Not everyone can afford to just "buypass" an unfortunate debacle; less-affluent folks may need to put their brains to work to figure out ways to buypass the actual/potential pitfalls --- i.e., get out of the situation "for free".

Where someone acts arrogantly/annoyingly "pious 'n' preachy" ("I'm as honorable as a parson!") when publicly interacting with others, but is in reality a totally selfish/dishonest jerk in his private actions.

An irritably-voiced court-statement.
Any witness who gets unwillingly dragged out of a more-pleasant/palatable locale to make verbal statements in court is bound to give a "testymony" at least some of the time!
