forced my lute

A phrase used in "An Experiment concerning the Spirit of Coals", a letter to Robert Boyle from John Clayton.

Its literal meaning would be that the preassure created during the experiment was enough to breeak the "lute", which was a substance used to make seals between various chemistry apparatus (1)

A more modern use of the phrase thats recently started to recently arise, is to use it as an alternative to "grinds my gears" (2)

Unrelenting Force

A phrase shouted in Dovahzul, or "Dragonish," coming out as "Fus Ro Dah." "Fus" means Force, "Ro" means Balance, and "Dah" means Push. Simply yelling this phrase will not do anything, however. You must have the power of a dragon's soul. Nobody in this world has ever done a successful Unrelenting Force shout, due to the fact that no dragons have ever been seen here, and even if there had been, they would need some way to kill the dragon and absorb the dragon's soul, unless they were Dovahkiin, or Dragonborn. The phrase's words can be said individually, but they are most commonly said together.
The Unrelenting Force shout is rarely used an anything but an exclamation - "FUS RO DAH!" -or- "Fus... RO DAH!
