Does the following sentence make sense ?

你有美国寄来的包裹，被海关叩了。 ( 叩头的叩 )

Apparently, 被扣了 could get a softer meaning as "preserved" when it's used in a kitchen.

To describe a dish-covering, we've got the french expression "sous cloche" ("under glass" in english) which could also be used for packages.

Yes, Blue steel seems to be a reference to Zoolander which is not a widely known movie.

Without the Urban Dictionary I'd misunderstood this reference :

Thank you for your answer. You're right, apparently "Rambunctious" collocates a bit more with "children" :

"rambunctious children" has 50.600 entries on Google

"boisterous children" has 35.000 entries on Google

For me "boisterous" would sound as good.

Is there a difference between "rambunctious children" and "boisterous children" ?

"blocking has been socially beneficial" ?

You mean that ignorance is socially beneficial ?

It sounds like a concept of the ... Middle Ages !

In my opinion, "随便" doesn't have any sexual connotation here.

Also, on the following page, "随便"的人 doesn't have any sexual interpretation :

在人际交往中，主动权的控制应当是随时交替的。“随便”就是将主动权交给了对方。具体来说，“随便”的第一种含义就是表示尊重，愿意遵从对方的意愿；第二种含义是表示厌烦，因此以交出主动权来尽快结束谈话，如有时候两个人有分歧时，一方也可能以这一词表示“随便你说什么”来结束争论；第三种含义，是心有不满或异议，但是认为没有和对方争论的必要或筹码，因此干脆弃权；第四种则可能是不愿动脑子、不愿负责任的推诿之辞。
