QuacksO's definitions
How someone of "conservative mind and superior morals" disapprovingly describes an excessively-butt-baring outfit that a young lady wants to wear to a social gathering of some kind, such as a dance, party, or school prom.
A lot of times when a middle-aged-or-older matron or neighborhood gramma cluckingly criticizes a teenage girl's somewhat-revealing gown as "just assking for trouble", one should seriously wonder if her real reason for objecting is that she is simply jealous that **she herself** no longer possesses a cute firm behind --- or maybe NEVER DID to begin with --- and therefore she is no longer "getting any" from the available hot hunks around town, and so she cannot stand to see a shapely younger filly gaily showing off her "merchandise" for all da raging-hormone-steeped youngblood-studs at da gathering to lust over.

Get the just assking for troublemug. An "mind playing tricks on your vision" experience where the viewer thinks he's present at "the other place".
Marty McFly opines that the dystopian wasteland which Biff's corruption and debauchery have created of Hill Valley is like the stompin' grounds of "The Grim Horned One", but Doc Brown assures him that it is indeed just their hometown, but that probably it really isn't that much of a Hellucination, since he cannot imagine that said "down below" locale would be likely to be much worse.

Get the Hellucinationmug. Refers to da "shout-out" phone call dat you make to one or more local homes/businesses during a power-outage, to ask if they are without electricity, also ("Are you folks in da Dark Ages, as well?"); this allows you to reliably determine if it is indeed a widespread outage, rather than it's being "just you" (i.e., where you would need to check your home's wiring/fuse-box for unseen faulty connections).
During an unexpected power-outage, most folks will likely be at least marginally patient/understanding if you want to check wif dem about whether their electricity is off, as well, but you should still consider carefully before making said call --- usually you will want to do so only if da current weather is fairly "calm 'n' balmy" and therefore a utilities-outage would not be expected. It is generally understood dat service-wires might be downed if there is heavy snow/wind, and so in these cases your "dark ages"-inquiry phone call might be viewed as somewhat of an unnecessary/frivolous interruption, especially since those other folks will themselves probably be experiencing moderate difficulties/concerns regarding said hiccup in da flow of "angry pixies", and so at da time they may be feverishly scrambling to "batten down da hatches" while waiting for da power to come back on again. Good luck trying to call anyone, though, since nowadays da phone and electricity are no longer such "entirely separate circuits" as they used to be, and so unless it's an extremely small and "localized" outage, your home-phone service will likely be out, also, if da electricity is off. Dat's an instance where mobile phones can be an alternative means of communication, since most cellular-towers have their own "dedicated" power-source dat will remain active even if da "regular" electricity is off.

Get the "dark ages"-inquiry phone callmug. An early-'40's-era Deutschland-based facility staffed by highly-skilled SS agents who could magically and instantly get a car to run and perform perfectly with just a simple touch. Just ask Baron von Trapp, who personally witnessed the group's miraculous mechanical-capabilities after he and his family unexpectedly encountered said group while they were pushing their automobile out of their driveway, and --- at his supervisor's command to "repair Herr von Trapp's car, so that it will start"--- one of the agents easily fired up the car's motor on the first try.
The Gestapo Garage may indeed have been exceptionally adept at making seemingly-disabled vehicles start up and operate perfectly, but the problem was that they tended to show up without your ever having sent for them, and performing "repairs" that you'd just as soon not have had done at that particular time.

Though inherently less competent/efficient than her plain-Jane co-worker Miss Blips, the drop-dead-gorgeous Miss Buxley always tries her best to do a good job so that her male-chauvinist "dirty old man" boss, General Amos T. Halftrack, will let her keep her job as a secretary at Camp Swampy, and thus she will not be obliged to debase herself by asking him for a renude contract, much as he would love to have her do so.

I often run into da classic "WHO'S walking WHOM???" scenareo when helping out my neighbors by leading their eager-to-be-out-and-about dogs around town on a leash, so I always opt for a harness instead of a collar, so dat I don't risk having said forward-tugging canines feel choked and breathless.

Get the WHO'S walking WHOM???mug. Due to the lax safety-standards back in the early 1900's, the great silent-film comedy-star Harold Lloyd had no idea that the smoke-bomb he was holding as a prop for a movie actually contained a live explosive, and so it nearly became a sfear of death for him.
