For The Wolf

A misunderstanding of the phrase "for the win", which can be used similarly.

Also it's the infamous battle cry of river cliff divers.
Diver:Oh man, this is a big jump. Oh well, FOR THE WOLF!!!!!!!

Fist pumped the wolf

The moment in a movie or t.v. show when something amazing or bizarre happens that boosts your level of moderately enjoying the film to loving it. The name comes from the scene in Fantastic Mr. Fox where George Clooney's character out of nowhere throws a fist pump in the air to a wolf and the gesture is reciprocated. The opposite of nuked the fridge or jumped the shark
Bad Lieutenant really fist pumped the wolf when Nic Cage started yelling at the imaginary iguanas.

Domain of the Wolf

Also spelled "Domain-of-the-Wolf" is a DeviantArt roleplay group of rude, toxic & childish bullies that think they can mistreat others without consequences. Almost none of them can take a lick of criticism without going into a narcissistic rage & blocking others & getting their white knights to gang up on innocent people. They also treat their members like garbage, chewing them up & spitting them out when they've out live their usefulness...

They must never be trusted under any circumstances.....

Peter and the Wolf

A symphonic tale from 1936 by Russian composer Sergei Prokofiev. The story is told by a narrator and an orchestra. Each character has a theme that instruments in the orchestra plays. Peter is played by string instuments, the bird is played by a flute, the duck is played by an oboe, the cat is played by a clarinet, Grandfather's theme is played by a bassoon, the shooting of the hunters' guns is played by the kettle drums, and the wolf's theme is played by 3 French horns.
The story goes that Peter goes outside of his fenced in yard to go play with his animal friends (a bird, a duck, and a cat). His grandfather scolds him for playing outside the yard in fear of a wolf attack. As Peter is sent inside, a wolf appears, scaring the bird and the cat, and eating the duck. Peter then catches the wolf with a rope and soon, some hunters help him take the wolf to the zoo.
The story has performed and adapted many times. One such example was the cartoon short by Walt Disney in 1946.
