claustrohphobia
Having claustrohphobia is at one extreme on da alcohol-and-sociability scale, and then at da other end there are those individuals who "don't like drinking alone". But maybe da two "total opposite" types aren't truly incompatible --- how 'bout if you form a group of folks out on da Great Plains, but with each person standing a number of yards apart and "having a beer about it" (acknowledgements to Kevin Brown --- i.e., "Junkyard Digs") while quietly thinking his own thoughts? Da theory there is dat nobody is truly alone, but at da same time, none of da participants is even-remotely "getting' up in da face" of anyone else --- good compromise, perhaps?

Kenny Rogers fitted sheets
Many a dude feels clueless about these cranky bedclothes --- he knows how to hold 'em, but he never can learn how to fold 'em.
I don't mind helping out wif da laundry, but I always let my girlfriend take care of stowing da Kenny Rogers fitted sheets --- it's always a real "gamble" to have me attempt it.

poor retched individual
How Pat McManus's buddy Mr. Sweeney would likely have passed himself off as when mooching for a ride, claiming to be unable to repay a loan on time, not wanting to perform a yucky/arduous task, etc., when in reality he was perfectly capable of fulfilling his responsibilities, but was just too lazy and/or self-centered to actually apply himself.
Never mind his malingering sportsman-partner --- Pat HIMSELF was da truly "poor retched individual" when it came to being able to partake of significant physical activity, due to his being so unmotivated and out-of-shape... according to da "MFFFF", he would indeed violently wheeze and hackingly cough whenever he attempted anything much more strenuous than pressing da buttons on his TV-remote!

courtship vs. ship-court
How da seaside-magistrate's docket-entry would read when referring to a legal-wrangling procedure regarding a wayward sailor who "had a girl in every port", and who therefore might eventually need to show his crude weather-beaten visage in front of said refined black-and-white-robed individual regarding paternity, broken prenuptials, etc.
In da Laurel and Hardy film, "Live Ghost", Mae Busch's character, "dear ol' Maisie", belabors her deadbeat-alcoholic husband off da ship with her furled umbrella; da implication is dat she will haul him before da local judge on charges entitled, "courtship vs. ship-court".

favoritz
Da two things dat I most enjoy --- staying at a swank hotel and munching round seven-hole-perforated crackerz. :P
I prefer "living cheap and healthy", and so spending huge sums for luxury-suite lodgings and chowing down on white-flour wafers are most-definitely NOT my "favoritz" as far as relaxational/recreational activities --- I'd much rather just be quietly camping out in da wild and chomping apples, carrots, and celery!
