Shine-box

(verb transitive; present-progressive, "shine-boxing;" past tense, "shine-boxed"): To repeatedly taunt and insinuate another person on a sensitive topic to the point that the insulted party becomes violently angry.
Billy Batts shine-boxes Tommy in the film "Goodfellas" by continuing to refer to Tommy's past, in spite of Tommy's repeated requests for Batts to stop. This reaches a climax when a pretense to be respectful is shattered as Batts yells loud enough for everyone in the bar to hear, "Now go home and get your fucking shine box!"

shit, shave, shower and shine

Originating in the U.S. Army of WWII, this is the shorthand slogan to describe the hygiene preparation an enlisted soldier must do to ready himself for a military inspection by superiors.

"Shine" refers to the careful and thorough polishing of one's black military boots.

Now it has entered civilian use to mean preparation for any important social event in which one must look good, often abbreviated nowadays to just "shit, shave and shower".
Soldier 1: "We've got an inspection later today from the brass."

Soldier 2: "Guess it's time to shit, shave, shower and shine."
