Reference to the New York Yankeees made by Boston Red Sox President Larry Lucchino. Called such because of their propensity to purchase baseball championships year after year.
The Yankees are the evil empire of baseball with the highest payroll in baseball of almost $190 million.
However, the Red Sox, who refer to the Yankees as such, have a payroll of almost $130 million, second highest in baseball. Would that make them the almost-evil empire? Or, how about the jealous empire?

Phrase referring to the ungodly evil plan to exterminate all Jews by Adolf Hitler and the Nazi pollitical party during WWII. Evolved between 1933 and 1941 as Hitler's political and military fortunes shifted, although Hitler himself made it clear in as early as 1924 that "it is necessary to rid Germany of all Jews."
Some accounts have Hitler and the Nazi party only wanting Jewish culture and it's beliefs removed from Germany, however it is commonly believed that he wanted them physically exterminated (dead).

As popularized by Milhouse on The Simpsons, a phrase referring to the father of a child who's parents are divorced and split custody of the child.
In such situations, what can happen is the mother has custody of the child during the week, while the father gets to spend one or both days of the weekend with him or her.
Phrase is especially true if the mother is remarried or has a boyfriend, hence the child's father figure during the week. This makes the biological father the weekend dad.
