People with compulsive shopping disorder are often unaware --- or at least unwilling to admit --- that they even HAVE the problem, and therefore, autobuyography-writing is rare among these individuals; they are often obliged to have outside observers --- who DO perceive the financially-unwise patterns in the affected people' lives --- write the compositions for them.

A famously "tough-but-fair" TV-court judge who really "kicked a**" when it came to laying down da law.
I always believe in liberal leniency when it comes to arbitrating from da bench regarding minor wrongdoings or unintentional/unavoidable violations, but sometimes it takes a real Joseph Whopner to adequately/effectively take hardened criminals and habitual offenders to task for their serious/repeated transgressions.

To get back at someone you're steamed at by altering da amount, number, weight, or volume of something.
Da clerk at da hardware store put too few screws in da bag last time, so I retallyated by putting too MANY screws in da bag this time --- i.e., claiming dat there were fewer in da bag than there actually were.

Gonna try my luck at stream-angling, but I know dat it can be a long and boring ordeal, so I think I'll take along a couple of Mack Jigger albums to listen to.

The "ultimate manipulative phrase" that self-centered/dictatorial people use to try to pressuringly persuade others to acquiesce to their wishes, usually with purely selfish intentions, and often with disastrous results. Alternatively phrased with equally false/deceitful statements such as "Well, I prayed about it, and God told me that this was what you should do" or "Well, if you really love God and are a true Christian, you would do this", it is generally designed merely to guilt-trip someone into performing an unreasonable/dangerous/potentially-injurious action which usually ends up merely benefiting the requester, while laying excessive burden/risk on the reluctant provider.
Teenage daughter: I don't like this man; I don't want to marry him. He's way too old for me, and I have glimpsed his "other side" a few times, and it ain't pretty. I'm too young to think about stuff like that yet, anyway --- I want to enjoy the social dating scene first, and meet lots of nice guys before I choose a permanent spouse.
Parent: Well, your father and I prayed about it, and it's God's will that you marry this man.
Teenage daughter: Yeah, right --- **sure** you did! Just like your other relatives did when THEY got married --- and look what miserable relationships a lot of THEM have now! They're locked into unhappy marriages that they can't get out of because **God** wouldn't approve of a divorce from one of his *sacred unions*!! Nice try, Mom --- no THANKS!

Clandestine observation of one or more people of interest, performed under da guise of merely asking for people's opinions or mapping out real-estate parcels.
If da Feds are carrying out surveylance in a particular area, they would do well not to wear their official uniforms underneath their "ordinary workman" outfits, since (1) said double-layered clothing could get hot and/or bunchy, and (2) keen-eyed crooks might notice da disguised agents' suspicious-looking garb and become wise to said government-men's true identities.
