"checks and balances" system

A form of government-operation whereby you are guaranteed "level" or "fair overall" treatment if you are generous with your "checks" to bribe local/state/federal officials, or if you are sufficiently rich (i.e., you have a large enough "balance" in da bank) that said officials feel obliged to make special allowances for you.

We may ostensibly have a "checks and balances" system, but it never seems to help out "da little guy" very much.

System Of A Down

The best band Nu Metal has got to offer. I like the simplicity of their songs and the catchy melodies along with the heavy riffs, usually in Drop C or Drop C# tuning. Not to mention, they go nuts in all their songs and Serj Tankian is like a wind up crack monkey. People have referred to System Of A Down as a pop band, but these people should be ignored as they have no idea what they're talking about.

System Of A Down rules and their songs are fucking hilarious

Lube Tech Exhaust System

When broke ass lube technicians own a car worth $1000 or less and decides to install a cat back exhaust system and it sounds like a bunch of garbage rattling around in a coffee can. It’s a must have for lube technicians to be able to socialize with other lube technicians.

Good god can you hear that shitbox coming down the street Steve? Sounds like a fucked up weedwacker.

Steve: Sure can! It’s those fucking lube technicians thinking they have a Lamborghini or some shit. Those worthless bitches put the lube tech exhaust system on their cars.

Spoils system

A term defined by Senator William Marcy, the spoils system is a political system in which someone who is elected appoints people who are loyal to them instead of those who are most capable. It was first created in America by Andrew Jackson during the early 1800’s, and began to get phased out by the turn of the century

Man, I sure do hate the spoils system!
