Counting coup

To Count coup is considered an act of bravery by North American Native Indians.

The ultimate Counting coup scenario, as told by Chief Plenty Coup: To be in declared war with another tribe and by genius stealth or of an outright brazen act to reach his enemy, a warrior had avoided death by flying arrows from afar, spears chucked while in close, even while in the death zone of the intended coup victim's now attacking and slashing knife. This is when the said warrior now slaps his knife wielding enemy on the face and then manages to flee unharmed. The red faced victim of Counted coup is now the embarrassment of his tribe.

To the Anglo-Saxon world an act of Counting coup would be considered an act of glory seeking stupidity. As an example: It would be like getting in a boxing match with Mike Tyson after having just slapped him up-side the face in the pre-bout introductions. On the other hand, if Mike Tyson wanted to even-up on the Counting coup score card, he would toy with this opponent until the last round, and then bite the ear off the side of the opponent's head five seconds before the end of the fight!
Ladies and Gentleman this is the finest Counting coup strategy and deployment I have ever seen! There is simply no recourse!

Feather Plucker Syndrome

A phenomena of human anti-social behavior shown by crack cocaine addicts. Subconsciously, the addict purposely alienates their person from everyone else by the act of self-mutilation. While alone and under the influence, the person does this by looking into the mirror and picking at his/her face until bleeding occurs.

This type of behavior can be likened to the capture and traumatic displacing of a South American Scarlet Macaw. This is now an in country parrot that plucks its feathers out for seemingly no apparent reason at all.

However, stress and detachment, same as the need to be alone with their addicting drugs causes both the addict and bird a horrific disfigurement.
The doctor says to the crack-head, "Young lady, I'm going to suggest that you seek mental treatment; this is the worst case of Feather Plucker Syndrome I have ever seen!"

"There is only one thing worse in this world than a now reformed bible-toting whore: The fact that she used-to-be an opium addicted feather plucker as well!" Gravy111

Splash the Zeros

Put them in the drink..., Shoot them out of the sky..., Give them a Mitsubishi Migraine that they'll soon forget. These are all terms heard during the South Pacific Theater in WWII. In this case, each one called for the downing of Japanese Zero Fighter Planes. "Splash the Zeros" was the phrase used in the movie, "The Final Countdown."

This "Splash" phrase and "These pretzels are making me thirsty" are opposite in meaning, but same of outcome for the intended purpose. See 'These pretzels are... in This Urban Dictionary' To splash the Zeros' is a privilege for the Urban Dictionary Editor who lives for the rejecting of idiotic and arcane stupidness reflected in most suggested definitions.
Splash the Zeros, I repeat, splash the Zeros, put'em in the deep blue!

Smurffed Adoptee

A feeling "blue" coming of age adopted child, whose adoptive parents will not or cannot provide him with information on his or her birth family.

There is only one known worse situation than being condemned to adopted smurffdom. This added predicament comes instantly to mind, when recognized, is that the victim must face the world as a freckle-faced, red-headed, adopted step-child!
"I'm feeling sad and blue," said the smurffed adoptee after newly informed of his non-being status.

These Pretzels are Making Me Thirsty

To tire of..., To be weary of..., but yet, keep plodding on, doing what it is that causes the weariness. This catchphrase actually come from the "Sienfeld" sitcom.

However, it is easily applied to the state of mind of an Urban Dictionary Editor who has tired of, and grown weary of having to constantly push the, "Do Not Publish" button while at his/her station and thereby curtail and do away with someone's dream of being published!
These pretzels are making me thirsty; no, actually these dry of humor and non-makable of sense suggestions are driving me crazy!
