Dead Men Tell No Tales

A saying that has existed for a long time, but wasn't extremely popular until it became famous through the Pirates of the Caribbean ride at Disneyland, in which a pirate-ish skull and crossed bones on the wall utters this very phrase, among other things. Basically, what it means is that to keep something quiet, kill anyone who knows about it and, since that person is dead, it would be pretty much impossible for them to tell your secret. A similar saying is "Three can keep a secret if two are dead," invented by Benjamin Franklin.

So, you don't want anyone to find out that you're secretly a Hilary Duff fan? Just kill everyone who already knows--after all, dead men tell no tales.

Right-wing fairy tale

Any one of a number of fantastical presuppositions promulgated by the fanatical neo-con religious right in an effort to avoid honest conversation about the issues in favor of fear-mongering and disinformation of the masses. Bitches.
i.e. Trickle-down economics, USA-PATRIOT Act, Intelligent Design, survived aborted fetus, Axis of Evil, Vice President Sarah Palin, etc.

"What about the growing threat of survived aborted fetuses?"
"Like you, you brain-dead moron? Everyone knows that's just a right-wing fairy tale."

Argentinean tale / Argentinean tail

A story and result of an elected official's extramarital international affairs. In U.S. political sex lore, commonly associated with a South Carolina governor on a quest for marital redemption, who instead finds a path to adultery, infidelity and world confession.

A political Cad story making a mockery of Conservative Family Values as the founding doctrine of a Republican politician.

The press interview of a male slut after an international vacation.

Political hypocrisy with a sad apologetic face and a happy penis.

"Hey Joe, let's grab some brewskis and ask our lovely wives if we can go on a South American vacation to come back with our own Argentinean tales of Argentinean tail."
..."No Max, that's for politicians, I prefer to keep my truck, guns and trailerhouse without fighting over them in the divorce. And that's my Argentinean tale / Argentinean tail, and I'm sticking to it."

A Moocher's Tale: Alex Frankel

This non-fiction book was written about one of the most devious mooches ever. The book has not yet been written by acclaimed authors, Tyrone Schiff, Jake Billmeyer, and Joe Tucker, but they have begun brainstorming various chapter titles that will be included in this extremely long read.

The chapter titles are all based on real life events that the three authors of the book witnessed themselves. Although humorous at first glance, the tale is in fact a sad one in which Frankel eventually dies a sad and lonely man due to his mooching.

"A Moocher's Tale: Alex Frankel" was just a number 1 best seller on the New York Times best seller list!
