QuacksO's definitions
The level of urgency/importance of that one feels for travelling to and/or conducting business in Peoria, Illinois.
Dunno why dat Decatur dude makes it such a Peoriaty to run most of his errands at just that one city --- there are lots of much-closer cities and sizable towns located all around his area, and they all contain branches of the same businesses and government-offices that he frequents during his visits to Peoria.

Get the Peoriaty mug.Tronald Dump was frustrated with Andrés Manuel López Obrador's lack of cooperation regarding paying for construction of The Wall; da obvious mexplanation was dat Mr. Obrador's government perpetually-depleted coffers simply could not afford da astronomical cost of said construction. Well, DUHHHH --- illegal migration to da USA was such a problem PRECISELY BECAUSE Mexico didn't possess da capital to adequately support all of its citizens in da first place!

Get the mexplanation mug.If you study human history extensively, you're Ottomatically gonna run into a lot of dudes wif da "two d's and two t's" palindrome name.
Da blow-up pilot in da comedy "Airplane!" was supposed to Ottomatically take care of flying da plane, but at best he did a mediocre job of it.

Get the Ottomatic mug.A child/teenager's most dreaded words to hear when travelling in the car driven by an irate/irritated parent or other authority-figure, and having asked either "Where are we going?" or "What are you going to do?" This hotly-uttered reply indicates that the adult is either feeling guilt-ridden about the fairness/appropriateness of whatever horrid/torturous action(s) are scheduled for the trembling youngster, or else he does not wish to debate/argue about whatever is in store for said wretched passenger, and so he does not want to reveal the details until the last minute.
When a parent/grownup snaps, "You'll find out when we get there!", usually it means one of four things:
(1) You'll be sent to either a doctor for painful/invasive "treatment", or suffer a long/boring lecture with one or more emotionless preachy counselors who don't seem to truly listen or even care about you personally.
(2) You'll be forced to perform one or more difficult/unpleasant/exhausting tasks.
(3) You'll be compelled to spend hours with one or more fellow humans who are of exceedingly undesirable-to-you nature, and/or who will be super-strict with you, feed you insipid/minuscule meals, forbid/severely limit fun activities, etc.
(4) You'll be subjected to horrendous punishment/discipline of some sort. Keep in mind, however, that physical punishment has been outlawed in many areas and is now widely frowned upon, so hopefully you will not actually get beaten, slapped, or otherwise physically traumatized. You may, however, be made to publicly apologize to a lot of people, stand for hours on a street-corner with a huge "I like to ___ whatever misbehavior you're accused of" sign, etc. Be sure to keep notes, take photos/video, and/or otherwise document all events as they occur, however; not only will this make your tormentors reluctant to incriminate themselves by "going too far" in their harshness, but it will also give you proof to file formal complaints with appropriate authorities afterwards if you feel that your treatment was undeserved/illegal/excessive.

Get the You'll find out when we get there mug.An operation performed on the infamous late-18th-century sea captain and Vice-Admiral of the Royal Navy. Can also loosely refer to any surgery in which the distressed/exhausted patient feels like the rejected commander of a mutinied ship afterwards.
I told the doctor that I only had pleurisy and thus I merely needed some pain-killer, but he tried to convince me to have my appendix removed. He obviously just wanted to milk MaineCare for more operations than were truly necessary; I declined his Blighpass surgery.

Get the Blighpass surgery mug.Friends who can be counted on to "catch you as you fall" and/or "ease your descent" --- i.e., they'll always "be there for you" during times of emotional distress, offer helpful ideas/cautions, etc.
Anytime an on-line "friend" whom I have not met yet (and therefore I cannot be sure if that person is reliable or "for real") invites/requests/allows me to go and meet him somewhere, I always peruse the map to see if any of my "parachute pals" happen to live in that same general area, and if so, I call them up first to ask if I may make a "secondary journey" over to visit them for a while if the person whom I was going to meet during my "primary mission" is either a no-show or not sociable/reasonable to me... it helps make the trip not be a total waste of time and travel-expenses, plus I'll have a shoulder to cry on and soothe me in my humiliation and disappointment at my failed attempt to cultivate a new friendship.

Get the parachute pals mug.Da ~2.2 pounds of flesh (hey, da original play was written a long time ago --- we gotta adjust for inflation, right???) dat a modern-day Shylock would have wanted to cut from Antonio's chest nearest da heart, which of course would have had fatal results.
