QuacksO's definitions
How young children view a school system whether da teachers "religiously" forbid them from either counting on their fingers or making "one, two, three, four, cross-slash" marks on paper to more-easily figure simple math-problems, in an attempt to train said students to work out sums in their heads.
One easy way to get around da Tallyban (i.e., count up/down one numeral at a time without tipping off your teacher dat you aren't merely working out da problem in your head) is to motionlessly (don't go making any rhythmic "ticking off da numbers" motions with any part of your body, as this will let slip dat you're --- horrors! --- **counting** when you're sposta be working out da math-equations just in your head!) hold your arithmetic paper flat against your desktop with both hands and with your fingers spread apart for easier counting, and then also-motionlessly (and silently) swivel your eyes from one finger to da next in order to count up/down as needed to figure out da answer to da equation.

Get the Tallyban mug.Refers to da stressful/humiliating "sudsing" dat da residents of a particular area painfully go through over and over during each and every election year, whereby they hafta sufferingly listen to all of da different candidates' make yackety-yack a blue streak and spew lofty proclamations and promises, only to have most or all of said glistening concessions come crashing down and be forgotten after one of da candidates actually takes office. Or in da case of especially blatant campaign-promise-breaking and/or serious political misbehavior, dat last word could instead be "retreat", as in, running off and hiding somewhere in shame/guilt/fear, either by the elected official himself when he knows dat his citizenry is mad at him, or by da sector of citizens who had voted him in and had enthusiastically touted him during da campaign as being such a great guy who was gonna step in and save da day, only for him to just casually renege on all of dat wonderful clap-trap and "practice business as usual".
Da term "blather, wince, repeat" could also refer to da "financial shampooing" chicanery --- i.e., money-laundering of campaign contributions --- dat "comes out in da wash" during or after da election.

Watching Crocodile Mick wresting reptiles may indeed be a novel experience, but seeing it too much at a time would be redundeency.

Get the niggligent mug.Da ability to understand and share the feelings of fellow humans with deminished ability to stand up for themselves.
We should all have at least some wimpathy for folks like Jon Arbuckle and George McFly; it's not their fault that they feel afraid to speak out or insist that they receive basic respect.
