Make-under 

When a person's look is overdone to the point of being unattractive, a make-under can help them figure out how to rock a more natural look. This term is usually applied to women, but I've met some men who are in dire need of make-unders too. A make-under usually involves a more natural makeup look, working with one's natural hair color and texture (or a natural looking hair dye job). It can sometimes involve stopping expensive habits like spray tanning, and a less gaudy or revealing wardrobe.
Megan wears way too much eyeliner and her foundation looks caked on. Her extensions don't match her hair and her clothes look like she's trying to give Lil' Kim a run for her money! She goes spray tanning every week too. She is in desperate need of a make-under!

Make-under 

When a woman deliberately alters her appearance to make herself less attractive to men. A strategy of dealing with unwanted sexual interest from single men.
"By wearing baggy clothes, changing her hairstyle and wearing glasses, that woman who looked like a young hottie last time I saw her now looks like a housewife in her mid-30's! She did a good job of her make-under!"

I ask for you to make an effort to understand me 

A succinct phrase that unfortunately has to be used whenever a person, despite already doing the best you can to make your point clear, has misinterpreted your point.

Using this phrase is almost essential nowadays when you try to express your opinion on the internet.
Internet user 1: So what you're saying is that people aren't allowed to have personal opinions?

Internet user 2: I ask for you to make an effort to understand me. I am not saying that people's right to freedom of speech should be taken away, but rather that free speech should have limits. Hate speech crosses that limit.

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.
