Nuke This

This is fun with terminology. The term is used to get a point of apocalyptic emphasis across, scare grandma, and yet do away with the long winded saying, "Put my ham and cheese sandwich in the microwave oven." A simple "Nuke this!" will do. Guaranteed is that no one will misinterpret this abbreviated sentence and turn on the oven gas burner. Of course, grandma may feel the urge to bean her grandson over the head with a metal hot plate! It seems that many a World War II "Flame Thrower' veteran may have used a similar meaning word with "grandma" during the Cuban Missile Crisis in the sixties!
All I said was 'nuke this' grandma; you can put that frying pan back in the oven!

Corporate Suicide

The forced surrendering of license to operate a business that requires said license. Since, it is not conducive to profit from such action, this should raise a red flag. There must be underlying and mitigating factors involved. Look for conspiracy. A tip-off that there is sure colluding and government corruption in the mix is when the State Supreme Court send you a letter that states, "Your grievance, even if true would not constitute ethical misconduct or incapacity."

This really puts a kink in an investigation when a person needs the death of the corporation reversed so it can testify.

Corporate Suicide is an invention of Big Brother!

Dog Day Afternoon

As the Accidental Reincarnate says, "In literally having had many of a 'Dog Day Afternoon' spent particularly engaged in the activity now suggested. I have now found that while so indulging myself and enjoying a cold beverage on this life's many days of same, it much better having two hands with an opposable thumb than two paws and a long tongue!"

Blood Diamond Bride

Any engaged, or recently married woman who wears a diamond ring that comes from the De Beers Corporation. These diamonds are probably bought from human rights violating countries that are waging war against peaceful neighbors.

End note: But then again, it's only six degrees of separation to Kevin Bacon!
A lot of people paid with their lives so she can wear that ring, I bet that she doesn't know her status as a blood diamond bride.
