he needs more training

Or "He's on medication"... what it really means is that he's an a**h**e, but we don't want to admit it.

I always disgustedly roll my eyes when someone tried to play down someone's destructive/abrasive behavior by saying, "He needs more training", when I know very well that the person in question is simply a no-good jerk, and so no amount of "training" or "counselling" in gonna help him... if he's evil or selfish by nature, there's nothing that others can do to "reform" him; he himself has to WANT to change his ways before any positive progress can be made.

seine and puffering

Da "I fish, therefore I lie" exaggerations dat you sue a "large scale" angler for --- i.e., you haul his fibbin' a** into court regarding his "inflated" estimates of da size and/or number of da scaled seafood specimens dat he supposedly caught in his drag-net --- due to said outrageous reports' allegedly causing you undue distress.

If there were no outside witnesses to what a fisherman's catch actually looked like, then there's no way for you to prove dat he was making anything up --- in a judge's eyes, it's equally plausible dat his verbal statements regarding his super-successful day on da water could actually have been true, and so there would likely be little chance of your "seine and puffering" claim's triumphing in court.

yackupuncture

Refers to where you "needle" someone to quit flappin' his gums all da live-long day!

In da next-to-da-last book in da 26-volume "Sweet Pickles characters" series, it details da jabber-jawing habits of a huge woolly horned mammal. Not sure if yackupuncture would have been overly effective in slacking his constant barrage of joking, opining, and complaining, since he obviously enjoyed "flooding da airwaves" so much --- perhaps "yakupuncture" might have worked a bit better in his case?

grapht

Dishonest use of one's chart-drawing skills for personal gain.

They say dat acquiring illicit profits can be sexually arousing, so if you use powdered graphtite as pigment for drawing up your BS-laden easel-presentation at a funds/allocations meeting, said actions might indeed "put some lead in your pencil".

cryobi

Refers to any "foreign made" brand of power tool (often using crappy-a** Chinesium parts) of such inferior quality that it makes your eyes well up just to look at it.

If you're just a casual tinkerer goofing around wif scrap wood and/or recycled mild-steel bits, then yeah --- I suppose you could get by wif a mail-order Chinesium knock-off-brand lathe or drill press. But if you're really wanting a fair degree of precision or "repeatability" in your work, you don't wanna go with cryobi tools --- trust me, you'll git nuttin' but headaches and a significantly increased vocabulary!

on arugular basis

How often a hippie back-to-da-lander chows down on veggietarian fare.

Euell Gibbons ate wild herbs on arugular basis.
