The act of becoming "Tooled Up", in which the participator enters a semi-god status, and is invulnerable to fire, magic and all forms of physical pain. Tooling It Up is a very draining experience, and often the user must spend several hours recupriating after Tooling It Up.

To initiate the process of Tooling It Up, a person must raise his right fist above his head, and cry "TOOL IT UP!"

Warning: Do not Tool It Up unless you have eaten your breakfast, as it is a very draining experience

Power Couple 

A relationship between two people who are equally as cool as each other. They are as individually awesome and fun to be around as they are when they are together.

Neither one depends on the other for their feelings of self worth- they know in their heart that they are just as valuable to the world as the other. Good looking, optimistic, and sparks a light in the world that people recognize that goes beyond a normal relationship.

In a power couple, if one person is flawed, the other person makes up for their weaknesses in strength. Together they are the epitome of what anyone would desire in a relationship. They encourage goodness in the world and make it a better place by being together.
I'm a fan of those two, they are such a power couple, the epitome of what anyone would want in a relationship.

I am envious of them because they are a power couple.
