Possession is nine-tenths of the law

1. If you actually possess something, you have a stronger legal claim to owning it than someone who merely says it belongs to him or her.
2. something that you say which means that if you have something, it is difficult for other people to take it away from you.

1. Dana may say he owns this house, but we actually live in it, and possession is nine-tenths of the law.
2. It would be hard to ask for the piano back after they've had it for so long. Possession is nine-tenths of the law and all that.

possiblie

An intentional misspelling and mispronunciation that illustrates the hubris of ever claiming that nothing could possibly go wrong. From the episode of The Simpsons where Itchy and Scratchy Land is described as the place "...where nothing could possiblie go wrong. Oh. That's the first thing that's ever gone wrong." Itchy and Scratchy Land is a takeoff of Jurassic Park, which itself is hubris in theme-park form. Possiblie is used when it is obvious that something probably will go wrong.

I don't need to read the instructions. What could possiblie go wrong?

bridge and tunnel posse

Girls who live in Jersey, the Bronx, Queens, Brooklyn or worse Long Island who go into Manhattan on the weekend for clubbing. The term primarily refers to girls from Jersey or LI.

Bridge and Tunnel because that is their mode of transportation into/out of the island. Posse because they frequently travel in large packs.

Jenny's ripped jeans and Springsteen t-shirt gave her away as a member of the Bridge and Tunnel posse.

awesome possum

A word which means the same as 'awesome', except that by adding 'possum' at the end it sounds waaaay more awesome. Just because it rhymes. Contrary to its name, it has nothing to do with possums at all, and is just there to make it sound more interesting e.g. Liar liar, pants on fire.

Zak: "Hey dude, do you remember Sisqo's Thong Song?"
Caleb: "Yeah man, awesome video eh?"
Zak: " "Yeah man. Awesome possum!"

Possum stomp

Slang for "opossum stomp".

Wrestling move in which victim is held upside down by the ankles and smashed violently, headfirst, into the ground.

This is a completely justifiable and necessary recourse in the event that one's opponent is "playing opossum", or just being a bitch.

"Boy, I'm gonna' possum stomp your head into your ass," laughed the friendly neighborhood policeman.
