A "grim grins" way of describing da exorbitant amount dat an ex-spouse is often compelled to pay da person whom he divorced.
If "Wild Willie" Clinton had to pay child-support to all of da women whom he got knocked up over da decades, he'd sure hafta shell out big-time for "allotimony"!

To walk and/or act in an openly casual and self-confident (or self-IMPORTANT!) manner, causing irritation and/or resentment in others from your pert attitude; especially when:
(A) your arrival was unannounced/unexpected, and so those present were not prepared to conveniently receive or assist you, or
(B) you lack or did not bestir yourself to obtain the usually-expected experience, paperwork, preparations, credential-references, etc. for your requests to be reasonably fulfilled. or
(C) you have behaved/performed poorly in the past regarding matters similar to what you presently have in mind, and so your would-be providers are none too confident or eager to fulfill your requests.

Bank loan officer (crossly), "You know, you've got SOME NERVE waltzing in here asking for a loan --- three years ago we loaned you a million dollars to look for oil, and you didn't find a drop!"
Oil prospector (casually): "Could have been worse."
Bank loan officer (raising his eyebrows in annoyance): "And then two years ago we loaned you three million dollars to drill for oil, and you came up with nuthin' but dry holes that time, too!"
Oil prospector (shrugging): "Could have been worse."
Bank loan officer (giving a snort under his breath and beginning to twitch angrily): "And then last year we loaned you TEN million dollars to do more prospecting, and you STILL couldn't find any oil!"
Oil prospector (still as sunny and flippant as ever): "Could have been worse."
Bank loan officer (finally blowing his stack): "Why do you keep saying 'it could have been worse'?! We've lost nearly FIFTEEN MILLION DOLLARS through you!"
Oil prospector (smugly): "Could have been my money."

Refers to how well the doctor or nurse interacts with a reclining patient and makes him feel comfortable, reassured, and welcome at the hospital.
Extra points on a doctor/nurse's bedside manner if he/she is willing to actually climb in bed with the patient for a little while to soothe him and keep him company... snuggles/massages are usually expected; sex is optional but often gladly welcomed by the patient, who likely will then recommend the hospital to his friends for anytime they feel a need for "medical attention" themselves... a great way to keep the hospital-beds filled!! This "cuddles in exchange for praising the hospital" deal is a similar idea to a waiter/waitress's providing exemplary service to a diner-patron in hopes that said patron will give the staffperson a generous tip.

"No matter how many times that you and a smoker change places/locations while spending time together outdoors, the breeze is always gonna switch around and waft the tobacco-fumes directly past your face."
I absolutely totally love my new middle-aged lady-friend, but we both go absolutely crazy trying to avoid bothering me with the smoke whenever she needs a cigarette while we're going for a rowboat-ride or woods-trail hike --- sounds like a classic case of "Murphy's Law of Cigarette Smoke"!

"Social multitasking" --- spending "quality time" with two or more "close friends" (i.e., pals whom you are so comfy with that you don't mind being "up close and personal" with them.
Time-sharing can be lots of fun and wonderfully soul-soothing emotional support for everyone involved... for example, a big flexible-limbed dude can either take a relaxing country-lane stroll hand-in-hand with his two favorite chicks ambling placidly along on either side, or he can sit on a park-bench between his two blinky-eyed admirers and cradle one of the nice girls in each arm. Or a warm-hearted cutie can lift up her t-shirt and "suckle" two "milk-thirsty" guys at once, or she can lounge back into one guy's arms while casually draping her legs over into another mushy-hearted male admirer's lap so that he can massage her feet and knead her calves.
