with all due respect

In military parlance it means 'no more respect than protocol requires me to show'. Opposite of the term: 'with respect'.

Said to a superior, a means of veiling contempt adequately enough to evade disciplinary action (depending on the words following it.) Applied frequently by top brass toward Congressmen during Senate Committee Hearings.

Said to a subordinate (rarely,) it sarcastically emphasizes how little respect the superior is required to SHOW, and how much less they're required to HAVE for the subordinate.
Commander Knox: Admiral, with all due respect, this is my boat.
Admiral Graham: Not anymore, "with all due respect".

EOS

"End of Service" or "End of Support". It means the developers have deemed the software or software-as-service benefits themselves less than the community that supported it, and are now washing their hands of you goddamn swine. Oh, but please buy our sequel!

fauxtobomb

A photobomb not only staged, but lacking any appearance of spontaneity. The prototypical photobomb from which the word derived was staged, but achieved the desired spontaneity by placing the smiling stingray against the female subjects' shoulders.

Celebrities who regularly perform photobombs for fans and memetic exposure may become adept at appearing genuine, some don't even attempt it, and some truly have the prankster spirit and timing to interject spontaneously. Other times, a celebrity photobomb may simply be an opportunistic selfie.

A photobomb's authenticity may become questionable due to image cropping; a visual composition that gives equal weight to the photobomber gives the impression the shot was taken to intentionally include them.
Jimmy Fallon thinks that if he stages enough fauxtobombs, one of them will become viral. But they all have the same expression and placement, all taken at a tourist destination.

shit rolls down hill

In military parlance it means anything crappy coming from the top of the chain of command will hit everyone down to the bottom. This includes dumbass decision making, disciplinary actions, or simply a superior taking his frustrations out on subordinates.

aural dyslexia

A momentary fugue characterized by a lapse of comprehension in verbal communication in a language the listener is normally fluent in. The individual words may be understood, but somehow they fail to coalesce in meaning.

Sometimes this occurs from a statement made completely out of context, but it can also spontaneously arise from an otherwise clear flow of conversation.
"Don't make her laugh, though. You won't like the sound of it."
"...what?"
"repeats verbatim"
"Don't repeat it, rephrase it! I'm having aural dyslexia."
