throw under the bus

Physically throwing a person under a big, smelly city bus is the perfect metaphor for the act of positioning someone to be ground up under the wheels of the ever rolling omnibus of society in your stead. The bus carries people. The people's weight is what crushes the victim. This setting up of a patsy has an earlier, more agrarian beginning in "throwing him to the wolves." Someone is going down, it's not going to be you, so you select a candidate to feed into the system.

"Throw under the bus"
Every time the president gets in trouble, he'll throw another cabinet member under the bus.

Cockbox

A board, usually footed by side boards, thus creating a low table, under which a man slides his naked body. Centered in the top board will be some variant of a hole through which he will insert his erect penis and his testicles. This creates a "dancefloor" for a woman who will stand on, crush and otherwise torture the exposed and vulnerable organs, often while wearing stiletto heels.

What a night! I was in the cockbox for over two hours and Mistress showed me no mercy. I can't even pee today. It was great!

twisting off

Drinking Beer. Gone are the days of the church key (opener). Most beer bottles use twist-off caps for your convenience in getting to the brew without a fuss.

Just hangin' at the bar, twisting off a few long-necks, and watchin' the game.

throw to the wolves

When the wolf is at your door, such as: the IRS, the cops, or your bookie's leg-breaker, you will want to suggest an alternate target, such as: your partner, your dealer or another patsy who can take your punishment instead of you. Sometimes whole groups will find a fall guy to cover their crimes.

Throw to the wolves:
Once the triangulation of fire cut down the president, the FBI threw Oswald to the wolves.

I call bravo sierra

Bravo and Sierra are two of the military's words used to prevent misunderstandings in radio transmission. They stand for the letters B and S in the same way that Alpha means A and X-Ray means X.

Using "I call bravo sierra" is a more articulate and less crude way of saying "I call bullshit". It also can be a coded way of letting your friends know what you think while keeping the clueless out of the circle.

The phrase has been popularized by the XM Satellite radio team of Opie & Anthony.

Herbert: "I graduated Princeton with a 4.0 cumulative average."
Jimmy: "Did ya? I call bravo sierra."

Super Mario

Any male, would be super stud who acts out his after hours life as if he were a character in a game. Get high, get drunk, get laid, get in fights, jump over it all and begin again. Tomorrow, it's back to fixing drains or whatever it is you do.

Opie: Oh shit, there goes this evening. Larry just came in.
Jimmy: No man, it's fun to watch this Super Mario go through his act. Look he's already hitting on that girl at the bar while her boyfriend is watching the Yankees.

Disneyfied

Something of questionable moral value which has had a veneer of acceptability applied so that it no longer offends at any level, even though it's morality value has not been changed.

The big corporations turned Vegas into a family friendly playground, but even though the goombahs are gone and the shows are all Disneyfied, the town is still all about gambling, booze and hookers.
