PanDora the Explorer
Little Miss Márquez's ancient ancestor who took "exploring" to an excessive degree; thanks to her excessive inquisitiveness in wanting to know what was in The Forbidden Box, we all now have to suffer with negative/destructive tendencies in each other, such as greed, lust, jealousy, and so on.
Too bad that Epimetheus didn't install a padlock on the box of evil demons, since this might have prevented PanDora the Explorer from opening it and thus releasing all the horrible denizens contained within.

Dischenectady
The lesser-known "sister city" to the famous east-central New York municipality; its residents are known for being rather disjointed and unable to adequately focus their attention on community goals.
I hate boring routines and schedules, so Dischenectady, New York sounds like a perfect place for me to relocate to.

lovely day in pairadice
A "grim grins" remark made by a gambling-addiction counsellor when asked how his establishment is doing.
Gamblers Anonymous director: So far today, we've had two homeless men, five working-class folks without a scrap of food in the house, three grandparents who squandered their offspring's college-funds, and one "chronic" moocher come through our doors --- and their deplorable statuses are all due to their gambling addictions! Just another lovely day in pairadice!

Tai Babbleonia
A world-famous figure-skater who is also able to maintain a non-stop monologue during her performance on the ice.
I never cease to be amazed at how Tai Babbleonia can simultaneously concentrate on flawless blade-ballet and always think of what she's going to say next --- no "one track mind" for her, I guess!

collongitudinal
The "ninety-degree cousin" to "collateral", this term refers to the promise of intimacy (i.e., a "longitudinal" bodily-position) to someone in case you are unable to pay back a loan that you're asking him for.
One should always be wary of an offer of collongitudinal, since there is no guarantee that da gal will indeed "deliver da goods" if da time comes for said submission, any more than she can truly guarantee that she will pay back da loan, either.

follow the money
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.
