A stick of candy dat you bribe someone with in order to keep him from being "convinced otherwise" by one or more fellow humans who might try to get him to change his presently-in-agreement-with-you viewpoint.
Anti-sway bars can indeed sometimes be an effective way to keep someone "on your team", but it can also prevent said person from honestly pondering a particular topic or issue and then forming his own unbiased opinion about said subject, similar to how main-stream religion often does.

Youth-camp chef: Preparing simple pre-packaged meals for da kiddos does indeed get kinda methawedical after a while, but seeing da delighted looks on said pint-sized people's faces as they're eagerly chowing down on said tasty comestibles --- and hearing them gleefully exclaiming about how good da food is and thanking me gratefully for preparing it for them --- makes said semi-drudgery all worth it.

What someone of questionable honesty tries to be by yelling, demanding, threatening, or otherwise coercing others.
It's unbullievable how much Biff Tannen was able to continue pushing George McFly around even into their middle-age years.

An irrationally-biased/prejudiced/hateful attitude regarding "foreign" incandescent bulbs which contain any of those "fancy gases" like xenon; said closed-minded person prefers instead to simply stick with "regular 'n' domestic" plain-tungsten-filamented lamps.
I haven't really got anything to say against modern technology, and I certainly don't possess xenophobia, but I do still prefer just the "bargain-basement" tungsten-halogen lamps as opposed to the much-more-expensive --- and often far more power-thirsty --- gas-filled bulbs; besides, I don't like blazingly-brilliant headlights overpoweringly boring holes clear through my skull when I'm merely trying to peaceably tootle my way home, and so I wouldn't wanna use those beastly-bright "second sun" lamps, anyway, since then I myself would be making it harder for other drivers to see, as well.

What an unappreciated oars-operator feels like when he is always tasked with powering a skiff when one or more other humans wanna go for a paddle on da lake.
Parent: Now, children, we all need to take turns powering the boat today --- I'm not a "rowbot"! Everyone needs to pitch in equal shares of the work involved in a recreational activity, along with partaking of just the fun parts --- you aren't gonna expect ME to do all of the drudgery stuff! Any more than I should be expected to always haul the sled back up the hill in the wintertime when you all wanna go gleefully whizzing down it!

Describes da "teed off" emotion dat Goldfinger felt after James Bond slickly "bunted" da game-win from him at da eleventh hour by secretly switching da golf balls during da final round.
Goldfinger had zero room to talk about his feeling "forelorn" at losing da game due to Double-Oh-Seven's sneakily switching da golf balls on him, in dat HE HIMSELF had been knowingly cheating, also, by having Odd Job hide extra golf balls in his pants-leg to surreptitiously drop onto da green in da event dat his boss lost a ball in da rough.

A memento dat you save to reminiscingly remind you of a successful court-battle dat you were involved in sometime in da past.
If you saw all of da pathetic and arrogance-themed suevenirs dat many crooked lawyers accumulate over da years of practicing (or should I say, "mangling") law, you would be totally sickened and disgusted.
