Shooting for a Hermie

A fool's errand. Repeatedly attempting to accomplish the impossible. Refers to the practice of gypsy folk in 13th Century Transylvania who kept having kids in their obsessive desire to have brats with both sets of junk.

Yo. Ain't no way the Trash Panda's going to hook up with T-Bone. That cat's just shooting for a hermie, and should just pack it the fuck in.

fuck this for a game of soldiers

English phrase in an undesirable situation often used in resignation or denial. Translates as the American goddammit or fuck this. Common in Belfast as "game of soldiers" but in England is interchangeable with "Bugger this for a lark".

Ed:Let's set fire to the toilet!
Ian:Fuck off!
Ed:Go on! No one'll know.
Ian:Fuck this for a game of soldiers.

Foragers

People who support themselves by hunting wild animals and gathering wild edible plants and insects.

Modern foragers in the Kalahari Desert of southern Africa and the Ituri Forest of Central Africa derive the bulk of their day-to-day nourishment from wild vegetable foods.

Queen For A Day

An inadvertently culturally lampooning game show from the fifties and sixties that sought to recognize and reward the selfless everyday experiences of competing homemakers by gifting the most miserable and economically disadvantaged woman with prizes that allowed her to reign for one magical day before she returned to her real life to cook and clean on a higher plane with kitchen and washday appliances beyond her wildest dreams.

In 1962 my mom was crowned Queen For A Day for her commendable long suffering willingness to be our most beloved and highly expert in-house tutor, chef, maid and life coach.

Requiem For a Dream

One of the few R-rated films I would not recommend viewing until you are actually of age... My God.... BUT amazing, nonetheless.

"Hey, man, I just watched Requiem For a Dream. Listen, have you seen my eye sockets? I can't find them anywhere... Oh, there's! - no, nevermind, that's just a chunk of my skull... Well, I guess I might as well pick that up too."
