Arms Race

Starting a beef with someone when you have damaging information on them. Especially when you have the upper hand.

"Hey Bitch you fucked me out of hooking w/ Tina!"

"You wanna arms race on this shit? You fucked my girl and you're still married... Do I need phone home!!!"

Backyard Arms Race

A term used to describe the proliferation of backyard play items in a post COVID world- starts with swing sets and basketball hoops. Then come soccer/lacrosse nets and a zip line. As all sides of the neighborhood fence add these items, one neighbor gets the trampoline (aka Mormon Babysitter). Then trampolines everywhere. Winter comes? Backyard skating rinks. The sides build their arsenals until balance is restored. A rink for every kid.

Then the goddamn Smiths at the end of the cul-de-sac get the sports court and the race is BACK ON.

Hey Ned, did you see the Sniths got a new sports court once we all had trampolines? Now my shitty kids are whining again. I guess the backyard arms race is back on.

Chilean Arms Race

When two naked men stand facing each other with a woman on her knees between them. Each of the men's penis is pointed at the sides of the woman's face. She begins to jerk them off until ones fires the first shot.

I was at a party, and this girl was giving me a handjob, and my buddy walked in... She started jerking him off too! It was like a chilean arms race.
