Similar to the tobacco-themed "take a break" saying, this phrase refers to an occasional interval during travel or work when anyone in the party who has previously been "holding it in" is now permitted to "let fly" as much as he/she desires, even if said eruptions are obscenely loud and/or odiferous. Further explanation unnecessary.

To lie from the pulpit or otherwise use religion to try to get someone to trust you when you're just bu**s**tting them.
I see all of these televangelists ranting and roaring about Hellfire and damnation, but in many cases I suspect that they are merely speaking in forked tongues because they are just trying to get their viewers to donate money.

"You can heave and strain on da wrench till Doomsday and never get a stubborn bolt loosened, but then just as soon as you ask a stronger --- and probably very busy himself --- person to come and help, DAT'S when da blasted bolt actually WILL yield, either when you give a final demonstrative yank on da wrench to show da second person how supposedly stuck da bolt is, or when he himself hauls back on da wrench and said previously-cranky bolt unscrews with little effort on his part, indicating dat your OWN last tug actually HAD cracked it free after all, and so if you had 'just given it one more go' yourself, you actually COULD have gotten da bolt out on your own, without having to interrupt your now-ears-smokingly-annoyed-at-being-needlessly-called-away colleague in da first place."
I wonder if da inventor of da impact wrench had originally felt prompted to do so due to his having frequently encountered Murphy's Law of Bolt-Loosening???

What da Good Book is purported to be --- i.e., it supposedly can help everyone who reads its assorted divided blocks of text. Personally, I think it's just a pack of rubbish.
From what I've observed, da Bible is indeed quite "verseatile" as far as how many people use it --- it's such a mixed-up jumble of vaguely-worded and conflicting ideas dat you can kind of justify almost any action with it, such as physical/verbal abuse, withholding necessary resources, arrogance, exclusion, elitist behavior, stubbornness, being overly critical, etc. Much better to just live your life as best you reasonably can, show tolerance and charity to others, and so on!
