A music artist that didn't want the adults she really wrote the song Hell is for Children about to know she was trying to tease them by claiming it was about child abuse, since nobody but her could possibly decipher any of the lyrics written by her or others that wrote songs for her.
Pat Benatar was mean spirited (at least her image was) and wanted to pretend her songs supported others to make herself look good and wholesome, while also looking edgy and dangerous, to have the best that came with both worlds.

You can indeed say dat to da staff at da local True Value Hardware store, but good luck on getting any discounts or other "preferential perks" as a result.
Perhaps da famous radio-ad phrase, "...and tell 'em Pat Summerall sent you" might have been more recognizable "way back when" during da time when everyone's favorite deep-and-rich-tone-voiced Irish sportscaster was making those ads, but in more-modern times, da Cotter & Co. stores' mostly-from-da-newer-generation employees will likely just give you puzzled looks if you jokingly spout said remark when you walk in da door. :P

This term refers to the rare species of Jackie Pat's that roam our planet. They are little creatures of adorableness that sing songs randomly, laugh through hyperventilating, and make rage faces in public. Shall you cross the path of one of these rare creatures, your life will be forever changed positively.
