Get the allotimonymug. 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

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."

Get the Waltzmug. Everyone knows dat Gramma's baking is always da best, so her tasty flour-creations are ideal roll-models for aspiring cooks to emulate.

Get the roll-modelmug. "Crying poor mouth" in long drawn-out wails and whines, in an effort to deceive others into thinking dat you're "barely scraping by", when in reality you're merely a tightwad who actually has adequate assets to live/behave reasonably.
People who live in fancy houses and drive luxury cars are probably just being parsimoanious if they sorrowfully sigh dat they lack sufficient funds to provide occasional minor assistance to less-fortunate fellow humans.

Get the parsimoaniousmug. A "standard progression" of guilty feelings and regret dat one suffers due to his repeatedly performing unwise actions which he realizes are not sensible but still fails to learn/deviate from.
Da aptly-named actress who plays Blanche Devereaux apparently wasn't really all that much different in real life from her "bouncing from one guy to another" Golden Girls character --- Ms. McClanahan had quite a RUEtine of marriages and divorces, six in all!!

Get the ruetinemug. Da bu**s**t results of a lie-detector-test dat were unusable 'cuz da polygraph machine ran outta trace-scribing pigment.
Whenever da "good ol' boy" top-brass military officials had Ollie North submit to fibber-checking diagnoses during da Iran-Contra scandal, they always claimed dat said tests were inkconclusive... sounds to me like they either didn't wanna implicate "one of their own", or they were merely paid off to purposely sabotage da machine beforehand.

Get the inkconclusivemug. 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.
