From way downtown

In basketball, to shoot a very long three-pointer that simply is awesome.

In NBA Jam, back in the good old days, the commentary would yell out "from way downtown" if you shoot a three.

from the jump

Some say that the origin of the phrase is from a "jump ball" in basketball, which happens at the start of the game. So it means "from the beginning."

- What did it feel like for you from the jump?
- Well, actually it was really confusing but then I got used to it...

from accounting

One of the most excessively used suffix to a name. Usually coming from some cliche soap opera or sitcom. Well these people usually just random characters that were thrown in, and don't really matter.

Examples:

Hey, it's Steve from accounting!

Dude, I heard Bill from accounting is throwing a party! Wooo!
