A major case of red-eye caused by your staying up late obsessing over trivial parts-of-speech crap on da word-processor.
English teachers need to guard against developing conjunctionitis from fussing with ADjectives and ADverbs AD-nauseum!

A property-owner's-loan contract with terms that are so grievous and/or long-term that the only time you will likely ever be relieved of it is after you "shuffle off".
A clever early-'80's cartoon-example of a morgueage: a scowling bill collector is shown speaking to a "Here lies John Smith" gravestone: "And so I am warning you for the final time, Mr. Smith --- if we do not receive your payment within two weeks, we are gonna hafta take some STERN STEPS! Do you hear me, Mr. Smith?! STERN STEPS!"

What you verbally give your work-buddy when something you're attempting goes right, but you're currently "all yucky-messy" from the dirty/disgusting job you're presently engaged in, and so you don't wanna soil him by actually slapping his still-clean palm (i.e., he's not actually handling the greasy/muddy/gloopy items the way you are, but he's still providing needed assistance; perhaps he's aiming a trouble-light, occasionally actuating switches/buttons and/or operating other controls to test the device you're repairing, holding items like drapes or hoses/cables up out of the way so that you don't accidentally soil/damage them, etc.) with your icky hand. "I'll slap palms wif ya later, Pal, after I get washed up some --- consider yourself high-fived for now!"
A high-five rain-check can be a similar situation to a delayed hug, handshake. back-clap, etc... in all of these instances, you are merely postponing an appreciative/affectionate/encouraging/celebratory gesture until a more appropriate/convenient time. If you strongly wish to have the pleasant action administered right away, however --- such as if you feel that the person deserves immediate reward/gratification because of the exceptional effort/bravery he put out, or if he has to leave shortly --- a proxy-hug can sometimes be an adequate/reasonable option, provided there is an agreeable bystander present whom you can request to "do the honors" in your place.

A.k.a. "mustache". Refers to where you are imbibing Pure Leaf tea or other liquid-libation which contains yucky dregs that you'd just as soon not hafta gag down while quenching your thirst, and so you angle your head back and slowly pour the beverage onto your mustache so that your Fu Manchu bristles catch most of the drink's offending particulate while allowing the refreshing liquid part to seep down through your upper-lip caterpillar and into your open mouth. Depending on the quantity and concentration of said sludgy sediments, you may need to pause frequently to wipe off the accumulated residues from your 'stache with a paper towel, but this minor inconvenience is small potatoes compared to the acute tongue/throat discomfort of having to actually ingest said stringy/gelatinous goo along with your flavorful fluid!
Utilizing your facial-fur filter takes some practice, but just like the upper-lip valve method of swigging your bottled whistle-wetter, this technique can indeed be perfected through careful and frequent employment, and allow you to guzzle your drink "cleanly"; i.e., without gagging or spilling anything on your shirt.

Mrs. Wilson adores Dennis, and loves having him over for milk and cookies. Her cranky husband, on da other hand, has no patience for said freckle-faced skallywag, and therefore always wants to just "boo da pest".

An abnormal condition of yer peepers due to yer having eaten too MANY of those hairy orange veggies.
Mother: Eat your carrots, dear.
Son: Why should I, Ma?
Mother: They're good for your eyesight.
Son: How do you know?
Mother: Have you ever seen a rabbit wearing glasses?
(Well, that may indeed be a valid point, Mom, but what about bunnies who chow down on EXCESSIVE quantities of Mr. McGregor's vermilion-colored garden-produce, and develop carrotoconus?! Da famous story only talks about Peter's needing camomile tea after his jacket-losing misadventures, but it doesn't go on to tell if he also needed corrective lenses sometime in da future from consuming too much Vitamin A!)
