scratching the paint

From the Spanish phrase "Rayar la pintura" which means to damage the relationship, usually but not always by cheating on a partner.

Bill was a philanderer, his friends all knew that he had been scratching the paint off his marriage for years.
Charlene's tantrums caused John to feel that she'd been scratching the paint on their relationship.

The paint

Another word for anywhere within the 3-point shooting line.

If someone is in the paint too long, they get a three-second-foul. “get out of the paint” - you say towards someone that hogs below the basket.

Paint The Town

Go to all parties around the city. All night, all places.
Also a song by the girl group LOONA (Stan LOONA, ARTMS, Loossemble, Chuu and Yves guys!)

I'm going to Kaylee's party, then Jacob's, then Tylers. I'm going to paint the town!

Lead-Paint Job

From Tidewater Pidgin and Qarsherskiyan English, a Lead-Paint Job means a shooting. It is inferred that paint means blood and lead means lead bullets in this case, when pondering the origin of the term, which first surfaced by at least 1998 in downtown Newport News, VA from the slang and terminology of a now irrelevant gang that was mostly comprised of Qarsherskiyan Vodou practitioners.

There was a terrible Lead-Paint Job at Richneck Elememtary and a 6-year-old nearly ended his teacher, bloody awful, eh?

2. A brand new painting from an artist; they are either braging about there skill and rubbing it in, or they're trying to sell it for food money (they're not called starving artists for nothing)

1. Girl(on instigram): " Got dat fresh paint #freash paint #movingon #Icandobeter #he'sapeiceofshit #bitchbettercatchdeshands #whyme #plstakemeback

2. Artist: "I got some 'freash paint' if you're intrested"
Freind: "how about I pour you a bowl of cereal and you take that box of ramen noodles in the cupboard"
Artist: *threw tears* "thankyou"

When you cum on a tissue and the tissue gets stuck on something

Yesterday my buddy was tissue painting. He got it all over his hands.
