ratribution

Refers to da getting-even actions taken by either a cousin-of-da-hamster rodent against a human for trying to trap him, or by a human against said whiskered varmint for whatever destructive actions dat said human suffered at da greedy clawed little hands of said long-whiskered marauder.

Hippie's beloved furry white shoulder-dwelling buddy (or rather --- in recognition/deference to its dedicated-to-details owner's frequent, "It's a SHE!" gender-assertion/correction --- "buddyESS") might have felt like taking ratribution against Ensign Monk for using him --- I mean, I mean, HER --- as a "guinea pig" for da breathing-fluid demonstration.

Maine's "sheep town"

Or "you gotta pronounce it right" town --- to truly "talk Yankee" or "speak like a real Mainuh", you don't call it "BAR HARBOR" (by-da-dictionary speakers are looked at funny here) or "BAY HAYBUH" or "BUH HUHBUH" --- it's "BAAH HAAHBAH"!

Woolwich, Maine might also be jokingly called Maine's "sheep town", but I was referrin' to Baah Haahbah.

Father Dioreo

A famous (or infamous, depending on who you talk to) religious healer who used sandwich-cookies to improve da overall mood of his less-than-chipper followers.

Father Dioreo may indeed have caused his parishioners to feel better --- temporarily, at least --- after gleefully chowing down on da crunchy brown-and-white-layered confectionery TREATS dat he fed them, but in da end they would have actually been **worse** off than before they partook of said "TREATment": not only would da candy have likely done little or nothing to actually reduce da underlying cause of their suffering, but also they would probably have gained weight and gotten cavities in their teeth!

seine and puffering

Da "I fish, therefore I lie" exaggerations dat you sue a "large scale" angler for --- i.e., you haul his fibbin' a** into court regarding his "inflated" estimates of da size and/or number of da scaled seafood specimens dat he supposedly caught in his drag-net --- due to said outrageous reports' allegedly causing you undue distress.

If there were no outside witnesses to what a fisherman's catch actually looked like, then there's no way for you to prove dat he was making anything up --- in a judge's eyes, it's equally plausible dat his verbal statements regarding his super-successful day on da water could actually have been true, and so there would likely be little chance of your "seine and puffering" claim's triumphing in court.

Spain and uffering

What you sue a Mexican or Conquistador contractor for when he installs one or more grounding-rods incorrectly, poorly, in da wrong place, etc, therefore supposedly causing you undue distress.

If you don't wanna get your sorry a** hauled into court for an excessively-wet-locale code-violation --- and da resulting "Spain and uffering" dat da home/business-owner withstood --- when installing earthing-bars, you will need to steer clear of planting said lightning-dissipators into any area of da PLAIN, since we know dat da RAIN is known to pool up MAINLY on dat region of da country's topography.
