The Golden Rule
Two huge problems with The Golden Rule are:
(1) You cannot know what someone else prefers, so if you try to do for him what you yourself like, this does not mean that said choice of actions will be at all pleasant/agreeable for him.
(2) Few folks are actually going "practice the Golden Rule back to you", so if you attempt to "do the right thing" and give someone what you would want if you were in his shoes, he will likely just view you as a foolish sucker and take shamelessly advantage of you --- he will simply "take, take, take" from you till he's totally drained you dry, then stomp off in a huff without even a single word of appreciation or acknowledgement, and feelinglessly look for his next naive soft-heart whom he can exploitingly victimize for his own selfsish personal gain.

surf 'n' turf
Refers to how a majority of male couch-potatoes feel about their TV remote. It's a "guy thing", ladies, like vehicle-engines and road-maps --- you wouldn't understand.
Trying to get a "manly" dude to relinquish control of his remote is the ultimate test of bravery and an amazing display of temerity --- it's a "surf 'n' turf" issue here... the guy wants to "surf" the channels at will, and so he feels that the remote is his "turf" that he does not want anyone --- especially someone of the opposite gender --- encroaching upon.

1/7-turn mouse-pad rotation
Refers to where you temporarily spin your rectangular mouse-pad a fraction of a turn so that you can roll the mouse diagonally along the pad for maximum "continuous travel-distance" before having to lift the mouse and bring it back up to the top of the pad again. Useful for when you need to move the cursor farther than an entire "top to bottom" or "left to right" sweep of the screen, such as if the web-page is extra long/wide, or if you are needing to view the page with the magnifier racked up considerably.
I always set my cursor's travel-speed at maximum so that I usually don't have to move the mouse very far to navigate the entire screen-area; once in a while I have to look at a really long column of text or images (like if I'm reading a large volume of text or shopping for items on a lengthy catalog-page), though, and so I do a 1/7-turn mouse-pad rotation to minimize my having to perform "fresh-bite hops" with the mouse.

temperarily
Refers to a comparatively-brief period during which you perform/suspend a certain action/practice due to your being seethingly upset at that time.
I eventually became hot and frustrated while feverishly trying to rebuild my hydraulic floor-jack, so I temperarily took a walk down to the seashore to cool my brain, then strolled back an hour later and was able to successfully finish the repair.

batchelor
A single dude who mixes up his own bread/cookie-dough due to his having no women-folk around to do da baking for him.
If a batchelor becomes good enough at his cooking, potential spouses might find this ability attractive, especially if said ladies happen to be "lazy cooks" themselves, and so they wish that someone else would make dinner sometimes.
good behavior
Something you only need to maintain while you're in da slammer --- once you get released again, anything goes.
Once you get your imprisonment-sentence shortened considerably for good behavior, you can return to the street and then be just as bad as you please until you get busted again.
