ride the lightning

To be executed by electrocution. Most commonly, the electric chair.
"Ole' boy's gonna ride the lighting for killing that man."

And you, Elaine. You'd die, too, and my curse is knowing I'll be there to see it. That's my punishment, you see? My punishment for letting John Coffey ride the lightning. For killing a miracle of God.

gas lighting

1. to tell a bald faced lie to someone and then brazenly deny that this was ever done

2. to give a person the frustration of moving their keys, purse, wallet, condoms, or other object and to then claim they were never moved or the person had done it themself

3. a frequent tool in the slickery dick or slickery clit's toolkit for infidelity

4. an insidious tool in the hands of unscrupulous mind-screwers and sociopaths

5. to tell a lie (consciously or unconsciously) without regard for whether or not you undermine another person's sanity/ perception of reality

It comes from the 1938 movie Gas Light.
Tommy Lee was gas lighting Elizabeth Taylor until she lost her mind. Mr. Lee should be shot.

Courtney Love leveled Kurt Cobain, not just with the multiple affairs, but by gently undermining his self respect with a little known procedure called gas lighting. He didn't even know he was a pound overweight until he was 20 pounds overweight. Poor guy.

It is a sign of the slow progress of culture that something as insidious as gas lighting can fail to be widely known, except in a slang dictionary definition, nearly three quarters of a century later than the movie by the same name.

lightning mclean

A name for the ship between Jason Grace and Piper McLean in Rick Riordan's series The Heros of Olympus. Jason is a son of Zeus so he has lightning powers, thus providing the "Lightning" part of Lightning McLean. Piper's last name is McLean, adding that to the ship name. Most people prefer the ship name Jasper for this couple, but Lighning McLean is sometimes thought to be a more fun alternative, as it sounds like Lightning McQueen, the main character in the Disney-Pixar movie Cars.
