Apply pressure 

To overcome obstacles and excel with finesse at any given task due to an individual’s brute will power. 💪🏽 often at the expense of lost sleep, occasionally lost friendships, and less free time.

Casino Pressure 

An influence similar to peer pressure, caused by any casino when its sheer magnitude of slots, tables, people gambling, etc induces you to gamble, especially when you had no intention of gambling at that moment. Usually, but not always results in losing money.
After losing $300 the first night playing blackjack, I swore to not gamble for the next day, but a few hours later the casino pressure got to me and I ended up losing another $300.

Under Pressure 

A song performed by the band Queen and co-written by David Bowie. The beat was shamefully ripped-off by Vanilla Ice. But even through that and all of time the song and all it's greatness will never die.
"Boom boom ba deh, boom boom ba deh, bubba boom ba beh beh

Pressure
Pushing down on me
Pressing down on you, no man ask for
Under pressure
That burns a building down
Splits a family in two, puts people on the streets

Boom ba ba beh, boom ba ba beh, bee deh dop, ee deh dop

It's the terror of knowing what this world is about
Watching some good friends scream "Let me out"
Pray tomorrow gets me higher
Pressure on people
People on streets

Deh deh det, ooh, ba da da da bom, O K

Trippin' around (kick my brains 'round the floor)
These are the days (it never rains but it pours)

Ee do da dep, ee da do bop bop, ee do bop, dee bop

People on the streets, dee da dee da det
People on the streets, dee da dee da dee da dee da

It's the terror of knowing what this world is about
Watching some good friends scream "Let me out"
Pray tomorrow gets me higher, higher, high

Turned away from it all like a blind man
Sat on a fence but it don't work
Keep coming up with love but it's so slashed and torn
Why, why, why?
Insanity laughs, under pressure we're cracking

Can't we give ourselves one more chance?
Why can't we give love that one more chance?
Why can't we give love, give love, give love, give love, give love, give love, give love...?

'Cause love's such an old-fashioned word
And love dares you to care for
The people on the edge of the night
And love dares you to change our way of
Caring about ourselves
This is our last dance
This is our last dance
This is ourselves... Under pressure
Under pressure
Pressure"

Pew Pressure 

The phenomenon that occurs in a Catholic Church when someone stands at the wrong time and the rest of the congregation stands up too. This usually happens because no one really knows when to sit, stand, and kneel so they copy those around them.

This phrase comes from the commonly known phrase "peer pressure".
Mrs. McCreedy accidentally started to stand up during the blessing of the body and blood and was going to subtly sit back down, but, to her horror, those around her succumbed to pew pressure and were starting to stand up too. She was forced to stand up the rest of the way because she didn't want to be the only one still sitting.
