as balls
A phrase added after any adjective to make it stronger.
Perhaps started by people trying to be less vulgar than using "as fuck" or "as shit", but still wanting to use a dirty word.
The resulting phrase doesn't have to have anything to do with testicles or their qualities; it's almost better when it's very un-ball-like, because it makes other people stop and think how your phrase doesn't make sense.

busier than a cat trying to bury a turd on a frozen pond
A phrase your grandparent might use to describe being busy with a futile, impossible, or endless task.
Cats like to cover their feces, but if they've done their business on a frozen pond, no matter how long they try to dig up something to cover it with, their paws will always slide on the ice. The joke is the mental image of a cat making the digging motion on ice for a long time.

I don't know why I keep weeding that garden. I've been busier than a cat trying to bury a turd on a frozen pond, but I tell you what, there's gonna be just as many dandelions tomorrow.

quick service restaurant
The industry uses "quick service restaurant" instead of "fast food" now, probably to get rid of the cheap, greasy, unhealthy stigma that comes with the "fast food" label. Often shortened to QSR among the owners and suppliers.
Taco Bell is often called a Fast Food Restaurant, but the PR people would prefer to call it a Quick Service Restaurant instead.
"What kind of POP do you have for QSR franchisees?"

QSR
Abbreviation for Quick Service Restaurant, the modern PC way to say Fast Food Restaurant. Instead of being seated at a table, placing your order with the waitstaff, and the food is brought to you on dishes -- a QSR has a drive-thru or you place your order with a cashier at the front counter and take the food in a bag or similar disposable carrier. The food is mostly pre-packaged and reheated, so you get your food faster than if it were made to order. "Fast food" carries a negative connotation as unhealthy, so the industry uses QSR instead to avoid the stigma and to account for the increasingly high-priced "premium" fast food options.
QSRs: Taco Bell, McDonald's, Burger King, Qdoba, KFC, A&W, Long John Silver's, Arby's, Wendy's, Chester's, Popeye's, etc.
all bark
Short for all bark and no bite. Comes from dogs that look aggresive and bark like they're going to cause you great harm, but they won't actually bite you. They just sound threatening. So if you say someone is all bark, you're telling people to disregard the warnings or threats of that person, because he or she won't actually follow through with them.
Old Man Johnson: "If you god damn kids cut through my yard again, I'm gonna come out there and rip off your head and shit down your neck!"
Kid 1: "Wow, we better get outta here."
Kid 2: "Don't worry about him, he's all bark. He ain't gonna do shit."
Kid 1: "Wow, we better get outta here."
Kid 2: "Don't worry about him, he's all bark. He ain't gonna do shit."
deft defying
Pun or mondegreen for death-defying.
Consider that "death-defying" is an adjective for a stunt or action that should kill you, but you escape (defy) death.
Deft: skilled in movement, especially of the hands.
Defy: oppose, resist, challenge, or refuse to submit.
You can see why "deft defying" doesn't make much sense. Taken literally, "deft defying" could be used to describe someone that is skilled at opposition or physical resistance, as in "defying deftly".
If hyphenated to become an adjective, "deft-defying" could be used to describe someone either unskilled on purpose, or should be skilled and is not.

"That PETA arsonist did some deft defying in the hospital he burned down. Must have been difficult pushing through all those sick people to get out before it was too late, but that's less people benefiting from animal testing I guess."
"I tried that new masseuse... oh man, her massage was deft-defying. She needs to practice; I was sore for a week."

"Did you just call that jump deft defying? Don't you mean death-defying? And it was only off the garage -- you wouldn't die from landing twelve feet, dude. You're an ass."
