Whack Job

There are a number of definitions to this phrase, two of the commonest being:

1) A person who exhibits abnormal behaviour, this can vary from mild eccentricity to full-blown, froth at the mouth insanity. The degree to which the person is a whack job is usually given by qualifiers to the phrase. Mild eccentricity would be indicated by saying the person was 'a bit of a whack job' stronger symptoms of eccentricity and the person would be 'a proper whack job'. If the person was seriously insane then they would be 'a total, out-and-out, raving whack job'.

2) A professional killing, also known as a hit. The whack part comes from the victim being killed (whacked), the job from the fact that this is done for payment by a professional (it's his or her job).

1) Jackson Galaxy is a bit of a whack job, but he knows a hell of a lot about cats (he's not bad on guitar either).

2) Spanner was found dead in his flat, looks like it was a whack job!

ACT

An acronym standing for Action Conquers Terror. It is unclear whether this was originally a military acronym, where personnel are trained to overcome fear by action until this becomes automatic. It does, however, highlight that people are capable of far more than they realise, and that fears can be beaten when they are confronted. Action show fears and self-doubt as merely a question of attitude; forward-looking action overcomes habit and inertia to produce something new and is the simplest way to start the process of change.

Don't just sit there worrying about it, do something! ACT!

K-Bar

Besides being the name of the knife used by US Army and Marines, k-bar can also be used as a verb. So if a k-bar knife is used to kill someone they can be said to have been k-barred.

You heard that STRAC REMF went missin' on patrol?
Yeah, heard too someone k-barred the bastard an' left 'im in the boonies.
No shit?
No shit.

AHOYA

AHOYA is an acronym standing for Asshole Of The Year Award. Used frequently to describe those people who get the best jobs, promotion, bonuses not because they're good at their job, but because they lick the boss' boots and brown-nose anyone in authority. They are usually below average to poor performers but their sycophancy ensures that this goes unnoticed.

Malcolm's got an end of year bonus despite failing to make any of his targets!
Yeah it's his AHOYA

CNA

CNA stands for Certified Nursing Assistant. These are people who are underpaid and usually underappreciated. They work hard, doing the menial or unpleasant jobs which, if they weren't done would make the patients life intolerable. They usually carry out their work with no fuss and are frequently moaned at by the patients they look after. Nurses tend to look down on them, and it was possibly from this quarter that they received the sobriquet 'Cleaner of Nasty Arses'.

When my Gran was in hospital, there was this CNA who was brilliant. She looked after my Gran as if she was her own.

Ripped him a second asshole

This can also be ripped her a second asshole. Originally this phrase meant to attack someone with vicious and overwhelming brutality but, over time the meaning changed to become to reprimand someone so totally and effectively that it effectively destroyed them. If you have ripped him (or her) a second asshole you have administered the ultimate put down.

Jay, you know that wanker Malcolm ruined the design for the new website? Well the boss called him into his office and ten minutes later Malcolm came out, he was pale and shaking and I think he'd pissed himself! The boss sure ripped him a second asshole and on top of that he got potted!
