In the book "A Tale of Two Cities," Charles Dickens writes, "So the guard of the Dover mail thought to himself, that Friday night in November, one thousand seven hundred and seventy-five, lumbering up Shooter's Hill, as he stood on his own particular perch behind the mail, beating his feet, and keeping an eye and a hand on the arm-chest before him, where a loaded blunderbuss lay at the top of six or eight loaded horse-pistols, deposited on a substratum of cutlass."

Get the arm-chestmug. The action of holding one's arms on either side of one's body, flexing said arms and then pumping them up and down while chanting loudly - preferably a variation on 'do-de-do-da-du-da-do-du-do-do' - in the manner of a boozy darts fan celebrating a maximum checkout from Phil 'The Power' Taylor at the World Darts Championships in Ally Pally. Essentially an oafish way to celebrate something.
After realising there was still a tiny bit of Tabasco left in the bottle to put in his crisp sandwich, Seb celebrated by doing darts arms.

Get the Darts armsmug. In American football, when the offense has the ball late in the second quarter on third down and long, and often in their own territory, the quarterback will likely chuck up a prayer throw in hopes of getting a first down. An arm punt is when this pass is intercepted. This is not as much on the quarterback as a regular interception, because it is a desperation throw and, barring insane luck, a less risky throw would have zero chance at getting a first down.
In the 2016 NFC Championship Game, when the Packers had the ball on third and long with 2 minutes left in the half, Aaron Rodgers threw an arm punt to a Falcons defender.
