Yo, did you push the green thread? Your sensitivity is whack at 60°
Took me forever to push the green thread on this notch. Sigh.
What’s the point of pushing the green thread for an ‘S’?

red to the green

When you’re at a stop light and the light goes red to the green

We got that red to the muh-fugging green, if you know what the phuck I mean.
Red to the green in the mean machine.
Keep on talking like a meme machine.

Get the red to the green mug.

Il Verde (The Green) a.k.a. the 21st century hemlock. "I like this shot", this is the sentence that no one said after drinking this concoction. It has a 95% disgorgement rate, the remaining 5% have never seen the sun rise again.

The recipe was invented by Marzia, even if the proportions are not yet known. The bartender found the right mix to get the young fellas high in the shortest amount of time.
Possible contraindications: too drunk to go into the club.

Marzia: "What do you want to drink? Can I make you 5 Verdi?"
The Boys: "Damn Marzia, Il Verde (The Green) kills us, but let's do it!"
*One minute later*
The Boys: "Where is Spirit? Il Verde has hit again!"
