Idiom; to attempt an ill-advised, mildly unpleasant shortcut to avoid a more complicated process, with a high probability of failure. The idiom itself is an example of such an experience, since licking trees is unpleasant, and even maple trees rarely taste sweet just by licking the bark. The idiom also implies that tried and true methods, rather than blind experimentation, yield better results. Drilling into the trunk of a maple tree with a tap, is the correct way to obtain maple syrup.
"Kicking the car to try and make it start again won't work. That's just licking a tree and hoping for maple syrup, honestly. Let's call a tow truck instead."

Get the Maple Valley mug.O'Malley's Bar is a place where bad shit goes down. People originally went there when they had a thirst, but after a while it slid into disrepair and all sorts of fiends started swalling there. There was a strange aura about the place, it was a local pub run by O'Malley, his horrible fish-faced wife and his duaghter Siobhan. Siobhan could pull a sweet wee pint, but still got grief off all of the dicks and scumbags that descended on O'Malley's. You know the type, the kind of guy who pays a whore to let him walrus, scissor and Birmignham booty call her.
Anyways, O'Malley's got pretty vicious one night. Some guy came in and basically shot the shit out of everyone in it. All the locals - Mr. Brookes, Richardson, O'Malley's family and many more - were blasted to hell by some absolute headcase. He even had an erection when the cops found him. O'Malley's got shut down soon after and the murderer served 60 hours of community service and is currently taking anger management classes.

Cardinal: Fatt Catt, you wanna go to O'Malley's Bar tonight?
Fatt Catt: Did you not hear about the shit that went down in their last night? Jerry Bellows got slammed with an ash-tray the size of a really big fuckin' brick. All sorts of boyos got wrecked.
Cardinal: Lucky we went to club trax in our fat man pants, eh?

Get the O'Malley's Bar mug.One of the original 6 NHL hockey teams with a strong fan base in Toronto and the Toronto and Greater Toronto Area. The most Stanley Cup wins of the NHL next to the Montreal Canadiens who have more then double the Leafs total.
The Leafs last Stanely Cup win was in 1967.
The Leafs are to the NHL what the NewYork Yankess are to MLB considering dollar value, howeve the performance is a different story.
Leafs fans fall into 2 categories:
The first representing the much smaller group of the 2 being those that are extremely devoted and loyal to their "local team" and stay by them regardless of performance, even if they are in a 43 year (and counting) slump. God bless those true blue fans.
The 2nd group of devoted fans are the retards who honestly believe that for some reason the leafs have a reason and desire to win a game. They can commonly be identified by shouting "This is the year! This is the year"
These are the fans who have paid no attention to any other team in the league and for this reason have never made the comparison between the Leafs and a team consisting of real hockey players too see the difference.
The Leafs have the worst 3rd period performance of any team in the NHL. The reason for that being is lack of heart, grit, will and balls.
The leafs exist only as a franchise and buiseness, not as a hockey team. Evedince for this is on CBC during every broadcast of Hockey Night in Canada.
