Break the Ice

A colloquial phrase used to denote a time in an individual's life where they have to dig deep in order to overcome tremendous personal adversity. Often used when someone's back is against the wall and they must believe in them self in order to beat the odds and come out on top.

This phrase is based on Australian pop sensation/feathered hair model, John Farnham's, inspirational title track to the 1986 hit BMX movie, Rad. The song itself is entitled "Break the Ice."
It's going to take a lot more than skill for Cru Jones to conquer Helltrack, the toughest BMX challenge in the world. He's going to have to really dig deep and believe in himself if he wants to break the ice.

When it seemed like the odds were stacked too high against him, John dug deep and broke the ice when he asked Kelly for her number right before last call.

Even though everyone in his life told him it couldn't be done, Todd believed in himself and broke the ice when he threw back his 12th shot of tequilla in one night.

break bad

similar to "crack wise" from an earlier era, except that where one who cracks wise is at most sarcastic and disrespectful (and may be just funnin' in genuine good humor), one who breaks bad has escalated to being combative, belligerent, or threatening; while not excluded, there need be no humor, attempted humor, or affected humor involved when a person breaks bad, again by contrast to cracking wise.
"Joe was talking shit to Ted, and it actually was kinda funny, but then Ted broke bad and started gettin' up in Joe's face. For a little bit, I thought they were maybe going to really mix it up."

"Don't break bad with me, motherfucker."
