QuacksO's definitions
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!

Get the pro-boneomug. A question that parents should realize that they will have to resign themselves to frequently asking in the future if they decide to name their newborn son after his father.
Naming "Little Man" after Dad may indeed be a charming and awesome "father-son bonding" parental choice, but one should carefully consider the overall and "long-term" advisability of said decision, since it eventually will subject all members of the family to the burden of always having to ask, "Junior or Senior?" when they answer the telephone and the caller requests to speak to "John Smith".
