release the penguins

1. To seriously fuck up

2. To act quickly without thought.

This phrase began during the Great Smoky Mountain wildfires of November, 2016. The Ripley’s Aquarium in Galtlinburg, TN was in danger of catching on fire and the community was concerned about the welfare of the animals inside the establishment. During the fire, a small group of online-self-proclaimed-animal-experts strongly suggested that the penguins be released out into the wild for safety. Seriously, think about that for a minute – the penguins should be released into a forest fire to take care of themselves – can you picture how that would really work? How long would a penguin last in a forest fire?
"Wow, I can’t believe that I stabbed myself in the eye with a fork, I really released the penguins on that one. "

"Look, this is important – so, don’t release the penguins."

soccer mom reflex

A reflex that occurs when an otherwise well-mannered mother perceives her child has been threatened, slighted or other-wised maligned causing an uncontrolled outburst.
I could feel my soccer mom reflex go into action when I heard another kid's mom getting on to my son. I snapped and said, "Oh, no, you didn't just point your finger at MY son!"

Fukushima Release Valve

The progression of the Japanese Blindfold where the groom proceeds to go further down the bride's face, and his anus envelops her nose as well, then farts spewing toxic gas out of her mouth and into the air. Results in a subsequent Howl at the Moon, and possibly what can only be known as The Hiroshima.

Note: While hilarious, this is not a recommended progression of the custom since it has resulted in pink eye and bacterial pneumonia.
I can't believe he pulled off the Fukushima Release Valve! What a lucky biride.

Skank reflex

"When your prefrontal cortex fails to make you happy, promiscuity rewards you with a needed flood of dopamine." Amy Farrah Fowler
When my boyfriend broke up with me, I ran to the playground and hung upside down on the monkey bars. I showed all the boys my underpants invoking the skank reflex.
