Definitions by Uncle Dimma

lipstick on a pig 

(a misogynistic term originally used by some Democrats to insult Sarah Palin during the US presidential campaign of 2008); they didn't like how much make make-up she had on)

overkill, when people go over and/or beyond their call of duty or responsibilities, or beyond acceptable socio -moral boundaries when doing something.
I support capital punishment as a principle for certain crimes and under certain conditions, and will not, under any circumstances, go lipstick on a pig and reject the principle of capital punishment itself because I hate lethal injection or lethal gas as a method of execution; I will simply state that IMHO such methods of capital execution (but not the idea of capital punishment itself) absolutely unacceptable in modern, humane, society. Or, I might reject the use of capital punishment for a specific case; the moral of the fable is, do not go lip lipstick on a pig and betray your own moral principles.

to extend your lebensraum 

(even if the word lebensraum was, and is, offensive in the historical context of Nazi Germany, it is not in this case):

a phrase meaning: pick up your garbage/trash/shit after yourself and throw it away.
mother, entering her son's room (shouting): Daniel, how dare you keep all this trash on your table. Haven't I taught you better? I refuse to let you downstairs for dinner until and unless you are going to extend your lebensraum with regards to this table. got that?

>

> son: yes. And i am sorry, i don't know what lebensraum means in German.

kiss the Don's ring, or die 

(A phrase from Mario Puzo's The Godfather ) meaning: respect my authority, or else...suffer the negative consequences.
Mother: I refuse to help you to save your sinking Titanic, now, kiss the Don's ring, or die trying. Adam, go do your homework.

Adam:get of my planet, at least for now, ill do my homework later.

Mother: okay, but, lol, I'm cutting off your allowance if you don't do your homework at all.

Adam: got that.

afthavithm 

(not to be confused with, but still pronounced atavism): a spiritual disease afflicting Jews and Muslims who over-consume pork and/or pork containing products.
Left untreated, afthavithm will result in the utter nuclear, biochemical and molecular disintegration (and ultimately death) of the monotheistic soul of the afflicted individual.

devil-worship 

Insulting your parents is devil-worship

sneezer-tweezer

a coolidiculous term for a person who sneezes very loudly, and somewhat too much, despite the fact that they have no known medical allergies.
my dad is a sneezer-tweezer; i like to make fun of him for that reason.

z-chara board hit 

(N.B: this definition, with no offense meant to Zdeno Chara of The Boston Bruins or anyone else on The Boston Bruins organization, is named after Zdeno Chara's now infamous (among Montreal Canadiens fans at least) hit on Max Pacioretty during the 2010-2011 NHL season).

in the NHL, a type of boarding hit-at an angle of course-the point of which is to injure a player of the opposing team.
NHL fan forum post: Shame on you, dear Mr Gary Bettman for not having suspended Zdeno Chara for more games after his infamous z-chara board hit on Max Pacioretty.

reply to post: asking yourself the question of whether or not Zdeno Chara intentionally injured Max Pacioretty is meaningless. Whether intentional or not, a z-chara board hit, IMHO, is supposed to be banned in the NHL; an NHL game is not some kind of modern Roman gladiator spectacle where injuring, maiming, and even sometimes killing, one's opponents was permitted.
