Once digital movie-cameras got perfected to da point dat they actually delivered superior images to film, da celluloid-manufacturers were understandably less-than-thrilled about it; definitely a little conflickt of interest there.

Get the conflickt of interestmug. The greatest cop-out in the parent/grownup world, this phrase is uttered when the adult is not able/willing to address/alleviate a totally legitimate problem or concern that a child is complaining to him about. Even worse is if the adult uses amused/cutesy/sarcastic expressions and/or actions to accompany said invalid statement, such as giving the kid a couple quick pats on the cheek for "dismissive emphasis and finality", giggling while speaking, saying, "You wanna know what I *honestly* think?" beforehand, opining that "somebunny" needs the nap (which of course makes the child all the more upset and humiliated, since this makes it appear to the child that the adult is not even really listening to him or taking what he has to say seriously), etc.
Statement: You need a nap.
What is really meant: I don't have the time/money/authority/inclination to help resolve your problem, and/or the bratty/overbearing person who is mistreating you is related to a "somebody" who is important to our family, and so I don't dare make a scene or try to demand that you be treated better by him. But I'm afraid to be truthful with you about this because I've always promised you that I will protect you and correct any wrongs in your young life, and so if you find out that I was "just saying that" but actually am not always able/willing to help you in every case, you will hate me as a parent and never trust me again. Same thing happened with me and your grandparents when I was little.

Get the You need a napmug. Denotes da no-longer-current status of whatever stupid-a** topic dat someone is bawling and blubbering about.
It was indeed unfortunate dat President Lincoln got assassinated, but dat event happened almost 160 years ago, so it seems like kind of a sobsolete event to get tear-floodingly emotional about.

Get the sobsoletemug. A large clean towel that you carry with you while strolling the beach, and then drape around the shoulders of any cute chicks whom you meet prior to giving them a hug, so that you don't hafta endure any disgusting yucky-sticky skin-to-skin contact with sweaty/oily arms, necks, chests, backs, and shoulders during said embraces.
I find that bathing beauties are much more willing to give me a hug when I bring along an embracing-towel; I even occasionally receive a warm-hearted compliment from da chick for my being "such a perfect gentleman" to think considerately of her like that.

Get the embracing-towelmug. "A device that you're repairing will operate **absolutely perfectly** while you have it taken apart to work on it, but then when you get it all put back together and have all the cabinet-screws re-inserted, THAT'S when the device will decide not to work again."
To lessen the chance of getting "bitten" by Murphy's Law of Post-repair Reassembly, one should double-check everything on a refurbished device before putting it back together again.

Get the Murphy's Law of Post-repair Reassemblymug. Some Grammafications are right on da money, such as dat you'll likely get injured if you run in locations dat are unsafe for moving at a greater-than-walking speed. Others, however, are not so rooted in actual solid fact, such as dat you'll run a high risk of getting polio from playing in a clean dry roadside ditch, or dat if you keep crossing your eyes, they will stick that way.

Get the Grammaficationsmug. What da robed-and-hooded monastery-men actually are most of da time (why do you think they traditionally make wine?!??).
Maybe their official title begins wif da letter "M", but many of da robed holy men are actually "dronks" --- heck, they HAFTA be totally soused 24/7, in order to not go totally crazy with cravings for warm soft female flesh!
