An opening move in chess. It is performed by throwing the heaviest piece on the board (usually the Queen or a Rook) at the back of your opponent's head when they turn around to get drinks. If successful, this move causes an instant checkmate and prevents the playing of any further games against this opponent.
Person 1: "Oh snap, he just used THE FLYING SCOTSMAN TO DENVER!"

Person 2: "Oh man, and it was SUPER EFFECTIVE!"

The Scorsese Effect

Named after filmmaker Martin Scorsese, the "Scorsese Effect" is when a work of art is created to negatively portray a character or group of people, but unintentionally inspires fans to try and imitate them. Usually these people misunderstand the point of the film and think the message was to try and be like the protagonist. Many of Scorsese's movies are centered around characters like these, such as "The Wolf of Wall Street," "Taxi Driver," and "Goodfellas".

Other examples include "Fight Club," "Breaking Bad," "The Sopranos," and the Joker.
Guy 1: Doesn't Mark understand the point of Fight Club was to show what can happen when men try to compartmentalize their anger and aggression into physical violence?

Guy 2: Yeah, it's the Scorsese Effect at work.

Mark: We live in a society.

scouser

Person from Liverpool.

The nice ones are really nice, ie very friendly & chatty, like to take the mickey out of all and sundry and as honest and trustworthy as the day is long.

Bad ones are quite possible the most irritating people ever met, with large chips on their shoulder who whinge a lot and can't be trusted as far as they can be thrown.

Visitors from other countries (and also from the UK) can generally not always understand scousers with strong accents.
eg.
Good - Ken Dodd (except for the whole tax evasion thing)

Bad - Wayne Rooney (despite the obvious talent on the field)
