Monkey Beating An Engine With A Hammer  

A parable passed down for generations describing the futility of the unintelligent to perform simple tasks.

Since ancient times, when an imbecile, ill-advised coworker or friend has attempted an assignment beyond their capabilities, they are often compared to a monkey endlessly trying to fix an engine that won't start by beating on it with a hammer, because monkeys do not possess the skills of a mechanic.

Bandit Beater 

A term originating from (and almost exclusively used on) Roblox used to describe low effort RPG games with repetitive gameplay, uninteresting combat, and little absolute 0 replay value. If the game is a Bandit Beater there is also a solid chance it's also a Cash grab.
"Person 1: So how is that new game that dropped like?"

"Person 2: 30 minutes in and the only thing I've been doing is punching stupid NPC's that don't even block."

"Person 1: Oh wow, yet another Bandit Beater."
This is a word that was started in the 60's by the Smith family and then spread state wide by the Skjod girls. It is a word used to describe a woman's private part. It seemed more appropriate than the actual medical term. It is also a word used to describe someone who is silly or acting silly.

beating army

A common colloquialism for "jerking off" at the US Naval Academy. Perhaps the most popular pastime among male midshipmen, due to a natural aversion towards dark siding, a general lack of attractive young women, and the ever present fear of being SAPR'd. Not to be confused with the female equivalent, "plebing your cover", which is a play on the term for the way freshmen (plebes) carry their covers (hats) by spreading their hand on the inside and carrying by their side.
