Friends who can be counted on to "catch you as you fall" and/or "ease your descent" --- i.e., they'll always "be there for you" during times of emotional distress, offer helpful ideas/cautions, etc.
Anytime an on-line "friend" whom I have not met yet (and therefore I cannot be sure if that person is reliable or "for real") invites/requests/allows me to go and meet him somewhere, I always peruse the map to see if any of my "parachute pals" happen to live in that same general area, and if so, I call them up first to ask if I may make a "secondary journey" over to visit them for a while if the person whom I was going to meet during my "primary mission" is either a no-show or not sociable/reasonable to me... it helps make the trip not be a total waste of time and travel-expenses, plus I'll have a shoulder to cry on and soothe me in my humiliation and disappointment at my failed attempt to cultivate a new friendship.

How Walkabout Mick's audience would have viewed his performances if he'd presented the same acts too close together.
Watching Crocodile Mick wresting reptiles may indeed be a novel experience, but seeing it too much at a time would be redundeency.

Refers to assorted stupid-a** bu**s**t salvage/repair labors performed by an unqualified dips**t who hasn't a bleepin' CLUE what he's doing, and so he ends up creating even MORE corrosion and/or damage to the item than it had BEFORE he got his clumsy cotton-pickin' hands on it.
I did my best to carefully disassemble an antique vacuum-cleaner to repair the frayed cord, but then I couldn't get the beastly thing to go back together, and so I ended up having to buy a whole replacement machine --- I felt like such a rustoration-jerk!

Soaking my feet in warm Epsom-salt-water seems to do okay for me so far, so I think I'll skip da Novocane for da foreseeable future.

If Marty McFly hadn't intervened during his father's teenage years, George might have suffered from spinal biffida later in life, since it appears dat da Tannen legacy of running roughshod over fellow "spineless" humans even lasted into said loudmouth's "golden years"; we saw how he treated Marty, Jr. (well, at least da dude who he THOUGHT was "Little Man") --- verbally abusing him, bonking him on da head with his cane, etc.

What fake-doctor Baldy Fatso McGraw does with da social issues of his guests, rather than actually trying to creatively/constructively solve their problems.
Da hilarious "counseling session" exchanges with Madea were classic "Philibuster" examples --- lots of words spoken, but no actual progress made.
