I know a guy

When you know how to personally contact an expert in a particular field--especially when the subject is unusual, strangely specific, or illegal. Often used when you do not want to reveal the identity of the contact or how you came to make the acquaintance of such a person.

Co-worker: "The boss said a hooker took off with the USB flash drive with all our vital code stuck up her vagina. How are we going to find her and get it back?"

You (not wanting to talk about how you did IT for a pimp/gynecologist who owes you a favor): "I know a guy."

Get the I know a guy mug.

I am spartacus

Refers to a scene in the movie "Spartacus" starring Kirk Douglas as Spartacus. After the army of former Roman slaves led by Spartacus is defeated in battle by legions of the Roman army, a Roman general stands before the captured surviving members of the slave army and demands that they turn over Spartacus, or else all of the former slaves will be executed. Upon hearing this and not wanting his friends to be executed, Spartacus stands up and says "I am Spartacus." However, the loyalty of his friends is so great that each of them stands forward in succession, shouting "I am Spartacus!" until the shouts dissolve into a cacophony of thousands of former slaves each insisting "I am Spartacus!" Bewildered and still not knowing which of them is Spartacus, but impressed by the loyalty he inspires in his army, the Roman general has all of the slaves crucified in a miles-long display alongside the Appian Way leading back to Rome.

Thus the phrase "I am Spartacus!" is often used to humorously start a chorus of responses of "No, I am Spartacus" among a group.

Person enters chat room and types "I am Spartacus."

100 other people in the chat room then respond with "No, I am Spartacus!", "I am Spartacus!", etc.

I oun break

A phrase used by individuals to describe an overwhelming level of laziness that renders them unable to perform even the simplest functions. Often used by by one that appears to be on duty (i.e., not "oun break"), whose duties include (and normally consist only of) performing mundane tasks and also possesses an unjustified feeling of entitlement.

"Can I hand you this form?"
"Sorry, I oun break."
"Can't I just physically hand this to you? All you have to do is take it from my hand and put it on your desk."
"I. Oun. Break." (note: ideal usage of "I. Oun. Break." includes use of wagging an extended index finger to emphasize each word.)
