Can refer to one of two female-related issues:
(1) da women's-rights difficulties dat da likes of Susan B Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton helped overcome, or

Different gals have widely-varying types and levels of standards and expectations, and so a bachelor may face more or fewer herdles depending on which chick he's courting.

Get the herdlesmug. A.k.a. "yard sale". Often you can get good bargains on good-quality household items there, but you hafta always watch out for damaged/defective/worn-out items and inflated prices.
Brick-and-mortar shops do indeed usually charge a lot more for stuff than a front-lawn storefront, but yard-sale items usually don't come with a warranty or money-back guarantee, so it's kind of a trade-off..

Get the front-lawn storefrontmug. When Genuine Risk got bumped and otherwise illegally/unethically prevented from winning the Preakness and Belmont races, a Gallop Poll that was conducted afterwards showed strong support for the pretty little mare, and widespread outrage about the shameful ways she had been treated during those two races.

Get the Gallop Pollmug. Maybe if da two famous fairy-tale children had possessed preHANSEL tails, they might have been able to traverse da forest by swinging through da tree-tops, and thus they could have avoided feeling da reGRETELs of getting caught by da wicked candy-cottage witch, since she could not have reached them when they were up dat high.

Get the regretelmug. What the Wright Brothers and other early-aviation pioneers had to face every time they took to the skies in their primitive flying-machine inventions.
When airplanes were first being tried out at carnivals and trade-shows, many people were afraid to ride in them due to a perceived (and often-all-too-true!) "flight-risk". So a standard "grim grins" statement that these distrustful folks would make in retort/reply to an offer to climb aboard one of those airborne coffins was, "Yeah, sure --- I'll fly... if I can keep one FOOT ON THE GROUND!"

Get the flight-riskmug. Refers to the shameless act of stealthily sneaking along some distance behind a returnables-gatherer who is practicing the toss-across collecting method, and surreptitiously retrieving the bottles and cans that the gatherer has stockpiled on the other side of the road, along with any additional empties that are already on that side. By carefully hanging back far enough behind the collector and therefore staying out of his sight, the opportunist will likely never be observed, and thus the collector will be greeted with just a "barren" roadside all the way when he turns around to start bagging up his laboriously-collected empties on his trek back home again.
I usually try to start out at first light to collect returnables, so that any lazy-a** local delinquents who would want to "follow the money" will not even be awake yet, and thus they will not observe me or know to try following me around town that day to pilfer all my hard work.

Get the follow the moneymug. A "subjects photographed without their knowledge" show where you're given sweets to recompense you for having your picture taken.
Many children hate da whole "watch the birdie" ordeal, so using da "candied camera" method can help said ordeal feel less stressful.
