grow balls

Command to someone (not necessarily male) to show a bit of backbone.

Nicole's re-landscaped the lawn with forty different awkward pieces of sculpture and you're worried because she's threatening you with all kinds of bullshit if you don't mow it for her. For heaven's sake, Jimmy, grow balls!

not quite Chippewa

Something that is not quite Chippewa is something unwanted in a particular, typically coercive, social setting. Something that is not politically correct and therefore stamped on by any means necessary, typically by someone who selflessly has taken it upon themselves to decide what's best for everyone else, and smiles as they do it. From a line spoken by Camp Chippewa director (Peter MacNicol) in the 1993 movie "Addams Family Values".

Why do I get the feeling there's something not quite right here? Something ... not quite Chippewa?

three-scallop problem

A problem whose solution is very obvious to everyone else, but which for some reason they refuse to divulge to someone who needs to find these things out. From the movie Demolition Man, starring Wesley Snipes and Sylvester Stallone, where in a future world of perfect primness no-one has the nerve to explain to Stallone's defrosted cop the purpose of the three seashell-shaped markings in every toilet.

They're not telling me what's up with Diane these days. It must be a three-scallop problem.

third arm

Somebody who considers themself so tied to someone else that they are only there to do the other's bidding. A slave. By analogy with an actual third arm, with which the owner of the arm could hope to do so much more, but which has no independent life of its own.

Mary is trying to treat Jimmy like her third arm again. She won't even let him go out for a night with the lads.
