The bull is off the nickel

"Bull" is being used as a double entendre -- meaning both the animal shown on the nickel and the other meaning of stupid or untrue talk or writing; nonsense. So, the bull is coming off the nickel and bring applied to the situation at hand. The situation at hand being nonsensical.

This obscure phrase is famously used in the Twilight Zone episode "Mr. Garrity and the Graves". Rod Serling, in the intro, uses this expression in referring to Jared Garrity, who makes a living restoring life to the dead.
"Mr. Garrity, if one can believe him, is a resurrecter of the dead - which, on the face of it, certainly sounds like the bull is off the nickel." -- Rod Serling

Ended Up at Bulls

When a plan that was going smoothly ends in a trashy disaster.
"I was studying very well, then I Ended Up at Bulls" "This girl and I were having a great night, and then we Ended Up at Bulls" "This girl in class leaned over and asked if I was the really good dancer at Bulls 2 days ago, and that is when I found out I Ended Up at Bulls on Thursday"

the red bull hour

That time of day when, all of a sudden, your pet, or a person, gets a sudden, almost volcanic, burst of energy. The red bull hour does not require the consumption of red bull.
It always gets to be around 7pm when my dog Frank will hit the red bull hour and will run screaming around the garden like the devil is on his tail. After the red bull hour Frank is always ready to go to bed for the night.
