arrow roulette

A group of people stand in a circle. One of them fires an arrow upward into the air. Whoever stays in the circle the longest is the winner.
This is a dangerous game because the arrow could fall and hit the winner, or go out of control and hit one of the people who bailed.

Arrowhead High School

A high school located in Hartland, WI, home to a good football team, million dollar locker room, way too many lax bros and rich kids, and Phil Kasun. Ben Askren went here, but we're kinda famous for being right next to where JJ Watt grew up.
Person 1: Hey, you go to Arrowhead High School right?
Person 2: Yeah
Person 1: Can I borrow your jet and go to Bora Bora for the weekend.

Person 2: Sure I don't think my daddy will mind that much.

straw boat borrows arrows

The act of using someone's strength against them.

- - - - -

The term is said to have originated from the Chinese strategist, Zhuge Liang, during the Battle of Red Cliff against the army of Cao Cao.

Before the Battle of Red Cliffs, Zhuge Liang went to visit the Wu camp to assist Wu strategist Zhou Yu. Zhou Yu saw Zhuge Liang as a threat to Eastern Wu and was also jealous of Zhuge Liang's talent. Therefore, he assigned Zhuge Liang the task to make 100,000 arrows in ten days or face execution. Zhuge Liang, however, swore he would finish this seemingly impossible task in three days. He requested 20 large boats, each manned with many straw men and a few soldiers. Before dawn, Zhuge Liang ordered his soldiers to beat war drums and shout orders, to imitate the noise of an attack.

Zhuge Liang sat with Lu Su inside one of the boats drinking wine. The Wei soldiers, unable to see in the fog, fired many volleys of arrows at the sound of the drums. The straw men were soon filled with arrows, and Zhuge Liang returned to Wu having fulfilled his promise.

Jin: Straw boat borrows arrows, eh?
Mike: That's not one of those Chinese proverbs, is it?
Jin: >:)

Arrow

Every adventurers worst nightmare. Protect your knees from the onslaught of arrows, or else you will become a city guard who won't help anyone because you'll think someone stole their sweet rolls.
Guard: I used to be an adventurer like you. Then I took an arrow-
Boromir: In the knee? Must have been awful.
Leonidas: Shut up. Both of you.
