Murphy scam

A robbery scam where a woman poses as a prostitute and lures the john/mark into a room. When they are in bed, the woman's male partner rushes in, usually brandishing a gun and posing as a jealous husband or jilted lover. The mark leaves in a hurry, without his clothes or valuables. The perpetrators, or "Murphy artists" collect their loot and escape.

A similar version was used in the movie Porky's as a prank involving a black guy with a machete, chasing the naked crew into the woods.
New Orleans used to be the capital of the Murphy scam.

bumper balls

A vehicle accessory for those who lack a pair of their own, consisting of a rubber scrotum and testes dangling from the underside of their bumper, trailer hitch, rear axle, etc.
bumper balls are a poor substitute for having a real pair, buddy.

OCC wrench

A two-pound dead-blow hammer, often mistaken for a rubber mallet. The primary tool of the hacks at Orange County Choppers, especially Paulie. Chiefly used for axle installation, engine/transmission alignment and primary cover installation.

Properly used, an OCC wrench is a useful tool that one occasionally needs for stubborn, rusty old parts, not shiny new ones that should slide together if one knows what they are doing.
I have been a motorcycle mechanic for ten years, and have never needed the OCC wrench to put in an axle.

Look, that idiot Paulie dinged that primary with the OCC wrench!
