battery hog

Another term for, "dry cell pig" -- that is, a battery-operated device that devours batteries like there's no tomorrow.

Man this radio is a real battery hog! I just put a new set of AA cells in there half an hour ago and they're already going down the tube!

down the tube

Another way of saying that something is really going to pot -- when you say such-and-such is going down the tube, it is spiraling downhill extremely rapidly.

Man this drone flight is really going down the tube...O FUCK, There's a tree!!! (*CRASH!!!*)

That woman's performance on American Idol started to go down the tube when she forgot a critical lyric to the song she was performing.

thunderation!

A variant on “What in tarnation?” which itself was a lightening-up of the word “damnation,” “thunderation” was popular in the United States back in the 1830’s and 40’s. It’s time for it to come back.

Thunderation! Who the hell tried to flush a roll of Scottowels down the loo again?!?

caddywompus

caddywompus is a surprisingly common misspelling of the word, "cattywampus"; generally defined as an arrangement of objects not lined up or not arranged correctly, or diagonally or "(in this case) an aircraft such as a drone flying chaotically . An example of something cattywampus are the positions of the items on the top of a coffee table after a two year old has been playing with them and moving them around.

That drone flew all caddywompus; it did huge toliet bowls and acted like it had a mind of its own.
