The use of brute-force and hard solutions to beat a problem into shape, created from a moral righteousness through strength. Contrast with soft power.
"Toby Maguire's Spider-Man largely uses what's known in international relations as hard power - he rushes into battle, relying on brute strength to stop his foes. There's no time for negotiations with the Green Goblin, Doc Ock and The Sandman. Just some good ol' fashioned fisticuffs"

When a rock star like William Hung becomes erect and then, with a running start, slides 10-15 feet across the ground on his knees and is stopped only upon impact of inserting his penis into a choice orifice of girl/groupie bent over on her hands and knees.
My favorite scene in the movie Rock Star was when Mark Whalberg used that kid's slip n slide to power slide into Jennifer Aniston.

The act of spontaneously committing to a lengthy and preferably dangerous road-trip with one or more friends. The Power-Drive is an utterly patriarchal socio-cultural phenomenon and cannot be carried out by women. When women do this it is called PMS on wheels. The spontaneity of the Power-Drive is sacred, it cannot be premeditated and it cannot be convenient. It is a dangerous and gratifying ritual which pitches a team of steel-gutted wing-wheeled bros against such odds as: fatigue, bad weather, the emptiness of a pauper's gas tank and sobriety. The consumption of nicotine is a traditional part of the Power-Drive but is not requisite.
"The highway's filled with broken heroes on a last chance Power-Drive." -from Bruce Springsteen's: Born to Run

A type of nap (best when aided by PowerNap) that lasts about 20 minutes, and is extremely refreshing.
Hey, man, look at that awesome guy over there! He is taking a Power Nap with his brand new PowerNap! I'm so jealous!

Similar to power nap, the concept of taking a quick nap to relieve exhaustion, but applied to showering. One takes a power shower when they have just engaged in a sweaty activity (i.e., sex or sports) and doesn't have time for a full-length shower. Usually involved rinsing down with soap, instead of shampoo, conditioner, and shaving.
"I had a quickie with my boyfriend during my lunch break today!"
"Didn't you feel gross afterwards?"
"Well, I didn't have time to take the shower I wanted to, so I just took a power shower!"
