I'm like Poncio Pilates

On the bible there is a passagein Mattew that tells a episode from the Judgement of jesus Christ :
Pilate Washes his Hands
23“Why?” asked Pilate. “What has He done wrong?” But they shouted all the louder, “Crucify Him!” 24When Pilate saw that he was accomplishing nothing, but that instead a riot was breaking out, he took water and washed his hands before the crowd. “I am innocent of this man’s blood, he said. “You shall bear the responsibility.” 25All the people answered, “His blood be on us and on our children!”…

So, in another words as well as pilatos did an said we can see by the context that he was with tied hands ,we can use the name of him to explain that we are with Tied hands too so ,instead of sayin' " i can't do that ",i'm with tied hands "or i'm unable this moment ",we can use another form of sayin' : 'I'm like Poncio pilates ". it is good for those that understand the bible .

From Herod to Pilate

When you have to run back and forth between two or more people/officials/offices (seemingly to no end) in hopes of resolving your issue. Typically used in the world of bureaucracy where one hand often doesn't know what the other is doing and no one has an answer to your question.

I have been sent back and forth from Herod to Pilate for a year now to get a verification-stamp on my passport and now you're telling me that you don't really have the TIME??

playful pirouette pivot

Refers to da humorous "waist-grasp and reverse-direction-swing" action dat ya perform wif a hot chick while you're out strolling da beach/countryside wif her, and you realize dat either (1) it's getting late in da day and so ya wanna be sure of getting yer snuggle-bun "back home to her mama" before dark, or (2) one or both of you has chores/appointments dat you shouldn't be late for, or (3) you've already trekked quite a long way, and so you're concerned dat one or both of you might get weary/achy legs if you journeyed any farther and then hadda clomp all da way back again.

Whenever Tiffany and I are out for a walk, I always smilingly employ da playful pirouette pivot --- complete wif a chuckly-musical "B-d-d-d-d-d-d-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-u-h-h-m-m-p-p!" sound as I twirl her halfway around --- to help take da "sting" out of da fact dat we hafta start heading back again... sooooo much more pleasant dan simply saying, "Let's turn around now."
