square up

To settle a bill or debt. Square refers to the honesty of the deal, and up is the action of payment or performing the task.

To tighten the connections or correct the angles in a construction project, since squares are made of right angles at exactly ninety degrees, which is the majority of building connections and materials.

To confirm plans and reservations, straighten, or organize.
"When I come by tomorrow, I'll square up with you on the loan you gave me."

"If this drywall's gonna hang right, you better square up that door frame."

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?"

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.
I'm hungry as balls!
Dude, your mom is hot as balls.
I was sick as balls last night.
It's cold as balls out here!
It's cold as balls are not!

you better

Same as "you should", though it can be use for any subject (I, he, she, we, it, they). Implies advice or warning. Common in the southern US, this phrase has been shortened down from:

You would be better off if you...
You would be better to ...
You'd be better...
You'd better...
You better...

Sometimes as a threat, a person will mistakingly say "you had better...", but the correct uncontracted version is "would" not "had".
You better get started on that paper if it's gonna be done by Monday.

You better be in this house when the street lights come on.

You better put them trash cans up on the porch, so's the dogs ain't gettin in 'em.

muck

(v) In poker, to return your cards to the dealer without showing the other players. Differs from fold because folded cards cannot be shown during play (forced muck). Muck implies choice.
He mucked his cards so I couldn't see if he was bluffing or chasing.
