I wasn't too keen on doing that job, so I gave John the swift handball.

Irish Handbasket

A spectacular and entirely preventable sexual catastrophe resulting from a group of middle-aged white guys attempting a sexual act they saw in a video, only to fail in a way that involves bodily fluids, property damage, and a trip to the emergency room. Their hubris blinds them to the obvious danger, leading to an explosion of ineptitude, leaving everyone—and everything—covered in the undeniable aftermath of their terrible judgment. It's the kind of sexual misadventure so profoundly stupid it makes you miss "The Good Old Days" when they just talked about it.

Ever since Vacant, Tobias, Dalix, tried to do 'The Human Centipede' at the bachelor party, the whole group has been a total Irish Handbasket. They ended up in a tangled mess and had to call 911 because someone got a beer bottle stuck somewhere it shouldn't have been.

Slovak Handball

“Slovak Handball” (Slovenská hádzaná in Slovak) is a slang expression for getting blackout drunk by drinking an excessive number of shots. The fast tempo and the way the shots are ‘thrown’ into you resemble the pace and style of the sport handball.
This style of drinking is mainly popular in rural areas of Slovakia, where many so-called “professional” alcohol drinkers can be found.

Hey, ready for tonights game of Slovak Handball?
Damn you are really hangover, did you play Slovak Handball yesterday?

Going to hell in a handbasket

In the 1890s in San Fransciso there was a popular hooker named Helena who was recognizable in that she always carried a small handbasket instead of a purse or handbag; hence she acquired the nickname "Helena Handbasket". Sailors arriving in the port would often say things like "I'm gonna look up Helena Handbasket tonight" or in announcing their intention of what to do after a night at the bar, "Now I'm going to Helena Handbasket", which by association with the sinful nature of the activity involved, became the mondigreen, "going to hell in a handbasket".

Hey dude, if you don't stop chasing so much pussy you're going to hell in a handbasket.
