listening to the winds of change

(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.

bus down wind

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.

When you fart and no sound is heard. When there is just air comming out of your butthole and it tickles.

Brown Wind Of Doom

When a man cuts a particularly loud or smelly fart at the wrong time, and any chance of romance for the rest of the evening is ruined.
I was going to get laid last night, but I let loose with the Brown Wind Of Doom.

Reap the Wild Wind

Reap the wild wind
A finger points to show a scene. (Take my hand. Take my hand.)
Another face where mine had been. (Take my hand. Take my hand.)
Another footstep where I once walked. (Take my hand)
Take it all.
You take my hand and give me your friendship.
I'll take my time and send you my slow reply.
Give me an inch and I'll make the best of it.
Take all you want and leave all the rest to die.
Reap the wild wind.
A footprint haunts an empty floor. (Take my hand. Take my hand.)
A fading coat that I once wore. (Take my hand. Take my hand.)
Oh, desolation where I once lived.
I have seen in times gone by.
I have felt a different shadow on the wall,
A stranglehold on a certain feeling.
You take my hand and give me your friendship.
I'll take my time and send you my slow reply.
Give me an inch and I'll make the best of it.
Take all you want and leave all the rest to die.
Reap the wild wind.
You take my hand and give me your friendship.
I'll take my time and send you my slow reply.
Give me an inch and I'll make the best of it.
Take all you want and leave all the rest to die.
Reap the wild wind.
