When the creepy guys watched the women dancing, they communicated with each other in a creepy leer code.

Don't knock that singer, he's one of the lead folk in a major band.
DD begged me to buy her new clothes.
Ah, Gil! I'm almost ready, just let me put in my earrings.
Spending $$$$ on coats for the kids is a thorn in my side.
If you're so needy, why did you buy dd an American Girl doll? And why do you cook with Evian water if you're destitute? Annie, you're rushing, not walking, to the poorhouse.

If you want to get technical, any number of posts above "work" only if you know what accent the writer is using.
A New Yorker would say
"spoiled chicken guts smell offal"
but if you're from the Midwest, you'd contribute
"Don't cut off your nose to spite your face"
while a Brit would chime in "After you sneeze, wipe your nose."
(There was a post in the romaine lettuce thread from a Brit , very funny joke about eating US dollars in lieu of the veggie. Being a Brit, she wrote about the shortage of romaine "letters", which final-r-dropping Brits and New Yorkers pronounce almost the same, but to final-r-retaining people makes no sense.)
"the dead man was found on Thirty-third Street" would make sense only to a long-time dyed-in-the-wool Brooklynite of the type that no longer exists. whoops, that one was in Yiddish, so here's another in Yiddish for Litvaks only:
The Tate Gallery was a dead bore. I mean it was the pits.
