piece of mind

Cranial tranquility dat comes from either "having a girl in every port" or knowing dat you possess "holstered insurance".
Madea claimed dat --- by her being able to "get her Glock" at any time dat she felt da need for it --- she gained piece of mind regarding "da getters gettin' her"; judging by her perpetually-tense-'n'-temperish emotional state, however, I seriously wonder if said easy access to powerful weaponry actually had much if any calming effect on her.

expectorations

Refers to the hoped-for level of lung-declogging performance that you have when first taking medicines containing camphor, eucalyptus, and/or menthol.
Most over-the-counter congestion-relieving products are of fairly mild potency, so you should not have very high expectorations about them. Extended use of these meds, however, often can indeed help "loosen things up" in your respiratory system.

The weatherman smilingly gave a really "spicy" weather-temps forecast on the radio today, and so I just **assumed** (yeah, I know, I know... never a good idea!) that the wind was gonna be pleasantly scented with yummy delectable barbecue-flavors for a couple days. But it's actually had very little odor at all during this period, just as plain old ordinary air usually does... what a disappointment!

Cadillack

A luxury-car brand of four-wheeler, but not quite up to actual luxury-car styling or performance. Da infamous Cimarron comes to mind.
Some fancy-schmancy land-yachts were indeed really nice, but others were decidedly "Cadillacking" in one way or another.

Murphy's Law of "Junk"

"You can hold onto something for decades, and neither you nor anyone else will ever have a use for it, but then just as soon as you throw it out, either you will suddenly need it for something, or --- even more 'painful' --- **someone else** will come to you and humbly ask, 'Do you happen to have an extra ___?'" Rrrrrggggghhhhh----!!!
I'd had a couple of old 55-gallon oil-drums stashed in da garage for da past thirty years --- my grampa had given 'em to me when he and Gram were downsizing to move into an assisted-living apartment --- and they'd just sat there and gathered dust in da corner all that time. But then just two days --- TWO STINKIN' DAYS!! --- after I'd sent 'em to da crusher for recycling, a low-income neighbor dropped by and asked me if he could have them to use as burn-barrels --- guess dat was a classic case of Murphy's Law of "Junk" at work!!

sackrifice

Refers to what you hafta give up if you either:
(1) become an employee instead of an employer in Merry Ol' England, or

(2) you get married, become a nun/monk, or otherwise ''assume a position" dat precludes you from being able to "assume da position" wif just anyone of da opposite gender.
Tying da knot wif da gal of your dreams will bless you wif a life dat's so happy and fulfilling dat your no longer being free to get in on with just any random chick will seem like a comparatively small sackrifice.

isenglass

What windows are made out of in Middle Earth.
Glass is very breakable, so dey hafta post a regiment of "isenguards" at da factory where isenglass is made, to make sure dat nobody gets in to damage da fragile silicate sheets as dey come off da furnace-conveyor.
