I just Dresdenized that ant hill with an M80.

On the night of February 13, 1945, planes of the RAF and US Army Air Force dropped several thousand tons of high explosive and incendiary bombs, the forerunner of napalm, onto the civilian refugee campsite, Allied POW hospital city, and peaceful artistic mecca of Dresden in southeastern Germany. The ensuing firestorm killed perhaps as many as 150,000 civilians, quite possibly more than the number of Japanese who died in Hiroshima and Nagasaki combined. This bombing created far less controversy than the nuking of Japan, however, since more "conventional" weapons were used.
Dresden's destruction was no less than a war crime. This act will forever blot the history of America and Britain.

Engage in normal coitus with your partner and as you are both about to climax yell "AIR RAID" and run to the shelter under your house while a B-17 drops napalm on your house.

British slang dating from World War II meaning to defecate, take a dump or shit. The phrase came about due to the heavy bombing of Dresden by the allies due to the concentration of military targets in and around the city. Dresden was also a centre of porcelain manufacture and since toilet bowls are made of porcelain, wartime humour made the connection, that and the societal requirement to use a polite euphemism, that if you went to take a crap you went to bomb Dresden.

Lead character in the Dresden Files, a series of novels written by Jim Butcher and made into a TV series by the Scifi channel. Harry is a wizard, at odds with the White Council (the magical authorities) and struggling to do the right thing as the world gets weirder all around him. As the story progresses, he is forced into some strange alliances to combat the evil conspiracy which links the books.
Excellent read - urban fantasy which is not bogged down with porn and Mary Sue characters.
