, Capone decided to go all "family man" on me --- how infuriatingly disgusting!

Get the go all "family man" on memug. Incompetent and/or oblivious moron of a driver who is prone to crashing vehicles into walls, backing into cement traffic-barriers, taking out road-signs, knocking over lamp-posts, denting other parked cars, flattening potted plants, squashing trash-cans, etc.
"Helpful" neighborhood kid: Want me to move your car for you"
You: No thank you, Captain Crunch. I see all the dents you've already put in your own car!

Get the Captain Crunchmug. Refers to members of the less-affluent sector of mall-customers who merely wish to purchase regular groceries and/or household products in bulk, but who do not buy enough yearly volume to justify paying the exorbitant "membership fee" that the "big box" stores like Sam's Club charge. These limited-income folks therefore discreetly approach "enrolled" club-members who have either just arrived at the store or are currently pushing their carts around the aisles, and quietly ask them if they could please also purchase the merchandise that the indigent people want along with the items on their own shopping lists, and then afterwards they all meet back up outside in the parking lot where there are no prying eyes from the store's staff, and the grateful low-income families carefully go over the obliging club-members' store-receipts to total up the costs of the "additionally-purchased" items, and then reimburse the members for the appropriate amounts in cash.
Being a secret shopper can indeed be a great way to save on household-staple items; just watch out for Sam's Club chiselers, however.

Get the secret shoppermug. A "restricted" motor-vehicle operator's card dat either (1) forbids you from operating your car during wet/snowy weather, and/or (2) mandates dat you be absolutely sober (i.e., "dry") before getting behind da wheel.
If you are super-klutzy about doing your wash, da laundromat might issue you a restricted-access (i.e., you must ask an attendant for supervision/assistance in loading your washed-but-still-damp clothes) dryver's license, too, since they would be concerned about your puttin' your careless cotton-pickin' paws on any of their expensive heat-tumbler machines.

Get the dryver's licensemug. If da indolent sleazeball Caldwell Merchfield was to relocate to da general vicinity of da Eiffel Tower, he would probably become a major social parisite.

Get the social parisitemug. Refers to where either ya blow yer top now in order to let off enough steam so dat ya can bear to be more calm/patient later, or ya postpone yer screamin' tirade for some future date, either because it would be more safe/acceptable to do it at dat subsequent time, or ya are hoping dat whatever super-infuriating conditions dat presently exist will improve sufficiently by then dat ya won't feel so fist-clenchedly upset in da first place.
I was fumingly incensed at having gotten caught in an unexpected rainstorm on da way home, but I knew dat it was only a temperary situation --- i.e., da sun would come out again eventually, plus I had dry clothing at da house --- and so I managed not to "grouch 'n' grouse" about getting soaked.
