turd in the punch bowl

1. Southernism. Adds a certain repugnance to describe an idea, remark or occurrence that fell flat, killed conversation, was socially unacceptable, or went over like the proverbial lead balloon.

2. Similarly, a gauche, socially inept or unwelcome person who has a stultifying effect on social gatherings, or, by extension, was involved in some futile or hugely unpopular effort.
.
1. -- "All I did was tell one harmless little dirty joke and the whole room went silent. Apparently I had crossed some kind of taboo. No one even chuckled at the joke; it was a veritable turd in the punchbowl. I felt like one too, since the whole party immediately seized up and everyone stared at me."

2.(a) -- "There we were discussing local politics, and who shows up uninvited and parks himself right in the middle of our group? Little Georgie, the mayor's brat, who has an unerring sense of inappropriateness. I'd rather see a turd in the punch bowl than have to deal with that nuisance."

(b) "Practically everyone in town was in favor of a weeknight youth curfew, but as usual our "freethinking" pastor went contrary and opposed it. He didn't change anyone's mind. I think he's a jinx! A turd in the punch bowl of civic affairs."

Shark Punch

A powerful and explosive uppercut delivered to the an unsuspecting females vagina from below.

(This uppercut tries to duplicate hunting patterns of the Great White Sharks off of Seal Island in Southern Africa. Where the sharks have learned to wait for prey in the murky depths, then they swim upward at great speeds, slamming into it's prey sending it dazed up several feet into air.)
Dude, I never saw that "Shark Punch" coming and I don't think her vagina saw it either.

proud as punch

Believed to come from the English punch and Judy show that was popular at all seaside resorts. The character Punch was a proud fellow who would never admit to being wrong. This puppet character was in fact a bully with total disrespect for the law and family values. He often threw the baby out of the pram. See any listing for punch & Judy or Punch & Judy show.

The expression Proud as Punch was originally a derogatory term but slowly was reduced to expressing how someone was feeling.
