How your parents threaten you when you are small and vulnerable: stop crying or i'll spank you.
It is used only when the child is already crying, having a tantrum, in need of comfort like a hug or a large bandage. Usually the child is crying because the parent has yelled at him or her.
The parent becomes desperate, irritated, and embarrassed (if in public).
Apparently, the parent thinks that threatening a child with physical harm is the most efficient way of stopping it from crying.
It's further proof that parents are sadistic and retarded. Goes in the same category as "if you don't _____, you better" i.e., the category of Threatening Statements That Make No Sense.

Tommy: Waaa waaa it hurts, mommy, don't!
Brenda: If you don't stop crying I'll give you something to cry about!
Tommy: Waa--wait, what? *never forgets traumatic childhood*

It’s an adjective you use to describe someone who thinks weirdly than others. Usually used for psychopathic peeps or just crazy. In other terms, mentally disturbed people.
Why a movie about killing as a holiday? There must be something wrong upstairs in the director’s mind.

"THAT" guy - you know the one... 20-something yuppie-in-training, lives with old college buddies in a messy apartment, never has toilet paper in the bathroom; loves life, beer, pizza, and hot 20-something girls although is hesitant to commit.
"... yeah, we met last weekend for drinks - he was as cute as I remember - but he's TOTALLY 20-Something-Guy!"
"He's still in 20-something-guy mode, but I'm hopeful he'll grow out of that by the time he's 30."
