single-strobe light-flick

Refers to a "consideration for sleepers" action whereby --- in order to briefly look at something from the doorway of a pitch-dark room in which you know that one or more other humans are seeking a little shut-eye --- you first open up your own eyelids extra-wide to allow yourself maximum visibility, and then perform a super-quick "on-off" action (one-half-second at the absolute maximum) with the room's light-switch, so that you are able to check on whatever you needed to know (such as that there is nothing on the floor between you and the sleeper's bed, and thus you can safely tiptoe forward in the dark and crawl in with the slumberer without tripping), but minimize the disturbance of the sleepy person(s) by not having the ceiling-lamp lit long enough for him to even be much aware of it.
Considerate dude who's staying overnight at his girlfriend's apartment: I always use the "single-strobe light-flick" prior to re-joining Tiffany in her bed after I visit the Little Boys' Room during the night, just to make sure that neither of her cats has decided to stretch itself out on the floor of the bedroom. It avoids any unexpected "yowls in the dark", plus Tiffany tells me that she seldom even notices my brief room-illuminations, so that's a good thing.

conspirasee

A less-than-honest collaboration of two or more eyewitnesses.
In "My Cousin Vinny", our hero Vinny repeatedly demonstrates dat whatever people thought they saw was either not da case at all or hadn't even been clearly observed in da first place, and so he shattered any apparent "conspirasee" dat was trying to convict his innocent clients.

You must be this tall to ride (me)

Sarcastic reference to how some gals require guys' "equipment" to be a certain minimum length in order to be allowed to "climb in da saddle".
If you don't want a gal to tell you dat, "You must be this tall to ride (me)", then don't YOU tell HER dat SHE needs to have a minimum BOOB-size to satisfy YOU, either!

IRSIS

Da terrorist-run branch of da US government dat extorts usurious income taxes from poor and middle-class folks, while letting rich bugs go almost entirely tax-free.
With all da unequal distribution of wealth dat da IRSIS creates, we need more Robin-Hood-type folks to help even out da playing field a bit!

Muscleini

The notorious early-20th-century Italian dictator who terrorized his citizens by displaying his huge bicepses.
Maybe if Muscleini and Ahhnold had squared off, "Da Big M" might not have felt so high and mighty.

anachuracy

A less-than-true statement due to its having a significant "glitch in da timeline".
Da infamous "lady using a cell phone" silent b&w Chaplain film is a classic example of a supposed anachuracy; it has since been revealed --- by said lady herself, in fact --- dat da device in question was actually just a newly-invented two-way radio dat da movie's producer was having her try out.

Pap smear

(1) A public sullying of an innocent dude's name/reputation by falsely claiming that he is the father of your love-baby.
(2) A drop of blood or a cheek-swabbing that's applied to a glass lab-specimen-slide in preparation for a paternity-test. Often a follow-up action that's prompted by Definition #1.
A sneaky new way for a crooked doctor to generate extra income during "slow periods of business" is to solicit one or more local unwed mothers to involve a fairly-well-off bachelor in a Pap smear, so that said unfortunate dude will be obliged to hire said doctor to perform a paternity-test to clear his name.
