What da powers-dat-be feel would be in jeopardy if a child was allowed to occupy an excessive number of deep water-seeking shafts drilled/dug down into da earth.
Home-taught student: Da snooty public school officials stated dat da dey were concerned dat my "hellth, wellfare, and moreals" would be in jeopardy if I was allowed to stay home and receive my tutelage there, but DAT was a BIG laugh... as cruelly and unfairly as I had been being treated in school, it appeared dat da stated-but-not-actually-existing-at-home hazard was in reality MORE likely present AT DA SCHOOL... in other words, I always felt like I was indeed in a major "hell-hole" --- i.e., in a deep "well" --- while attending classes there, and I definitely felt that way a lot "more" often in public school than I did at any time while I was being home-schooled!

If you plop two glasses of a particular drink down on da table in front of both you and a companion, and then start greedily sucking up your portion, don't arbitrarily expect your seat-partner to resiprocate --- either he may not be thirsty, or he may not care for whatever liquid-concoction you've served him.

Get the resiprocatemug. A "huge" disappointment (or delight, depending on who you talk to) in da comestibles department when being given a container of munchies for satisfying yer hunger while watching da game --- you'd expected an oversize deep-dish of chips or other crunchy/flavorful snacks, but instead your health-nut-minded food-provider filled said cavernous basin wif boiled mixed veggies in broth!
Da term "souper bowl" could also refer to a treating-da-eater-to-a-round-of-sports-playing bribe, whereby a parent pays for a child's fun-session at da duckpin-lanes as a reward for wincingly chowing down on a large helping of slow-cooked peas and carrots.

Get the souper bowlmug. Elmer Fudd would have a field day in Albunny, New York; da only problem would be dat all of da local sporting-goods stores are probably owned by families who have fuzzy-animal-loving kiddos, and so they would probably refuse to sell Elmer ammunition for his infamous blunderbuss.

Get the primprovisemug. A male-human-caused hindering snag or other aggravating "hoop to jump through" that delays proceeding with a task or endeavor. Opposite of "herdle", a holdup caused by a female human.
A himdle is sometimes more difficult/time-consuming to overcome than a herdle because usually more men are in government-positions than women, and so more male officials may be involved with said snafu.

Get the himdlemug. Da act of a guy's loaning his sweater/hoodie/coat to a lady who is not warm enough; he is therefore obliged to be chilly himself, but by thunder he's being da lady's gallant white knight to think of her comfort above his own.
I always carry an extra jacket in my day-pack whenever I go for a walk with a nice lady during cooler weather, so that I won't have to practice shiverlry if a stiff breeze comes up.
