Going to an expensive bar, ordering a martini, and the bartender only filling half the martini glass.

Kicking back with friends and dishing up gossip. You have a really juicy piece of dirt on somebody and after a good martini or two you tell everything you know or heard whether it's true or not.
A friend confides in you that her man might be cheating on her and tells you to keep quiet about it. You're hanging out with friends and get a good martini in you. You blurt out to the whole group what is going on. Or you go home and start calling everyone you know to tell them the secret. You give them The Martini.

In movie terms, directors use this phrase to describe the last shot of the day while on set. Once their work is done, they stir their last drink to let go for the day.
Director: Take a drink man!
Producer: The Martini? Ah well that's where we'll end the scene I guess.
Director: Yeah. This is the Martini man, I need to go home.

A Martini is an alcoholic drink made classically with gin and vermouth and served with a green olive (when served with coctail onions the drink is called a "Gibson").
It is served chilled, often by ice in a specific shaker, then drained into the signature-style glass.
The ratio of the two liquids is 5:1 (traditionally, 2 and one half ounces of gin to half an ounce of vermouth) usually, though by changing this, a person can make the drink "drier" (more gin) or "wetter" (less gin) depending on his tastes.
Martinis can also be made with other alcoholic bases, the most common alternative to gin being vodka (often called a Vodka Martini, Vodkatini, or Kangaroo)
Other variations of the Martini centre around the inclusion of other alcohol or flavours in the drink.
