developement
A progression in a saga which involves two lovebirds' running off to get married without their families' consent.
In "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn", Harney Shepherdson and Sophia Grangerford secretly slip off and escape across the river one night; this is a totally-unexpected developement which creates an uproar in both families.

I'm/he's/she's a Christian, so you can trust me/him/her
All the more reason not to trust the person... if the fact that someone is a "born-aginner" even has to be mentioned, then there must be something less-than-honest/honorable that said supposedly-clean-living person has to hide --- "methinks he doth protest too much"!
I have seldom if ever had any more luck with the honesty/integrity/consistency/reliability/kindness of someone about whom I was solemnly assured that, "I'm/he's/she's a Christian, so you can trust me/him/her"... in fact, if anything, these stuck-up Bible-thunpers often seem to be even BIGGER a**h**es than their "non-believer" counterparts! They think that "God will forgive them" for anything they do, and so they make little true effort to keep their word or otherwise treat their fellow humans with even basic decency.

required reading
Just another bu**s**t compulsory activity (like in-depth studying of history or science or chemistry) in school dat usually just wastes your time/energy/patience and very seldom has any use in future life or employment.
I imagine that "required reading" has often significantly contributed to childhood dissatisfaction and lack of bonding among siblings, since many a youngster has had to sadly play by himself because Big Bro/Sis had to study books instead of paying attention to said toddler.

elevenly
Da dreamily-contented "satisfaction-level" (it's a portmanteau-word that combines "eleven" and "heavenly") reply dat a super-relaxed chick gives an affectionate snuggly guy who is lovingly enfolding her in his arms and nestling her head against his warm fuzzy chest, and has gently asked her how good his cuddling-skills are "on a scale of one to ten, or from 'just so-so' to 'heavenly'".
supplementary scratch
A.k.a. "courtesy scratch"; it involves your helpfully scratching someone's back in a spot where he has difficulty reaching himself.
Giving someone a supplementary scratch is indeed a very nice gesture, but da prob is dat you cannot know where it itches on your friend's back, and so you may hafta do a good bit of "up/down-left/right" trial-and-error scratching till you finally hit da right spot.

metal fatigue
Cool dude, speaking comfortingly to his gloomily-slumped weight-lifting buddy who is feeling inadequate and guilty for "running out of steam" sooner than he thought he should while working out at the gym: "Don't knock yourself around too hard, Pal --- even da great 'Ahhnold' would get metal fatigue from bench-pressing for too long at a time."
