A phrase describing something so incredibly confusing that you have no idea how to get through it. Comes from the Water Temple in Zelda 64, one of the most insane levels I've seen in any video game, ever. No joke - EVERYONE gets stuck in the Water Temple when they play this game, usually for weeks/months/years.

Get the stuck in the Water Temple mug.Old folks from the country, generally in the south, use to say on nights where there was mist/fog over a swamp, pond, river or lake that the devil was raising hell under water. The saying "there is going to be smoke on the water tonight" came from that and means something is about to go down or someone is getting ready to raise hell. The saying predates the rock song by deep purples but I doubt they intended that meaning in their song. I believe their song is about a fire at a hotel.

Get the Alone on the Water mug.-idiom/phrase
Many different interpretations, but here's mine.
An idea or product that is hindered by lack of careful thought and planning and does not appeal to the masses. The fault usually falls upon the developer of the idea/product. When the product or idea is dispersed to the intended audience, the audience immediately dismisses it. The idea or product was doomed from start.
