pay a dollar

gank

Steal something, but generally in a harmless way.
Dude, I ganked a beer from your fridge.

Lemme gank a dollar, so I can get a pop. (The use of "gank" instead of "borrow" implies that there will be no payback.)

Screamin' Jimmy

Slang for a diesel engine manufactured back in the day by GM Diesel (later known as Detroit Diesel, later known as MTU). They were "screamin'" because they were loud, and "Jimmy" being casual slang for "GM." (Also known as "Jimmy Diesels.")
My job in 'Nam was to make sure them Screamin' Jimmys kept screamin' on the patrol boat, otherwise we'd have been sitting ducks for the vietcong.

idiokey

A combination of "idiot" and "monkey" (synonym: monkiot). Refers to someone given no authority or autonomy (treated as if they are "doing a job any monkey could do"), and who therefore feels no responsibility to make good decisions or deviate in any way from what they have been told to do.
I got my boss's boss to sign my expense report, but the idiokey from finance refused to pay it until my own boss returned from vacation and signed it.

tie goes to the runner

In baseball, if the runner is tagged at the same moment he reaches the base, he is considered safe.

In everything else, the benefit of the doubt goes to the one who finishes with the momentum.
June and Li are both super hot, but Li looks extra good right now in that green sweater, so...tie goes to the runner; I'm asking Li out.
