alien robot zombies

Something that loses its credibility and/or enjoyment because of over-embellishment.

(1) He had everyone believing he was the President's brother, but the more he talked the more alien robot zombies his story got.

(2) The first book in the series had great a storyline, but now it's just alien robot zombies.

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.

Jimmy Diesel

Slang for a two-cycle diesel engine manufactured back in the day by GM Diesel (later known as Detroit Diesel, later known as MTU) -- "Jimmy" being casual slang for "GM."

These newfangled engines may be better for the environment, but them Jimmy Diesels were tough as hell.

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.)
