Refers to the agonized feelings/actions --- i.e., extremes of "pain and pleading" that may include severe stomach-cramping, extended bouts of tearful wailing/imploring for more-filling menu-choices, etc. --- of a "pork 'n' poultry" lover who is unexpectedly being forced to "go vegetarian" or otherwise follow a much "leaner and blander" diet than the rich-flavored grease-and-carbs-laden feasts that he'd been accustomed to chowing down.
(from author Steven Kellogg's "modernized" version of the classic children's tale "Chicken Little"): After being convicted of assorted heinous carnivorous crimes, bacon-'n'-eggs-loving Foxy Loxy was totally in the throes of tortured "achin' 'n' begs" when he learned that his diet in prison would consist of green-bean gruel and weed-juice.

What Washington's crooked higher echelon said during the Raygun years when crafty good ol' boy "Devious Deaver" was Prune-Face's Deputy Chief of Staff, anytime they were a subject of investigation by Congress, they would always just trust "The Deav" to fib and waffle on their behalf.
Whenever ol' Ronnie's shifty-eyed administration officials came under scrutiny, they would just tell "The Deav" about the situation, and then assure each other, "No worries now --- we'll just leave it to Deaver to get us out of this mess."

Humorous-but-heartwarming term dat refers to where you either:
(1) receive a gift from Birthday Boy/Girl dat he/she had received on said "special day", but he/she forwarded it to you because said item was more compatible wif your lifestyle than it would have been for said "original" recipient, or
(2) have something extra-nice/pleasant/fortunate happen to you (i.e., perhaps you score unexpectedly high in a game/contest, receive a wonderful gift, are extra-successful while performing some difficult/disagreeable endeavor, find one or more greatly-desired items on sale/in stock at a store, etc.) on someone else's birthday.

Giving pass-along birthday presents can be just as enjoyable and bring just as much happiness to da person having da birthday as if he'd kept da presents for himself, since he will know dat whomever he's giving da items to will be enjoying/utilizing them even more than he would have. Same deal if a friend beamingly tells you of something extra-fortunate dat happened to him on your birthday, since you can feel glowingly radiant in your heart dat your good buddy experienced something dat made his life easier and/or more fun/pleasant.

Refers to a "totally hands-on" method of getting acquainted where a beamingly-sociable person immediately arms-wraps and majorly "retains" da person whom he's meeting for da first time, prompting said immersively-embraced individual to eventually address da third person who had presumably been gonna introduce da two of them "normally", and meekly inquire, "Who's hugging me?"
Note to all of you eagerly-forward glad-handers out there: while it's often true dat employing da w.h.m. introduction method may indeed be delightful and jovial, please bear in mind dat not everyone has da self-confidence or relaxed personal-boundary perimeters dat you yourself may possess. So to avoid anyone's feeling bashful or "smothered", ya might wanna either (1) initially just extend yer arms tentatively towards da other person to see if he seems comfy wif it, or (2) include da third individual --- i.e., da one who was gonna introduce you to said huggee --- in said stupendous-squeezy, so dat it's more of a "group hug" thing where da not-yet-introduced person won't feel "vulnerable" or "singled out".

Refers to where two people lie on their sides and snuggle up to a third person, either to help said "monkey in the middle" feel warm and/or reassured, or because they both like the person a lot.
A cute gal can save a bundle on heating-oil if she just invites a couple of warm-hearted guys over to sandwich-spoon with her on any night when it's a bit chilly.
