Bambivalence 

Having mixed emotions about crossing a slippery surface, fearing that one might fall over and get hurt.
John : "We might as well take the short cut over the ice rink to get to the park. Walking around that SOB will take forever!"

Oscar: "Nah, man. I had a couple of six packs for lunch and my balance isn`t all that right now. On the other hand, it is a lot faster than walking around. Should we? What if I fall and break my ass?!!"

John: "Dude, you got bambivalence real bad!"

Back when I lived in upstate new york 

A meaningless, unimpressive, self-serving introduction. An indicator that the story about to be shared will be pointless and dumb.
Back when I lived in upstate new york, I also had to park on the street - on two occasions, we got enough snow, mixed with just the right plowing, that my car was lifted off the ground from so much snow being jammed underneath it.

Similar to TLDR
Sister: This meeting was to discuss the rough draft of my essay, where we discussed the subsidiary questions I added in my rough draft. We also discussed the relationship between my main title and the real-life situations I chose to use in my essay. We discussed the structure of my essay as well, specifically the Math AOK section and how it relates to the contradiction of the title. This second meeting was particularly helpful in discussing the implications of my essay claims and how to apply the title across various areas of knowledge. There were many sections of the essay that could have been cut down in wordiness and the ways of knowing required further and more in-depth analysis.

Me: Woah! TLDU!
