bridge to nowhere 

"i said no thanks to that bridge to nowhere"

Bridge to nowhere 

An extremely irrational, pointless, and obviously dumb idea

The bridge to nowhere was a bridge proposed to connecting Ketchikan, Alaska to Gravina Island (Pop. 50) and the Ketchikan Airport.
The airport handles 200,000 passengers a year, which are brought in on a ferry that runs every 30 minutes, and can handle 350,000 people a year.
The bridge was to cost almost $400 million and be comparable in scope to the Golden Gate Bridge, which handles 118,000 cars A DAY!
In response to Sarah Palin talking about McCain's health care plan to give families $5,000 to go out and get their own healthcare:

Joe Biden: "So you're going to have to place -- replace a $12,000 plan with a $5,000 check you just give to the insurance company. I call that the "Ultimate Bridge to Nowhere."

"You're going to have to replace a $12,000 health-care plan with a $5,000 tax-credit check you've just given to the insurance company. I call that the ultimate bridge to nowhere." - Sen. Joe Biden, 10/2/08

Bridge to nowhere 

When you pitch a loaf so long, it touches both shorelines of the toilet.
That loaf was so long, a fly could walk across it and get to the other side of the toilet. Almost like a bridge to nowhere.
It is said of the situation where a person has the bad luck to make contact with his testicles against an undefined surface or object, intentioned or not.
Given the nature of the word, it is more appropriate to design cases where the interaction is made with a moving object, for example, a ball.
Although it is extremely painful for the victim, it tends to be considerably funny to people who witness it.
Today in the baseball game the pitcher took a nutshot; the baseball hit him in the nuts.

Man, I just watched the funniest nutshot video ever.

Nerd neck 

A "human" that spends so much time playing video games that their posture is level nerd neck. Everytime anyone goes tryhard they hunch down and their neck gets longer there fore a nerd neck is always hunched down cause they're always going try hard. In other words a nerd neck is a try hard, since their neck is 100% longer than the average human being due to playing too many video games and taking them serious, nerd necks are not even considered human anymore but something more sad. Nerd necks are often found on fortnite, their natural habitat usually being tilted towers.
What a fucking nerd neck!

He is building so fast, nerd neck!
