astronomical-cost retort

Refers to the mildly-indignant answer that you snortingly "toss back" at a seemingly-impertinent clueless who naively asks why you don't "just buy your way out" of a moderately-inconvenient/difficult/unpleasant situation, his not being familiar with the enormous financial outlay that said "easy-solution" choice/action would entail.
Two typical/everyday examples of an astronomical-cost retort would be with regards to having a garage come and pick up your presently-non-drivable vehicle instead of having a friend help you tow/push it the few miles to the garage with another vehicle ("Yeah, **sure** I could --- for a nice HUNDRED-BUCKS TOWING-CHARGE!"), or if you presently have to turn your well-pump on and off manually because it's "on its last legs" and so you always have to be "right there and ready" to quickly turn the pump back off to avoid damage if it doesn't immediately start up when you power it on ("Oh, yeah --- new pumps are indeed available --- you got an extra THOUSAND BUCKS OR MORE JUSS LAYIN' AROUND to get one installed??!"). Never fails to shut the impudent inquisitor right up!

The Astronomers

The Astronomers is composed of Ben Baker and Michael Stensland. We currently have no information on which is chaotic and which is calm, but they're still a really cool band that has an EP called Sinking Ships & Story Tales.
Person 1: You ever heard of The Astronomers?
Person 2: No, I actually haven't.
Person 1: You should go check out U F'd Up and Skywalking!
Person 2: What if I don't?
Person 1: You will have bad luck in finding good music, so you better go do it right now.

astronomical fraudfloppian

When a unit or character who used to perform really good ended up performing in such a horrendous way that it is completely justifiable to question their strength in the first place.
That is an astronomical fraudfloppian level of damage!
