addiction to the knife

An obsession with or addiction to cosmetic surgery (medically necessary surgery, reconstructive surgery and single uses of cosmetic surgery don't usually qualify). "The knife" in this case refers to the scalpels associated with this sort of surgery.

It's sad that so many celebrities today have an addiction to the knife.

Spin The Knife

Like Spin the Bottle, only there's no romance whatsoever. In its place, there is murder and bloodshed. This game is Round-based, where a group of at least 5 people sit at a table with a knife placed on top of it and one person spins the knife. The first person that has the tip pointed to them is the Killer of that Round, where the second person that has the knife's tip pointed at them is the Victim. The game goes for as many Rounds until there is only one person remaining. The Last Man Standing is the Winner of the Game. The Aim of the Game is to not Die. But when the Host dies, everyone else must Scatter.

Round One Victim: Hey, do you wanna play Spin The Knife?
Round One Killer: Yeah, sure.

*Host (Who just happened to be the Round One Victim) spins the Knife* *Knife points to Round One Killer, then Round One Victim*
Round One Victim: Man, I suck at this game...

Spin The Knife

A game which suicidle indiviuals partake in. A group of 5 or 6 or so sit in a circle around a pocket knife. They spin the knife and who ever the blade lands on has to place one slit on his/er wrist. It just keeps going until a person dies; the first person to die is a winner. It continues until one person is left. The last person writes down the order in which the people dies; first to last(including himself). Then fall on the blade and waits to to die. Corbin G. was the founder of this game and was a great teenage who lost his life to the game. This is for imformational purposes only; don't play at home.

Swallow the knife

Verb. To put a spin on an old cliche to make it seem more original to your audience. Usually the spin is ridiculous and idiosyncratic, but sometimes it can totally redeem a passage.

The term comes from the old cliche of a spy cutting through the rope (s)he is caught up in with a knife that (s)he finds in her pockets that the guards did not pat down correctly. A writer might put a spin on the old cliche by having the spy vomit up the knife, thus making it at least somewhat original.

Writer: Did Josh finally fix the story?
Writer 2: Yeah, his explanation for why the character killed all of the bounty hunters went from "because they killed his family" to "because they were incredibly intelligent game show hosts on Mars.
Writer: Damn, he really knows how to swallow the knife.
Writer 2: Tell me about it.

AVGN: Anyone who wants to get far in this game, my rules are: 1. Get The Knife. 2. Get The Knife. 3. GET THE KNIFE.
