I see her in the crucifix, my mind begins to slip. My love had fallen right to a T.
Then I close my eyes and the tears begin to run, the nightmare has just begun.

A very mild euphemism similar to "Tarnation!" (Damnation!) or "Dagnab it!" (God damn it!)
Yosemite Sam, of Warner Brother Cartoons, would mispronounce it as "Josephat", ignoring the "sh". It was to indicate his lack of formal education.
See "Jumping Jehoshaphat"

"Hip pocketed" means keeping anything around for easy access.
A technician may keep a Swiss Army knife in their hip pocket, just in case.
It does imply the person carrying the thing has complete control of it, so if someone's in you hip pocket, it means they are in complete control of another person.
It's become popular in Hollywood for an agent to "hip pocket" an aspiring actor or writer.
The talent may say an agent is "hip pocketing" them. It's not the best or optimal professional relation, but as they say "something is better than nothing."
A producer sends a script to an agent, if the agent doesn't have a client that fits the role, he may give a "hip pocketed" actor the script, and a verbal guarantee that the script was authorized by the producer.
For a writer, it is reversed. You informally give an agents scripts. If a producer asks for a particular idea, the agent may give the producer the writer's script.
If the actor gets the role or the writer sells his script, they sign paperwork and become a client. If not, the agent may continue "hip pocketing" you, sticking to verbal agreements only.

Combination of the drug Zanax/Xanax and Grandpa. It's an old guy who looks good. Simalar to "a silver fox", but more street cool.

The biggest trend buzz this week is the social media craze "FaceApp." You upload a photo of yourself and it shows you what you'd look like way older. Everyone is doing it, including me. Got to say "Not bad. Hello Zandpa."
Now this is the only fun thing to happen this week, so of course there's a nefarious dark side...
Summary: Russians own all your personal information on your phone legally forever.

Called a sucker punch in the US, a King punch is the same thing throughout the UK and former colonies. A person uses a fist to punch a victim without warning, often from behind, and usually to the back of the head. It's extremely dangerous to the victim, even fatal.

Using "poly" is ill-advised. It could mean polyamorous, but it could be the very racist shorthand for Polynesian. If you say it around anyone from the Pacific, you might get punched.
"Those steam punks are all poly."
"What did you just say?"
"I said they're all poly. They like to sleep around."
"Oh wow. You're racist as fuck."
