An operation performed on the infamous late-18th-century sea captain and Vice-Admiral of the Royal Navy. Can also loosely refer to any surgery in which the distressed/exhausted patient feels like the rejected commander of a mutinied ship afterwards.
I told the doctor that I only had pleurisy and thus I merely needed some pain-killer, but he tried to convince me to have my appendix removed. He obviously just wanted to milk MaineCare for more operations than were truly necessary; I declined his Blighpass surgery.

Anytime an on-line "friend" whom I have not met yet (and therefore I cannot be sure if that person is reliable or "for real") invites/requests/allows me to go and meet him somewhere, I always peruse the map to see if any of my "parachute pals" happen to live in that same general area, and if so, I call them up first to ask if I may make a "secondary journey" over to visit them for a while if the person whom I was going to meet during my "primary mission" is either a no-show or not sociable/reasonable to me... it helps make the trip not be a total waste of time and travel-expenses, plus I'll have a shoulder to cry on and soothe me in my humiliation and disappointment at my failed attempt to cultivate a new friendship.

Get the parachute palsmug. Da ~2.2 pounds of flesh (hey, da original play was written a long time ago --- we gotta adjust for inflation, right???) dat a modern-day Shylock would have wanted to cut from Antonio's chest nearest da heart, which of course would have had fatal results.
Da term "killogram" could also refer to da Western-Union-type letter dat Achmed would send to someone.

Get the cerVicks™mug. A huge roadside-sign advertising assorted products/services dat are usually grossly overpriced and/or are seldom of any interest to you; about all it does is distract you from concentrating on da road properly, and give you higher credit-card "bills" if you actually partake of any of said profferings.
Besides filling your head wif useless crapola-thoughts and possibly creating a drain on your finances, billboards --- especially da "modern-technology-equipped" signs wif blindingly-bright and/or colorful/moving lights --- are also very dangerous to driving-safety, for da following reasons:
(1) Da signs distract you from concentrating on da road and surrounding traffic, especially if they are flashing super-brilliant colors directly in your eyes.
(2) Da signs can cause you to unconsciously go into "sign-ignoring mode" as a matter of "survival" against distraction/blinding, which tends to make you also not notice or pay little heed to traffic-rule/advisory signs dat you’re required by law to read; it's sorta like da "fake Amber Alert" messages (think, da infamous/voluminous "Ashley Flores" notices) dat tragically cause some viewers to impatiently ignore genuine missing-child notices, contemptuously assuming dat all da notices they see are now just fakes. Da ad-signs can also cause you to miss your lane-changes and/or exits, especially if there are brightly-lit boards right near your desired turn-offs which temporarily blind you and thus make it harder for you to make out da exit-signs.
(3) Other drivers in da surrounding lanes may be trying to read da billboards, as well, and so their resulting distraction can cause dem to drift out of their lanes, slam on da brakes to get a better look at da signs, etc., potentially causing you to collide wif dem, or dem to crash into you.
