Le guillotine de la porte

The fear that one may lose a body part due to any kind of door that is perceived to be closing too quickly. The phrase is said to have originated from 18th century survivors of the French Revolution who passed their remaining days in a kind of post traumatic stress disorder and obsessing about sharp quickly closing things.
"Johnny get your hand back into this elevator, the door is about to close!"

"Mom, it is just an elevator door."

"Yeah that's what you said about the bus door this morning."

"Mom I think you have le guillotine de la porte and the stories you hear are just urban legends."

"Just get your hand out of the door."

Laporta Slap

A slap so humiliating that the recipient is left red-faced and speechless. When the shock wears off, the recipient, feeling the utmost shame, usually claims that it didn’t even hurt.
Did you see Laporta slap John Cala right in the face after he pulled the fire alarm? That Laporta Slap was epic. It totally left John Cala red-faced and speechless.

That Laporta Slap was the slap heard round the world. The squirt John Cala will never recover from that Laporta Slap. He’ll probably still be in denial, talking about how it didn’t even hurt 15 years later.
