Sullenberger Shot

An alcoholic beverage named after Captain Sullenberger, the pilot who successfully landed a commercial airliner in the Hudson river without harming any passengers.

The drink consists of a shot of Grey Goose, dropped into a glass of water. Grey Goose represents the flock of geese that caused the engines to fail, and the water obviously represents the river in which the plane was landed.

This drink is far from ideal, likewise, so is landing a plane in the river, but it'll work in the most dire situations.
Sometimes you just have to improvise. How about a Sullenberger shot? Drop a shot of the Goose into a glass of water, and salute Captain Sully

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.
