In role playing games in general, the expression "sword and board" refers to using a weapon in one hand and a shield in the other hand during combat, as opposed to using a weapon that requires both hands to wield and use effectively. Although the expression uses the word "sword" for aesthetic reasons (the rhyming scheme), the weapon in question can be any one handed weapon.
The monster we're up against next hits pretty hard, so I think I'm going to go sword and board for this battle.
He has to go sword and board because he doesn't have the strength to use a proper two handed weapon!

Student 1: Man, College Board is the devil incarnate.
Student 2: Tell me about it. I just bombed my SAT Math II subject test, even though I've taken every math class available up through AP Statistics. So... not only did I not get a good score, but I had to pay for it, and I'll have to pay to cancel it.
Student 1: That sucks.

Get the boaby up the lum' mug.When someone anonymously creates an ad on Craigslist advertising that the poster lives in a large metropolitan area and has a free (or very cheap) boat that they've recently inherited and are desperate to get rid of ASAP.
The ad goes on to say that they don't respond to email, but to call any time - and lists the victim's cell phone number as the contact.
It's best to when the ad is posted very early in the morning, thus guaranteeing a daylong swarm of boat related calls, sometimes carrying over into the following days.

Classic Boat Post scenario:
4:30AM *Victim's cell phone rings*
Caller: "Hey, I'm calling about the boat you've got listed on Craigslist."
Victim: "Look, I don't know what the hell is going on, but I don't have a boat, ok? Someone must have pranked me."
Caller: "Oh... Wow that sucks. So, do you still have the boat?"
Victim: *Hangs up in frustration*
Repeat 100+ more times throughout the day
