Refers to any debris-cluttered horizontal-topped item of furniture normally used for dining, writing/drawing, repairing/constructing, etc.
You can often tell the difference between a bachelor-pad and a couple/family-apartment simply by glancing around to observe how stuff is arranged --- if there's a lady in the house, everything will generally be neat and orderly, whereas a guy who lives alone will likely have at least one crap table where the flotsam and jetsam of typical everyday single-dude existence tends to gravitate to and then never see the light of day for months... he simply tosses his randomly-acquired tidbits there because at the time the items seem too precious/possibly-useful to discard, but then when he eventually has to rummage through his "treasures" to find some solitary item he put there six months ago, he face-palmingly wonders why he ever held onto most of the crap in the first place (extra points if he thought to drag over a wastebasket before beginning his "attack" on the pile).

A super-impressive dapple-coated horse.
Da "cookies 'n' cream" horse-breed has long been used for racing, and so there are plenty of "lollappaloosa" entries in da equine hall of fame!

Da ~2.2 pounds of flesh (hey, da original play was written a long time ago --- we gotta adjust for inflation, right???) dat a modern-day Shylock would have wanted to cut from Antonio's chest nearest da heart, which of course would have had fatal results.
Da term "killogram" could also refer to da Western-Union-type letter dat Achmed would send to someone.

Brighty and his friends don't actually grow much of a winter coat, so brayon wouldn't be so plentiful or easy to get as wool from a sheep --- a burro's hair doesn't grow very fast, and so you'd hafta wait longer between shearings.

An operation performed on the infamous late-18th-century sea captain and Vice-Admiral of the Royal Navy. Can also loosely refer to any surgery in which the distressed/exhausted patient feels like the rejected commander of a mutinied ship afterwards.
I told the doctor that I only had pleurisy and thus I merely needed some pain-killer, but he tried to convince me to have my appendix removed. He obviously just wanted to milk MaineCare for more operations than were truly necessary; I declined his Blighpass surgery.

Friends who can be counted on to "catch you as you fall" and/or "ease your descent" --- i.e., they'll always "be there for you" during times of emotional distress, offer helpful ideas/cautions, etc.
Anytime an on-line "friend" whom I have not met yet (and therefore I cannot be sure if that person is reliable or "for real") invites/requests/allows me to go and meet him somewhere, I always peruse the map to see if any of my "parachute pals" happen to live in that same general area, and if so, I call them up first to ask if I may make a "secondary journey" over to visit them for a while if the person whom I was going to meet during my "primary mission" is either a no-show or not sociable/reasonable to me... it helps make the trip not be a total waste of time and travel-expenses, plus I'll have a shoulder to cry on and soothe me in my humiliation and disappointment at my failed attempt to cultivate a new friendship.
