Definitions by Uncle Dimma

z-chara board hit 

in the NHL, a type of (intentional?) boarding -at an angle of course-the point of which is (supposedly?) to (intentionally injure?) the player of the opposing team.

N.B: this definition, with no offense meant for 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) hit on Max Pacioretty in the 2010-2011 NHL season.
NHL fan forum post: Shame on you, dear Mr Gary Bettman (the current NHL Commissioner) for not having suspended Zdeno Chara for more games after his infamous z-chara board hit on Max Pacioretty.

reply to post: you idiot, asking yourself the question of whether or not Zdeno Chara intentionally injured Max Pacioretty is meaningless. Therefore stop attacking Gary Bettman as a person by shaming him.

However, whether intentional or not, a z-chara board hit IMHO is supposed to be banned in the NHL; an NHL game is not a Roman gladiator spectacle where injuring, and killing, one's opponents was not only tolerated, but even encouraged. We have taken the Latin concept of panem et circenses (bread and circuses in vox populi) far enough.

to crucify 

verb : (to)

to lay off your workers, for no specific reason other than the fact that you decide to move your company overseas.

N.B: not to be confused with either the crucifixion, a method of capital punishment in the Roman Empire, or The Crucifixion -of Jesus-but this is just as painful in the modern capitalist world.
Emily (adressing her boyfriend): Carl, remember I told you my boss was thinking about firing me? Well now he finally succeeded. I finally learned the reason; it's not just me he is firing, it's everyone. He's going to crucify the entire staff.

Carl: Oh, the bastard. If he is going to crucify all his staff like that, and other companies follow suit, guess what?, the laid off workers around The United States might start an American Communist Revolution.

response to post : Ce que tu voulais dire, c'est comment ca vas les meufs. on n'utilise pas le terme gerda en France. (what you wanted to say is, Hey, how is it going les meufs; the term gerda is not used here in France).

to pimp the S-1070

a ) (verb): to hire someone out (non sexual work only) and live off their wage, like a parasite, done regardless of whether you yourself are gainfully employed.

b) to financially exploit someone, using only money that the exploited person has earned solely outside the sexual trafficking trades
boy a) I don't have a job, what can I do?

boy b) let's open a business, to pimp the S-1070, some illegal immigrants at my father's company. That way, my father pays the immigrants minimum wage, but they do work us, not my dad.

dukhobor 

(meaning spirit fighter in Russian)

this term defines a person suffering an internal spiritual struggle, debating conversion from one monotheistic faith to another.
boy 1) my parents are devout Anglicans, but for some reason I don't find Anglicanism as meaningful to my existence. Should I become a Muslim, a Roman Catholic, or a Jew?

boy 2) this is completely up to you William.

William : Since it will take me a long time to make up my mind anyways, I guess I'll define myself a dukhobor then.

we, humans, are creatures of habit 

a) the most pragmatic, rational (IMHO) response to the rhetorical questions "why do old habits die hard? and why people resist change"?

b) a nicer way of telling someone "no matter how hard you try to change someone they will always retain part of their individuality."
a teenage boy comes crying to his father : " why won't my girlfriend Meedith follow me to Concordia University in Mechanical Engineering; all she wants to do is go to Mcgill University and do Psychology. Is there anything I can do?

father: no and no again. no, she doesn't deserve that you commit a St Valentines Day Massacre on her, and no, you can't do a rat's ass about it, simply because the cherry-phrase we, humans, are creatures of habit applies to her as well.
