THEME:   phrases with PE removed still make sense
   
GOOD ONES:     
Slangy denial {& theme}  NOPE [that is, "no PE"]   
Franken and Yankocic, for example?   (PE)ALS OF LAUGHTER   
Silver-tongued speaker?   SMOOTH O(PE)RATOR   
"Sorry, the mayo has been put on in advance"   IT CAN'T BE HEL(PE)D   
Union in D.C., e.g.   STA (Union Station on the Metro)   
Abe or Dick   PREZ [Honest Abe and "The Crook"  --- but I had PRES]   
Some kids   GOATS   
Buck tail?   AROO [not the deer]   
   
BTW:   
A dispersive one is commonly triangular   PRISM [better would be "pyramidal" since it's 3D]   
   
Where Yankee Doodle's feather ended up   IN HIS HAT [I thought it was "cap"]   
   
NLER is never used in print or speech --- only in Xwords   
   
RATING:    ;D ;D ;D
Three grins = Loved it; Two grins = Enjoyed it; One grin = A bit bland for my taste; One teardrop = Not much fun

Since "rent ye sinners" just isn't likely ever to be said or written, I didn't think it was as good as the others.  But de gustibus...
