drop the hammer

An idiomatic expression meaning roughly "to explode in a fit of rage and fury", it is derived from the action of a firearm hammer "dropping" -- or striking -- the firing pin which in turn impacts the round and causes the mini explosion that results in a bullet or other projectile being launched at a high velocity out of the end of a barrel.

The expression can be used in several different variations with the above definition: 1) ...part. in a draconian way 2) ...leaving a wake of destruction in its path 3) ...against a very specific target with precision; etc.
"I have a clear shot of the target. Requesting permission to engage."
"You have the green light. Drop the hammer on that motherfucker."
BANG. Bad guy fall down.

drop the chalupa

In prison, an inmate is asked to "drop the chalupa" which means to squad down, lean forward enough for the guard to see their asshole, then cough. This is how guards check for things shoved up the ass.
Hey offender, why are you acting weird? Get out of them and drop the chalupa!

Drop the Soap

What not to do when you are taking a shower in Prison, because you will have to bend over to pick it up and if you're not quick enough, you will get anally raped by a fellow inmate.
Man, that guy is so dumb that he was voted among his classmates as most likely to drop the soap.
