If Osama had "bin laden" with incorrectly-weighed merchandise while traveling, it might have been due to a tareorrist action.

A bean-counting "supervisor from Hell" who obsessively reminds his warehouse/store staff about "zeroing the scales" prior to weighing dry goofs.
Health-foods store employee: My boss frequently reminds me about resetting the electronic scale's digital counter every few hours, but I don't really view him as a tare-orrist... I know he means well (i.e., he cares enough about his customers to ensure that they get the full amount of product that they paid for, as well as not wanting to lose money himself by over-measuring), plus I also tend to be forgetful, and so his repeated refreshing of the idea in my mind enables me to make fewer dispensing mistakes.

Da horridly-acrid-mooded "horned monster" dat Linus's short-fused big sister becomes whenever anything doesn't go her way.
A classic "Lucyfer" moment:
Linus: I hate to mention it, but you've been awfully crabby since Christmas.
Lucy (scowling): Anybody who is at all sensitive is bound to have a post-Christmas letdown!
Linus (raising his eyebrows in a hopefully-shrewd expression): Isn't a post-Christmas letdown and being crabby really the same thing?
Lucy (outburstingly squalling at the top of her lungs, so that her mouth appears as a huge round black cavern): NOT AT ALL!!!
Linus (does his familiar "flip-flip" somersaulting over backwards in startled shock)

Marriage counsellor: I always advise my "starry-eyed lovebirds" clients to "look at the whole picture" --- i.e., consider the entire scope and details of marriage --- before deciding whether they would truly be a good match for each other... I'd sure hate to see their fairly-tale romance merely proceed from "I do" to "Adieu" like so many of marriages do these days.

Red Green states that women traditionally appreciate good home-cooked food that's prepared properly, whereas most men appreciate fast food because it's filling and fairly cheap, so you would seldom find a typical man involved in Arbytration.

Refers to an unwillingness to give up on your efforts to mooch off of someone (in other words, to get him to "open his purse" for you).
Sometimes the term "purseverance" can have a somewhat opposite meaning, as well --- it can also refer to the ongoing efforts that an overly-trusting person who actually HAS "opened his purse" to a neighborhood moocher feels compelled to maintain in an attempt to get said deadbeat to pay him back as he'd promised he would.
