tighten up the graphics

1) To work at an introductory-level tech position.
2) To attempt a feat without knowledge of how it can be done.

Phrase originates from a Westwood College commercial, in which two young videogame designers, dressed in 70s attire, report to their boss that they are "almost done with level 3, and need to tighten up the graphics a little bit."

1) "Once I move back to Arlington I'm gonna tighten up the graphics for Adobe Systems."

2) "I'm almost done with my quadratics homework, I just need to tighten up the graphics a little bit."

The Great Depression 

When you forget your beans at home.

the Geritol crowd

Senior citizens. Could be used affectionately, humorously, derisively, or simply as a matter of fact depending on the speaker's tone of voice and whether s/he is a senior citizen.

John, give the Geritol crowd a break when you get on the bus. Those "Priority Seating" signs are there for a reason. It's very difficult for a senior citizen who needs to get around to do, say, shopping, to sit down or get up if s/he has sciatica and is forced to sit in the back of the bus.

the golden seal 

The Golden Seal is a metaphorical seal; when consuming alcohol, to break The Golden Seal is fatal. Once broken, you never stop peeing, and the effects of the alcohol seem to wear off increasingly each time. It is recommended that The Golden Seal is only broken on the verge of an accident, as in some cases if it is broken as an accident, the accidents in turn will continue.

Dont break The Golden Seal- you'll be going all night!

The Guy Behind Omar Suleiman 

During the Egyptian revolution of 25th January, places like Tahrir Square, Suez and KFC, and names like Wael Ghonim, Omar Suleiman and Hosni Mubarak have grabbed the attention of the world. But just hours after the Egyptian people toppled their regime, the focus had switched to a single person - the ‘guy behind Omar Suleiman'

Some say this man participated in three past wars and died twice before. Some say he is the Intelligence commander in the former Soviet Union. Some say after the fame of the guy behind Omar Suleiman, Omar Suleiman decided to change his name to become the guy in front of the guy behind Omar Suleiman.

All we know is that he is a strong, honored, trustworthy, amazing, feared, awesome, respected, cool guy.

A guy sees Omar Suleiman walking in the street.

Guy: I wish I was cool enough to have The Guy Behind Omar Suleiman stand behind me.

The Gauntlet 

A drinking game where cards are placed face down in a diamond formation 1-2-3-2-1. Participants turn over the cards at one end, then selecting a card from the next row and so on until they complete the gauntlet. If a player pulls a face card they drink. 1,2,3 & 4 fingers of their drink for pulling a J,Q,K & A respectively. The cards that have been turned over are then replaced with face down cards from the deck and they must start again. The gauntlet is only completed when a player makes a clean run i.e. goes through all rows without picking a face card.

dude Tom Jones just ran the perfect gauntlet' or 'did you hear, Steve Morrell has never completed the gauntlet
