brutto il signore

"Brutto il signore" literally means "Ugly (the) God". The Catholic Church is really powerful in Italy and insults to God, Jesus, Mary and all the other saints are very badly judged (it's actually a crime) but, at the same time, very common. People use "Brutto il signore" even to complain about anything, for example when they accidentally hurt theirselves or it starts raining. It's particulary in the folk customs of the two regions of Veneto and Tuscany, where they use these kind of expressions ("Dio Maiale", "Madonna Puttana", "Cane di Gesù" and so on) very often and at every age.

(loud) "BRUTTO IL SIGNORE!!!"

Smoke Signal

The act of blowing marijuana smoke in the direction of a distracted friend to let them know it's their turn to hit the blunt.
Johnny, who was already in a daze from excessive smoking, got a whiff of the smoke signal, and then knew it was his turn to hit the blunt.

Kesha with a dollar sign

The worst pop artist in history, with the added phrase "with a dollar sign" to make evident the crappiness of her act, especially her name. Ke$ha?!? Are you fuckin' serious. KE$HA?!? Oh yeah Kesha (with a dollar sign), you think you are so cute and so smart by coming up with a dollar sign in lieu of an "s". I can't believe nobody thought of that before! It's almost as shitty as the music itself. I would rather get stung up the dick hole by a hornet than listen to a so-called-song of yours.
Come on, why does all this crappy music exist today? Why did John Lennon and Kurt Kobain have to die? Fuck Justin Bieber. Fuck The Jonas Brothers. Fuck Miley Cyrus. And especially Fuck Kesha with a dollar sign.

signology

The art of communicating with someone by using random hand motions that are generally irrelevant to what you are actually trying to say.
Using signology in math class is a great way to tell your friend three desks behind you that a guy was walking down the street in Mexico.
