Going Paducah

dying, when someone or something is on it’s last legs, last gasp or exhibiting a death rattle (The word “Paducah” is derived from the sound made when a severed head is drop-kicked into an empty dumpster. pah-DOO-kah)

“C’mon stop smackin’ that old TV. You’re not helping any. It’s going Paducah and there’s nothing you can do about it.”

When the going gets tough, the tough get going

What this means is that when faced with difficulties and adversity, those who are mentally and physically resilient do not give up, but formulate an effective and disciplined plan of action which they initiate and carry through to a successful conclusion.

"Despite getting stuck with the fallout from Malcolm's fuck-up, Nick got everything sorted inside of a week!"
"Yeah, when the going gets tough, the tough get going."

Gongoozler

The gongoozler prefers the pitch black of night. It lurks in the deep end of perfectly normal pools (or oceans) that have only been heated for two hours. The gongoozler will heeeeeeeh swim up to you, take you by the toes, and bring you down down down into the frothy depths. The tail of the gongoozler is considered to be a mighty relic.

If you see a shadow in your pool at night, it may be the shadow of the gongoozler. If you have ever heard the call of the gongoozler you know death is coming. Memento Mori, friends. 33: 11: 51: 11

Mark better watch out swimming around in his pool at night, or the Gongoozler might grab him by his toes and drag him to the depths...dragging him further beyond.

going full troll

Going full troll — extensive actions designed to see how far partners in any arena will go with you no matter how badly you are treated.

Donald Trump is going full troll on the Republican Party by publicly dining with anti-semites and White Supremacist; then doubling down by call for the rejection of The Constitution of the United Stated.

Going Full Common

To give a public expository speech using vague and uplifting rhetoric; spoken in a sing song rhythmic cadence; as though participating in an open mic poetry slam.

This description is based on the key poetic delivery style elements of rapper and slam poet Lonnie “Common” Rashid Lynn.

This expression was made popular by the Season 2 trailer of the series Woke. The expression will get old when people find their own approach to public speaking; and, stop biting other people’s style. Which — actually — means that this expression will be around for a while!

Damn! Did you hear him give that best man speech; he was going full Common celebrating the bride and groom. I can’t remember a word he said but it made me feel a lot better about jumping the broom.
