big help

Somebody who either isn't, or somebody who can only be trusted to help you with that one menial task that would save you about 20 minutes of walking around. Invariably spoken with a slight hesitation before the term.

Johnson was a, uh, big help today as he told me when the light stopped blinking on the router.

loan shark

A money lender who loans money to desperate borrowers at ridiculous terms, and uses criminal means to intimidate the money back from the borrower if they can't get the interest back.

The loan shark broke Peter's knees when he couldn't cough up $100.

take a number

Figurative: "If you want to discuss this topic with me, you will need to wait your turn, as there are any number of others who wish to do so who got here before you did."

Comes from a line control mechanism that is found today with decreasing frequency, where one is requested to take a numbered ticket from a strategically placed dispenser and accordingly wait for that number to be called.

Your computer just blew up? Take a number, I've been getting calls on that all day.

feminazi

A feminist gone off the deep-end. One who has gone beyond looking for equality in gender and professes a full-blown hatred of men.

Apparently originated by right-wing commentator Rush Limbaugh.

The feminazis are after your soul!
