Huge sturdy packing-cases specially designed for humanely shipping large water-loving herbivores. Invented by the famous ancient philosopher.
Too bad Hippocrates wasn't born more recently, or his animal-transporting invention would have been much easier to create --- he could have just lined a number of modern large metal shipping-containers with foam-rubber, added fresh-air vents and some form of toilet-fixture, and voila! --- hippo crates.

A prejudicial idea from lunatic-fringe purists who believe that all recorded sound should be in mono and that all books should be in single-column format.
Stereotype can also refer to a form of keyboarding whereby two parallel columns of text are formed on each page of a larger--than-usual book, rather than just one cumbersome page-wide block that fatigues your neck from having to zip yer head back and forth to read the long lines.

That family has traditionally possessed fairly-decent-looking calves and ankles, but they also have to deal with shaving lots of body-hair every week --- guess that's leggacy for ya!

One of da infamous "chief misbehavers" in da Iran-Contra Affair, his main sin in da torrid mess was spending excessive taxpayer-funds on fancy restored '50's-and-'60's-era Ford sport-sedans.
Judging by his disgraceful actions during Iran-Contra, it appears dat Robert McFairlane is addicted to cars, similar to Tim the Toolman; maybe they should BOTH check into da Henry Ford Clinic.

Parent of young children: I was in total hysterics after my 6-year-old son tried out his barbering skills on his little sister; fortunately, however, the town barber was able to preform an act of total hairoism on said cranial-makeover disaster, and thus make Little Daughter's tresses look tolerably dignified till they grew out again and could then be re-styled back to normal.

May refer to either:
(1) The only variety of lettuce that sugar/salt/meat-'n'-potatoes-loving Homer and Bart can manage to choke down.
(2) Any biological offspring fathered by "The Juice".

According to reference.com, ol' Juicy has had four children... zheeesh, the very thought of that many black-seeded Simpsons running about gives me the willies! Let's just hope none of them ever turn out like their hot-tempered and socially-irresponsible papa, eh?

The urge to camp out in the woods for a comparatively short period of time ("TEMPorarily live in a TENT"); this feeling usually develops when your presence at home would be undesirable/inconvenient, such as when you're wanted by the cops, or your over-the-age-of-legal-adulthood status interferes with your family's receiving state/federal assistance. This craving to "rough it" is usually fairly easy to fulfill if the weather is reasonably mild, since all you'll need to adequately survive is a small tent and a few clothes and blankets and other basic accessories. Plus in most cases your house is not going to be watched 24/7, and so usually you can sneak back home for midnight visits a couple times a week to shower and replenish your food/toiletries before slinking back to your remote campsite, while still allowing your family members to truthfully tell the authorities, "Oh, he doesn't live here anymore" if they come asking about you during the daytime. And then, once the heat is off (such as when "they" eventually give up looking for you, or after the desired government-assistance is supplied), you can quietly return to your home, and then keep a fairly low profile till the community gradually becomes re-accustomed to your presence.
The regulations for low-income-family assistance are not written with human reality in mind, and so there's a lot of temptention for assistance-seekers to "remotely conceal" various family members while the eligibility-evaluation proceedings are being carried out.
