gallows humor 

Sense of humor that arises from stressful, traumatic or life-threatening situations where death seems to be an inevitability. Different from black humor in that comments of this sort are made by the person/persons affected (i.e. about to die).
Emissary: We will block out the sun with our arrows.
Spartan (gallows humor here): Then we will fight in the shade.

galluses 

Suspenders or British braces to hold

British call them "braces."

An awesome Punk band from Watford UK, they put on the BEST live shows you will ever witness. They also hate the fuck out of bands like brokencyde and jefree star. They say what they think and don't give a fuck what people say. A proper band doing it for the love of music not to sell records!
"Dude I just saw the Gallows live!"

"Man I envy you can I worship your feet"
