Choking the alligator 

To trick a foreigner by telling them something false about or relating to America. Comes from the classic underground film Stranger Than Paradise.
I told my Hungarian cousin Eva that in America instead of saying vaccuming the floor we say "Choking the Alligator".

feed the alligators 

to evacuate one's bowels (i.e. to take a shit ) esp. when one expects it will be particularly voluminous. (refers to the urban legend of alligators living in city sewers)
Sam: I need to go feed the alligators.
Cam: Huh?
Sam: You know, drop the kids off at the pool, kill a fish, give birth to a new politician?
Cam: take a shit?
Sam: Isn't that what I said?

feeding the alligators 

When one exposes themselves to fiction that stimulates our negative qualities (like horror fiction) so that they can work through them in a healthy and harmless environment as catharsis.
Serial killers and other murderers appeal to the impulse Stephen King calls "feeding the alligators," and Carl Jung called "integration of the shadow self," but it all means the same thing: that entertaining our own dark side can be therapeutic.

Gong the Alligator 

When your boss or owner the company you work for belligerently attempts to hype up the workers, but instead causes everyone to waste time by making fun of their insincere and lame efforts. Could also refer to the act of screaming and yelling on a sales floor while everyone else just stares at you while you make a fool of yourself.
We got three more days and a wake-up this month! Let's gong the alligator! Nobody can leave until you are either over your goals or peeing blood!

wrestling the alligator 

When going down on a woman... when she cums, her thighs constrict around one's head, and she starts bucking wildly. You have to hang on for dear life lest your neck be snapped by the her powerful "jaws"
"Man, I was wrestling the alligator last night and now I have this crick in my neck that is killing me!"
