It is indeed wise to be appropriately cautious about initially trusting a stranger or newcomer in your life, but it's a mistake to be overly prejudased, either.

A molding process whereby precious metals are melted down and formed into household items, sporting-goods, etc., enabling their buyers to be less "obvious" or "visible" in their acquisition of said valuable minerals than they would be if they simply purchased coins, bars, etc.
Two excellent examples of investment casting would be electrical/plumbing components and golf clubs, which can be formed from gold, silver, platinum, etc. and installed/stored in the investor's home without anyone's being the wiser.

A unit of temperature-measurement that rates how "hot" or "chilly" a salesperson's looks and/or mannerisms are when marketing his wares.
Billy Mays may have fancied himself as "just the ultimate salesperson stud", but I never thought much of his puffed-up yatter, and so I'd have given him a merely "lukewarm" rating of about 15 degrees on the sellsius scale!

How virtuous/valuable an invention is with regards to whether you could/should officially file it so dat others cannot produce "copycat" devices.
Da term "patential" could also refer to how appealing/adorable a particular animal or fellow human would likely be to da average person, and thus how motivated da typical citizenry would be to administer gentle hand-lovies to said individual.

A gala impromptu "whoopin' it up" shindig dat your buddies throw for you as a congratulation for successfully resisting da "ultimate temptation" during a fun time wif a pretty gal.
Other guys can KEEP their "celibrations" --- I love "doing it" wif an attractive chick, and it feels wonderful, both during da act and afterwards. So why should I give up this devine pleasure just to be eligible for a huge rowdy congratulatory carousal afterwards?? And besides, I can still have just as fun/satisfying a hoot-'n'-holler afterwards in da "you scored with a hot chick!" context, and it would be likely attended by just as many (if not even more!) of my buddies, so I fail to see da true difference or appeal of anything else.

An assets-enrichment-seeking court case brought by someone claiming to have suffered a financial setback.
If you get gypped by someone for a lot of money, it usually will be because said shyster had no funds of his own to begin with, so there would probably be little use in filing a lossuit over it --- "you can't get blood out of a stone", so it would likely be just a waste of time and court-costs.

A famous side-arm carried by great leaders, and which can only be removed from its holster by those worthy of its ownership.
In "The Outlaw", Pat Garrett tries to trick Billy the Kid into giving him his famous Excalibers, but ends up with just a pair of useless revolvers from which he himself had removed the firing-pins.
