land sakes alive

Used as a general term of exclamation or surprise similar to oh my lord, or oh my goodness, or oh shit. Mostly used by people in the 1930's, 1940's, and 1950's. Possibly a minced oath (softened form of swearing) substitute for "For the Lord's sake."

See also land sake.

Land sakes alive, my grandmother said. That sure was a swell sunset.

Land it like Walt

The opposite of the phrase "Land it like Sully." In this case, the guy or gal who somehow skates off successfully without actually doing any real work yet scores an even better gig anyway.

It is about time Chris left, they were about to realize he doesn't actually do anything at work. He got another 6 figure job anyway, he'll Land it like Walt.

Land Down Under

Australia. Appropriate nickname because of its location (below Asia) and the extreme differences between Australia and other continents/countries.

Animals: Koalas, Kangaroos, Echidnas, Platypi (Platypusses?), and Tasmanian Devils are creatures that only inhabit Australia in the wild.

Seasons: Australian summer is most other countries' winter, and vice versa.

Land: Mostly desert and open plains. Probably contains the highest percent of desert of any continent (Antarctica is tundra, not desert).

This would also be a good nickname for Antarctica, which is literally under every continent.

I'm not sure if the Land Down Under has any urban slang, unless you consider "Blimey!" and "mate" to be UrbanSpeak.
