Give 'em the stick

Phrase used to lull a person into a false sense of attaining a desired thing and then having it taken away before the person takes possession.
*A kid is laying flat on broken ice and his comrades are looking for a way to help him. A grizzly old man, whose land the children are trespassing on pipes in with his advice:

"Alright, give 'em the stick."

Kids lean out to extend the stick to the wayward lad.

"DON'T GIVE 'EM THE STICK!!!"

The kid drowns.

Gut Shoot 'Em at the Border 

Phrase that was commonly used by Idahoans in the late 1970's to refer to the Californians that were ascending on Idaho. Neither the practice nor the term will likely come back into vogue as there are now more Californians in Idaho - look at Coeurdifornia for instance - than there are Idahoans. Gut-shooting may not be legal, but many of them off themselves when they become fatalities on the Goat Trail, Idaho's Highway 95 and one of the nation's 9 deadliest highways.
In the 1970's, "Gut Shoot 'Em at the Border" bumper stickers were common on Idahoans vehicles.

Send em' to the zoo 

A category of Red Zebra; someone who uses this phrase is emphasizing that they would prefer to return to their home instead of being there. Not to be confused with ' took em' to the zoo ' but rather it is a euphemism for a mild case of being home sick.
Person 1: What type of Red Zebra are you?

Person 2: Oh god, send em' to the zoo.
