taking a break 

1. In a long, committed relationship; the couple are going through some confusion as to what they really want. They 'take the break' in hopes that after a certain amount of time apart, they will A) miss each other enough to realize they really love each other and want the other person back or B) realize they're better off without them.
Sometimes they do get back together and really do benefit from taking a break. Sometimes they don't.

2. In a less committed relationship; she takes a break with him because he's not interesting enough, or not what she expected. He takes a break with her because she's not hot enough or she's too clingy. People in these kind of relationships seldom get back together after taking a break.
1. guy/girl: "I really do care about you, but we've grown apart and I don't know if I'm in love with you anymore. I think we should consider taking a break, so I can have some time to myself to figure it out." (said in all honesty, with good intentions).

2. guy/girl: "I really do care about you, but we've grown apart and I don't know if this relationship is what I want anymore. I think we should take a break, so I can have some time to myself to figure it out." (most likely said to make the other person feel better, so you can make a quick escape and move on).

Taking the browns to the bowl game 

Crapping or taking a dump. Since the Cleveland Browns have never gotten to the superbowl it is unlikely that people will confuse this with anything actually football related.
Dude1: Where you going?
Dude2: I'm taking the browns to the bowl game.
Dude1: Good luck, go for the 2 point conversion.

Taking a knee in the 4th

The act of entering the restroom at work on a Friday evening, 30 minutes before leaving for the weekend, and taking a 30 minute long shit.
Every Friday from 4:30 - 5:00pm Matthew can be found taking a knee in the 4th to close out a successful work week.

Talking Hands 

The over-enthusiastic use of one's hands when behind the camera to emphasize what they are talking about, and avoid still-handed awkwardness. Most frequently used by sports announcers and meteorologists.
I was watching the big game on Sunday night and, I tell you what, Cris Collinsworth was on top of his talking hands game.

Talking At 

Launching into a long-winded monologue without thinking of the other person and what he or she has to say. Not asking them any questions. Eye contact fail.
Tiffany: Talk to me... How did your date go with Chad?

Sharika: He didn't look me in the eyes, or asks me any questions. He was talking at me about himself the whole time.

taking a taser to a bomb site 

Similar to taking a knife to a gun fight, but typically executed by a totally paranoid, uninformed idiot. Frankly, anyone with a brain would not take a knife to a gun fight; they just would not go to a gunfight.
Woody: where’s Herb?
Spencer: he got detained at security

Woody: detained at a Chargers game? Was he busted for smuggling booze?
Spencer: no, my dad is concerned about terrorists blowing up big crowds, so he always packs a taser that he bought off QVC
Woody: ah, taking a taser to a bomb site. What an idiot.
