This is a rallying cry for people excited about the stock of a specific company. It became popularized on r/wallstreetbets during the 2021 short squeeze of GameStop's shares (GME), which were being short-sold at a high level by major hedge funds. The high number of buys by WSB forced the hedge funds to repurchase the shares at a much higher price and therefore at a tremendous loss, allowing wage-earning millennials to stick it to Wall St traders and their boomer clients. The millennials who still came out at a loss thought it was worth it.

A very consistent name for the movie.
See, there is an idiom "lock stock and barrel" which means "entirely, from top to bottom".
Also "Lock" is a slang for weed, "Stock" for money, and "barrel" for itself. The major elements in the movie are "copious amounts of ganja", £500,000.00 debt, and two antique shotguns which are used to fight Rory Breaker - who, by the way, is the most cruel and coolest gangster in the world.

It seemed meaningless and lame as a movie name at first, but it all appeared to me when I saw it. It was truely "Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels".

Get the Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels mug.New Old Stock, or NOS for short, refers to retail items or products that are still technically brand new, but have never been sold for long periods of time. This is commonly due to newer and/or upgraded versions of the same product being released, rendering the older models obsolete. Thus, this makes them old stock. But because they're still technically brand new, unused, unsold products, they are termed "new old stock".
New old stock units are typically sold at a greatly reduced price, since most of the focus and attention is put onto selling the current models. Retailers and vendors will usually have various quantities of new old stock left over from the previous product generation cycle, and will sell them at reduced prices to clear them out in order to accommodate for newer models.

John: Whoa, got yourself a new tennis racket huh?
Brian: Yep, only cost $60.
John: Wow that's a steal! How'd you get it for so cheap?
Brian: New old stock. This particular racket model came out in 2014, so it's been replaced numerous times already with fancy newer models. I figured hey, it's still technically brand new anyway, and tennis racket technology hasn't really changed over the past few years, so why the heck not?
