Refers to where you unexpectedly get a whole string of several newly-composed UD definitions approved right off, and so you realize that the currently-online submission-judgers are apparently a more-receptive "desk" (as in, "it all depends on whose desk you land on") than the overly-critical/humorless a**h**es who seem to be typically present, and who often heartlessly/flippantly reject many of your perfectly-good and well-worded definitions in favor of stupid/negative/gross/disgusting/smutty submissions that aren't the least bit clever or funny, and which are riddled with misspellings, poor grammar, lousy/unclear wording, etc. So you hastily delve back into your "archives" of previously-rejected definitions and re-submit some of them, in the hopes that these more-fair-minded judgers are still the ones who are "watching" for new submissions, and thus they will approve this latest "crop" from you, as well.
I always try to perform the favorable-desk scramble whenever I have a chance; it's allowed me to get most of my definitions published, some of which I'd been waiting on for months.

Where you abruptly snap your head around and irritably bellow, “WHAT IS YOUR PROBLEM?!” up into the trees whenever a bushy-tailed nut-gatherer makes a chattering scolding ruckus when you are merely minding your own business and working quietly in your yard. Sometimes this stress-relieving action may actually be performed mostly for the entertainment of others in your vicinity, particularly easily-amused giggly children --- you may indeed be highly irritated by the squirrel's inexplicable/unwarranted noisy tirade, but everyone knows that your own crimson-faced outburst really isn't gonna do much good overall, since squirrels obviously ain't gonna keep quiet just 'cuz you want them to.
Sometimes doing a squirrel shout-out is indeed effective in shutting up dat noisy fur-varmint, at least for a few minutes… guess he’s so non-plussed at my sudden bellowing outburst that he doesn’t know quite what to make of it all. But in any case, I still fail to see what he’s getting so pissed off about in da first place --- I’m not bothering him or even paying him any mind, and I sure as shootin’ ain’t after his precious acorns, so what’s his beef with me, anyhoot???

A.k.a. "garnished generosity". Refers to da "snooty-friends/cousins/siblings procedure" of retaining/withdrawing/consuming all of da "goodies" from a particular lot of items, and then pretending to be lovingly/caringly thoughtful of you by giving you da remaining items, which are inferior or less-desirable in some way.
A classic example of selective sharing would be during snack-time, whereby da gluttonous and sweet-toothed connivers --- instead of carefully/conscientiously dividing up da tasty and not-so-tasty comestibles evenly among everyone present --- first select all of da best and most-palatable selections from da goodies-platter for themselves to guzzle up, and then leave you wif just da blander and/or less-chewable/digestible selections, such as da veggies, chocolates wif coconut centers, overly-firm/spicy chips, etc.

Describes da practice of donating large amounts of one's time/effort to assist others in writing responses on applications, contracts, tests, etc.
Since da infamous Paperwork Reduction Act has ultimately done little to actually curb da tidal wave of required forms and documents, there is still a great need for fillinthropic work by people wif da knowledge, patience, and endurance to either scribble da questionnaire-answers onto da "bothersome blanks" themselves, or verbally guide da frustrated/exhausted/clueless info-jotters on what would be best to put down on said assistance-request pages and agreement-sheets.

A two-faced Bible-thumping liar and fraud who liked to squealingly merge into traffic and remove layers of financial resources from his followers.
Norman Vincent Peel always said that "positive thinking can make someone rich" --- what he was really meaning was that YOUR positive thinking could make HIM rich! :P

After Grampa's old Strudelbaker got too worn to be worth fixing up anymore, Gramma used the engine for slow-cooking her breads and pies, similar to how Mike Mulligan used his now-obsolete steam-shovel's furnace to heat the new Town Hall in Popperville.

A.k.a. "sideways-hug" or "right-angle cuddle". It involves first standing next to the person whom you wish to canoodle with and using just one arm and hand to gently draw him over to you so that his chest is nestled against your side, afterwhich you affectionately tilt your head over against his and soothingly knead his back and shoulder-blades with your hand.
The sideways-snuggle can also loosely refer to a pleasurable position that you assume while canoodling with someone in bed; it's basically "half-spooning" the person, whereby you are turned on your side and nestling up against your lover, but he is either face-down or lying on his back, and so you are snuggling up to his side and have one arm (and often one leg, as well) affectionately draped over him. This "partial embrace" position is often employed during semi-hot weather, where the person still wants to cuddle wif you but would be too warm if he was totally spooning with you or fully nestling against you chest-to-chest.
