winner-take-all

The type of system used in the electoral college in all states except for Maine and Nebraska. Instead of the winner-take-all system, Maine and Nebraska have split electoral votes. The battleground districts are Maine's 2nd Congressional District (ME-2) and Nebraska's 2nd Congressional District (NE-2). Maine is a blue state while Nebraska is a red state. In the electoral college, all 50 states have electoral votes and there are 538 total votes but 270 are needed to win. If a presidential candidate wins the popular vote in one state, that state's electoral votes go to the winner. The losing candidate receives none.
Why is the electoral college a winner-take-all system even though there are faithless electors?

Take a Gretzky

Taking a "Gretzky" refers to taking a number 2 in a porta-potty in the winter time when the porta-potty chemicals are frozen; you go in a drop a puck on the ice.
Me: "The porta potty is frozen but I gotta take a shit."
My Boss: "It's cool, just take a Gretzky."

Taking the piss

It can just mean making fun of someone or something, but it can also mean taking liberties, like hogging all of something meant to be a shared resource for yourself.
That's the 35th time you've been back to the all-you-can-eat buffet table and filled three plates, Dave. You are taking the piss now.
