bumper shine

Term used in Saskatchewan, Canada. Def'n: the winter art of hanging onto the bumper of a vehicle and sliding along behind it, unbeknownst to the driver. City buses work well.

Cam, you shifty bastard, let's go bumper shining over on Trotter.

shine line

In Chicago the "shine line" is what the CTA calls the Red Line. It is called this because mostly black people ride it. It runs from Howard to 95th street on the far south side.

Shit bro I'm at 95th and need to get to Fulerton quick to sell some weed.

Damn son day one shit, why dont you just take the shine line?

burn to shine

Self-destruction in the pursuit of art or glory.

We lost them too early: Jean Harlow, Marilyn Monroe, James Dean, Heath Ledger. They burned to shine.
Don't worry about me, I won't burn to shine.

Shining the Butler

To waste time lavishing attention (ostensibly in the form of sexual favors) onto a party who cannot provide you any form of significant reward or upward mobility, while the reigning and more influential members of the metaphorical household go unserviced.

Joey spent all day showing his project to the junior VP but I told him he's really just shining the butler, Jenkins the new CTO makes all the decisions around here!
