To take your time and be cautious when crossing rivers, but also not so cautious that you will only cross a river if there is a ferry present.
Originally a mindset used in the classic computer game The Oregon Trail, but can also be a way of life.

Don't be foolhardy and just try to ford the river. Take your time, be cautious, caulk the wagon and float it.

Get the New Flood mug.N.- female that is in a rather dark stage of uncontrolable emotions, yet still wants to look their best to the outside world. Can also occasionally be used for a male.
April was being an emo flower, meaning after she cried herself to sleep, she would get up the next morning, cover her scars and make herself smile so no one would see that she was broken.

Get the Emo Flower mug.The sound you hear when you go to hell. So basically it's this song that you can use for your alarm on like your phone or something but it's freaky AF. Some people like it, some people hate it. And I'm one of those people who hate it, and now I have it stuck in my head. Thanks, Satan! :)
Tomorrow was the big test, and Sarah was ready. She spent many days studying for it, and now, she was prepared. She set her alarm for 6:00 am and fell asleep confident and determined to pass this test.
An hour passed and her annoying little brother Jake snuck into her room and changed her alarm to Morning Flower at full volume hoping for her to have a bad day because she ate his leftover food from Chipotle.
*The next day*
It was a minute before 6 o'clock and Sarah was still asleep, waiting to be waken by her alarm. The clock hit 6:00 and Morning Flower blasted from her phone. Sarah woke up in shock and then felt a little bit of fear. That fear soon turned into the urge to go jump off a cliff. She started crying and turned off the alarm. She didn't want to go to school. She didn't care about the test. Her whole day was ruined, and for the rest of her life, she lived with PTSD... THE END
Damn, all of that just to show how terrifying that song is? Makes sense...

Get the Morning Flower mug.A name given to Charles Arthur Floyd, a notorious bank robber that operated during the depression-era. Pretty Boy Floyd was one of the Public Enemies during this time period, along with John Dillinger, Baby Face Nelson, Alvin Karpis...etc.
Floyd was a native of Oklahoma, where he commited his first few crimes, his first crime being the theft of $3.50 in pennies from a local post office. He was first arrested after robbing an armored truck with an accomplice, in which he was incarcerated for 3 years, during which his wife, Ruby Floyd, divored him.
After serving his sentence, he attempted to find work, but to no avail, as few jobs would accept a ex-felon. He then turned to a life of crime carried out with various accomplices, one of which was with him during his armored car robbery.
After many robberies, he then reconciled with his wife and moved away with his wife and son. Close to this time is when he met George Birdwell, a fellow bank robber. With George and two women whom for one of which Floyd persued a relationship with, the Floyd gang was established. After his friend and accomplice George Birdwell was killed in an attempt to rob a bank, he then slowed down his bank robbing career, as he slowly crept up the ranks on the Public Enemy list.
He was also, by many accounts, falsely accused for murdering several government agents in an attempt to free a incarcerated criminal being transported(who was ironically killed in the attempt). It is unknown if the two had worked together, but it is highly unlikely.
One day, when Floyd and accomplice Adam Richetti were sitting near their car, which had broken down and they were waiting for his other two accomplices to bring help(later to find out they were apprehended), a farmer had spotted the two along the road and alerted authorities. Floyd managed to escape while Richetti was caught after a brief firefight with police.
With no transportation, as well as the inability to use roads due to police activity, Floyd was forced to retreat to the woods, where he roamed for three days before stumbling across a family's farm. The family fed him and gave him clothes, but the police discovered his location a few hours later.
Seeing no other option, Floyd fled across an open field and was gunned down by agent Melvin Purvis(which later proved conflicting as to who truly shot him as many claimed different stories). Floyd's last words were, "my name is Charles...Arthur...Floyd!" after Purvis asked if he was "Pretty Boy Floyd", a name which he hated.

"Pretty Boy Floyd" originated after witness's claim he looked like "a pretty boy", and the name stuck.
