Keep off the grass

What a gal says to ask you not to "proceed to fourth base" --- i.e., not encroach on her "thatched" area.

If a hot chick tells you to "Keep off the grass" during intimacy, giving her a "joint of grass" might addle her brain enough to make her change her mind.

mailstrom

A humongous debacle/scandal caused by negligence/laziness/corruption on the part of the Postal Service.

With all the mailstroms that have been talked about in the news lately, I'm almost afraid to mail a letter, for fear that there will be some stupid-a** delay or "returned to sender" screw-up with my envelope's delivery!

fantam

An expertly-surreptitious individual who "invisibly" sneaks in and snitches soft drinks from da fridge.

Matt Wetzel (Matt's Offroad Recovery/Winder Towing) and Paul Cox (FabRats) have a running-gag "fantam" scenario in their YouTube videos, whereby Paul often secretly removes one or more cans of Mountain Dew from da refrigerator in Matt's repair shop when he drops over for a visit. Of course, it is not actually a problem because (1) Matt is always more than happy to share his liquid sustenance with his 4-wheeling-adventures buddy in any case (plus of course, Paul is always willing to "drop everything" and go to rescue/assist Matt free-of-charge if he gets in a jam, and vice-versa), and (2) the two families often get together for barbecues and desert-racing/rock-crawling adventures, where they freely share food with each other.

If the vertical boards at the edge of a roof have excessively/prematurely rotted or loosened, that's considered prima fascia evidence that the carpenter did shoddy work.

personal bowndaries

What you should take care to not invade if you choose to employ da ultra-dignified/respectful bending-low-at-da-waist gesture during a "meet 'n' greet" encounter wif one or more fellow humans.

It's a prudent maneuver to back up slightly when giving da traditional east-Asian salutation, to avoid invading anyone's personal bowndaries.

...and tell 'em Pat Summerall sent you

You can indeed say dat to da staff at da local True Value Hardware store, but good luck on getting any discounts or other "preferential perks" as a result.

Perhaps da famous radio-ad phrase, "...and tell 'em Pat Summerall sent you" might have been more recognizable "way back when" during da time when everyone's favorite deep-and-rich-tone-voiced Irish sportscaster was making those ads, but in more-modern times, da Cotter & Co. stores' mostly-from-da-newer-generation employees will likely just give you puzzled looks if you jokingly spout said remark when you walk in da door. :P

carsinogen

A tissue-destroying substance dat is produced by not behaving yourself.

If swearing and/or lying is a carsinogen and thus risks creating cancer of da mouth, does washing out said speaking-cavity wif Ivory soap eliminate da risk?
