purse-strings attached

Refers to a situation where you are expected to spend money if you want a gift, favor, etc.
Before you accept a seemingly-too-good-to-be-true offer/deal, you should carefully inquire as to whether there are any purse-strings attached to said proposal.

he needs more training

Or "He's on medication"... what it really means is that he's an a**h**e, but we don't want to admit it.
I always disgustedly roll my eyes when someone tried to play down someone's destructive/abrasive behavior by saying, "He needs more training", when I know very well that the person in question is simply a no-good jerk, and so no amount of "training" or "counselling" in gonna help him... if he's evil or selfish by nature, there's nothing that others can do to "reform" him; he himself has to WANT to change his ways before any positive progress can be made.

on arugular basis

How often a hippie back-to-da-lander chows down on veggietarian fare.

seine and puffering

Da "I fish, therefore I lie" exaggerations dat you sue a "large scale" angler for --- i.e., you haul his fibbin' a** into court regarding his "inflated" estimates of da size and/or number of da scaled seafood specimens dat he supposedly caught in his drag-net --- due to said outrageous reports' allegedly causing you undue distress.
If there were no outside witnesses to what a fisherman's catch actually looked like, then there's no way for you to prove dat he was making anything up --- in a judge's eyes, it's equally plausible dat his verbal statements regarding his super-successful day on da water could actually have been true, and so there would likely be little chance of your "seine and puffering" claim's triumphing in court.

fatness/fitness

One supposedly follows the other; only one letter difference to mean the exact opposites.
If you combine fatness/fitness, what do you get? "Fiatness"? Does that refer to an overweight person who drives a crappy subcompact car?

yackupuncture

Refers to where you "needle" someone to quit flappin' his gums all da live-long day!
In da next-to-da-last book in da 26-volume "Sweet Pickles characters" series, it details da jabber-jawing habits of a huge woolly horned mammal. Not sure if yackupuncture would have been overly effective in slacking his constant barrage of joking, opining, and complaining, since he obviously enjoyed "flooding da airwaves" so much --- perhaps "yakupuncture" might have worked a bit better in his case?

inspecter

Da position dat da politically-famous Arlen would have held if he'd moonlighted in crime-fighting.
If da well-known senator from Pennsylvania had been a part-time government-corruption investigator, he would have had a very busy job as "inspecter" if he'd checked out his scandal-ridden fellow congressmen!
