deliverance

A great book and great movie that has been reduced to a line of viscerally disturbing dialogue. This movie did for homophobia what "Saturday Night Fever" did for disco.

Mountain Man: What do you want to do now?
Toothless Man: Grinning He's got a real pretty mouth on him, don't he?
Mountain Man: I'm gonna make you squeal like a pig. Weeeeeeee.

cosign

To go along with someone else's lie. To corroborate a lie. To cover for.

Without even giving me a heads-up, he told his mom that he had been at my house all night. I cosigned for him because we's close.

Provos

members of the Provisional Irish Republican Army (IRA). Pro-Irish Republic paramilitaries

The opposing Loyalist paramilitaries are the Ulster Volunteer Force (UVF) and the Ulster Freedom Fighters (UFF)

Conflicts this long-running are never simple, so there are many splinter groups including the *Real* IRA, a.k.a. Oglaigh na hEireann. To make matters more confusing, Oglaigh na hEireann is also the name of the Irish Republic's legitimate army. Fortunately, most people have no clue how to pronounce Oglaigh na hEireann, so the confusion is self-limiting.

Will the Provos hold the ceasefire or retaliate? Stay tuned ...

tricked out

Heavily accesorized.

A ho looking for tricks gets all tricked out in spandex, jewelry, hot-cha-cha lipstick, and a wig.

At her coronation, the Queen was all tricked out in brocade, ermines, and the crown jewels.

macho posturing

The mercenaries walked around the hall scowling - all part of a ritual man dance.

in there like swimwear

1. a sure thing; a lock; goal attainment is assured; prospects are brilliant

2. all over it; about to take care of with gusto

From the tendency of thongs and other tightfitting swimwear to become wedged where the sun never shines

"In there like swimwear" is "in like Flynn" for a new millenium. Can you name a single Errol Flynn movie? But everyone knows (and loves) the Thong Song.

"Make friends with her friends and you'll be in there like swimwear."
from The Player's Rulebook
