(lyrics from the song "wind of change" by The Scorpions) :
a phrase meaning: to be clever enough to (correctly) detect and/or predict patterns of future social change in one's society, and adapt to said patterns before most other people around you.

during the 2016 presidential election campaign most higher ups in the democratic party didnt start listening to the winds of change until it was too late, but instead focused on perpetuating obama's legacy; no wonder they lost the election.

Get the listening to the winds of changemug. The term Bus down wind (or Bus DW) is used in the context of surfski downwind events. In a surfski down wind event a group of paddlers gather to paddle/surf down wind from point a to point b. The group is logistically challenged by getting by car to the start of the event (point a) and yet have enough cars waiting at the finish line (point b) to be able to bring at least one driver per car left at point a back to point b. A Bus down wind refers to a logistical set-up of a single paddler down wind event. The paddler drives to point a, drops the surfski, drives to point b, leaves the car, goes back to point a by bus, performs the down wind run to point b, loads the ski on the car and goes back home.

Get the bus down windmug. Imagine your a god right? And your being punished by the other gods for something, so they send you back down to earth to be reincarnated as a mortal.
When you get to earth you wake up in the middle of this rice field in the middle of feudal japan. You Don't know why you are there, but you know you are there for a REASON.
You Take a deep breath in. HHHHHHHHHH But it is not air you breathe! It is thick and yellow and tastes like marshmallow dust. and you know what it is? HARD BOILED WIND.

Get the Hard Boiled Windmug. A wind-slapper is a sexual act of when a man lays down on his back. A woman will be riding his cock in cow-girl position. The female partner will then proceed to release flatulence over the male counterparts scrotum, making the balls slap together inside the bag
"Ive been meaning to try out a new move. It's called a wind-slapper. Essentially you just need to fart on my balls, while you're riding my penis."

Get the Golden wind teammug. the phrase (used in the UK) that refers to how much faster a joint finishes when it’s windy outside. this is because the stonger the wind is, the faster the smoke will be lost/blown out, so essentially the wind is “taxing” your smoke.
“Aw where’s half my zoot gone?! I know I haven’t smoked that much…”
“That’s wind tax for you.”

Get the wind taxmug. The unexplainable, but rather enjoyable rush of wind that is emitted up the stairwells leading to the subway system.

Jim- What's wrong with you, man? The store's just around the corner.
Bob- I just want a dose of Mystery-wind.
