Charles Ramsey

Verb. To put aside one's fear in an uncannily bad situation, and not be afraid to get in other people's business for the greater good.

Directly after Charles Ramsey, the man credited with the May 7, 2013 rescue of three women who had been kidnapped in Cleveland, Ohio, US about a decade before.

all the way to China

1: Notionally speaking, where you would wind up if you proceeded to dig a hole through the earth as to come out the other end. (This is mistaken, of course - starting from either coast of the US would put you in the middle of an ocean, as would starting about anywhere in China.) See china syndrome for a possible explanation to the origin.

2: Metaphor for where one can see if they have a clear view of a woman's genitalia - either due to the fact that she is wearing no clothing, or the clothing she is wearing is revealing what's underneath (due to transparency or just that it is ill fitting). Possibly originates by extension of sense 1.
When she lifted up her legs, we could see all the way to China.

set in jello

A description of a document (for instance, a programming schedule for a convention) that, while written or printed, is still at the given moment highly flexible and can be reshaped with little to no effort.

Derived by analogue to set in stone, and with lack of a better substance to set soemthing in that would require flexibility.
The payment terms for this contract are still set in jello.

set in stone

Colloquial description of an item (document, schedule, contract, etc.) that cannot be altered without great effort (and possibly some destructiveness) for one reason or another.

Probably derived from how the ten commandments (Exodus 22:* in your bible) were produced on stone tablets, as it requires effort to modify a document that is etched into stone.

See also set in jello for a good opposite.
Once you sign the contract, the terms are set in stone.

You keep telling yourself that

A response to a possibly false statement that one gives when the party being responded to is certainly deluding themselves. Roughly, "If you keep saying that, you might actually start to believe it".
"The price of gasoline is going to go down tomorrow," quipped Sue. Joe simply responded, "You keep telling yourself that."

R party

A gathering of any number of randoms that centers around the sharing of software. So called because oftentimes the software in question is pirated.

The term borrows heavily on otomatopeia - specifically the use of Arr.
Dude, I scored a cracked version of Photoshop at the R party!
