Elixir is spent to deploy a card onto the battlefield in Clash Royale. The player begins with 5 elixir, but as the game goes on it can be increased to 10 elixir. This phrase is used to indicate that somebody is so fat that they have to have extra elixir to be deployed onto the βbattlefieldβ
I bought this cell phonethinking that it was going to be good.. it works but they charge me a bunch of hidden costs that i was unaware about and now they wont do anything about. I should switch to T-Mobile
The opposite of friends with benefits, friends with costs incur a negative benefit (a cost) on whoever they are friends with. This could include bothering you from time to time for favours or money.
Suman: Cynthia, can you please pick up a bottle of vodka for me and bring it to my house? I promise I will pay you back some day.
Cynthia (aside): I wasn't even headed to Suman's house... Now that's what I call being friends with costs...
The term "protect him at all costs" or more commonly "protect this man at all costs" is a way of expressing that someone is a blessing and makes the world a better place in some way. The call for protection emphasizes that a quality is rare enough to need active support in the first place, and valuable enough to make the protection worthwhile. It might refer to something that is thought to be extinct, like manners and virtues that diminished in significance in the society over time. Oftentimes, the rarity is based on the uniqueness of the discussed quality. The quality might be based purely on comedic value. But the term is commonly used to comment wholesome content in social media.
For a video in which a policeman does way more than he legally has to do to fulfill his duty (for example, helping an elderly woman he got to know during shift privately with something she can't do on her own nor afford to be done professionally), a comment might be:
"Protect him at all costs!"
A variation based on the example might be:
"Protect this policeman at all costs!!!"
