bock down

buckle down and make a serious effort. "bock" from the German, Bock, a mountain goat; by inflection, the devil, darker side, or wildness. My maternals used to ask us children whether they should drive the bock out of us. "Soll ich dir mal den Bock raustreiben?" From this it could be affirmed that we were onto some significant disturbance.

"Bock down and do some business, boy!"

White Down

When a partner in a law firm (who is almost always white) writes down or writes off billable hours accounted by a person of color associate, in part, because they do not look like their white associate counterpart.

White male associate: Hey! Got a pretty good bonus this year for making my billable hours…did you?

POC female associate: No, I got so many “white downs” because the white partners in this law firm devalue my time, bro.

Wetting-Down

1. Uniformed personnel spending preposterous amounts of money to celebrate a promotion; usually out of a slavish sense of obligation to tradition. 2. A Finical asteroid strike which ironically heralds the presumed increase in wealth and generally an outsized increase in responsibility. 3. A celebration of a shiny new object on your uniform.

Enlisted person 1: “Where are all the other officers today?”
Enlisted person 2: “Hospital.”
Enlisted person 1: “Why?”
Enlisted person 1 “Lieutenant (JG) C. is selling his blood plasma to pay his rent and the rest are there for severe dehydration”
Enlisted person 1: “What happened?”
Enlisted person 2 “Wetting-Down.”
