Said of Keyser Soze:
"The way I hear it, Soze is some kind of butcher. A peerless, psycho, fucked-up butcher."
"Keaton always said, "I don't believe in God, but I'm afraid of him." Well I believe in God, and the only thing that scares me is Keyser Soze."

Character played by Kevin Spacey in the 1995 movie, "The Usual Suspects." The character is most remembered for a story about him, told to a police officer in the movie:

"He's supposed to be Turkish. Some say his father was German. Nobody ever believed he was real. Nobody ever knew him or saw anybody that ever worked directly for him. But to hear Kobayashi tell it, anybody could have worked for Soze. You never knew; that was his power. The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn't exist. One story the guys told me, the story I believe, was from his days in Turkey. There was a gang of Hungarians that wanted their own mob. They realized that to be in power, you didn't need guns or money or even numbers. You just needed the will to do what the other guy wouldn't. After a while, they come into power and then they come after Soze. He was small-time then, just running dope, they say. They come to his home in the afternoon, looking for his business. They find his wife and kids in the house and decide to wait for Soze. He comes home to find his wife raped and children screaming. The Hungarians knew Soze was tough, not to be trifled with, so they let him know they meant business. They tell him they want his territory, all his business. Soze looks over the faces of his family. Then he showed these men of will what will really was. He tells him he would rather see his family dead than live another day after this. He lets the last Hungarian go, waits until his wife and kids are in the ground, and then he goes after the rest of the mob. He kills their kids. He kills their wives. He kills their parents and their parents' friends. He burns down the houses they live in, the stores they work in. He kills people that owe them money. And like that, he's gone. Underground. Nobody's ever seen him since. He becomes a myth, a spook story that criminals tell their kids at night. 'Rat on your pop and Keyser Soze will get you.' But no one ever really believes."

Soze's character was based on real-life murderer John List, who murdered his mother, wife, and three children, then disappeared for 18 years. When he was found and captured, he had started a completely new life as Robert Peter Clark.

The term "Keyser Soze" has become synonymous with someone who is elusive and legendary - someone who everyone hears about, but noone ever meets in person.
He owes me money, but I can't collect - he's harder to find than Keyser Soze.

Pretending you're headed to the bar or the bathroom and instead leaving the establishment to either pass out, puke, or go bang a nasty hood rat and to never be heard from again.
(and more importantly avoiding the shit storm of your friends heckling abuse for either admitting you're leaving because of the aforementioned reasons!)

"You think you can catch Keyser Soze? You think a guy like that comes this close to getting fingered and sticks his head out? "My guess is you'll never hear from him again."
I keyser sozed out of that place and never looked back. SUCKERS!

Slang for being the most worthless piece of shit imaginable. This type of person couldn’t do less work if they were in a fucking coma. Complains constantly about simple tasks.
That guy hasn’t done shit at work all . All he does is bitch. Man he’s a real Keyser.

A shit smell from one's ass that is so powerful and ruthless that you believe it's a myth once it's faded away. The greatest trick this smell ever pulled was convincing the world it didn't exist.
Last summer Rick let loose a Keyser Soze on a hunting trip up north. At least I think it was. I couldn't be sure because my eyes were watering and I was dry heaving.

Like it’s cousin the Cleveland Steamer, the Keyser Kerplop involves laying down a deuce upon ones sexual partners chest or groin. This iteration however is taken after stopping by and eating too much at Extended Family Funeral wakes or after eating too many chillie dogs from Marties Hot Dog Stand on Main Street.
Did You hear about Charlie?
No,why what happened…
He ate too much food at the Bergman family wake and after going home and getting frisky with his life partner Davis, he unloaded a Keyser Kerplop that was heard three blocks away….
