clean it out

procedure to verify that there are no passengers
remaining on a subway train at the terminal stop,
before the train turns around for another run, or
before the train goes to the yard (or gets laid up
on the middle track or on a siding)

phrase gets spoken through the crew intercom
or within earshot of stragglers over the train's
public-address loudspeakers

passengers who either did not hear/understand
the «This is the lasssst stop!» announcement on
the PA get barked at by Motorman/Conductor,
or are roused by the sound of heavy keys banged
on hard plastic or metal bars next to them

passengers who cannot be stirred by noise from
loud keys being smashed/rapped nearby are
extracted from the subway-train car by #TPO

entire sequence must begin and end quickly,
since the trains operate on a tight schedule
PA: «All right, we've got some still on board. Let's
#clean_it_out; CLEAN IT OUT!»
motorman: *walks to middle of train* «Last stop!»
conductor: *patrols rear half of train* «Last stop!»

Sort This Out

This is what a friend says when he wants to fix his group back together. Though since 90% of the world is dumb, his friends might say ok...? after it not knowing how much that makes the guy want to come over there and punch him in the balls
“I’m gonna sort this situation out , it might take a few days, though.”

“Huh? What does sort this out mean”
“It means I’m going to fix everything.”

Out of Shape

In Muscle Cars and Hot Rods...accelerating so powerfully, the back tires lose traction, causing the car to go sideways or even spin around... (out of shape.)
I was on my '66 4-4-2 when this Rice Burner wanted to go for Pinks.

I hit it but went out of shape.

From Little Deuce Coupe by Jan and Dean:
And comin' off the line when the light turns green
Well she blows 'em outta the water like you never seen
I get pushed out of shape and it's hard to steer
When I get rubber in all four gears
