born on third base

term coined by the great Barry Switzer to describe someone who was born with a silver spoon in their mouth but has an arrogance and thinks their standing in life is because of their own doing.
The Cooker: "i hate hanging out at the Kirk Hotel with all of these arrogant, rich punks that think they are an international man of leisure."
Pete Dick (calling Oak the goon): "look dude, just focus on jacking for beats and I will take care of these fucks that were born on third base."

third time's the charm

If you're trying to do something, and twice it didn't work, you say, "Third time's the charm". This is a hopeful saying -- "it will work the third time!"

I'm trying to get something organised with a group of people and last week I said "third time's the charm". But it's still not working. And we're at five times now. So I offer this for those of us that need something to say when it gets to four times or more:

First time’s the promise

Second time’s a shrug
Third time’s the charm
Fourth time’s a boon
Fifth time’s a broken heart
Sixth time is doom.
Ha, foiled again! But third time's the charm.

Thirds

The standard Mexican Mafia tax on illicit proceeds in prison or on the street.
Ex. 1

Prosecutor: Are you familiar with the concept of thirds?

Boxer: Yes, thirds.

Prosecutor: What's that?

Boxer: Thirds is the standard tax on anybody, particularly for individuals coming into a prison setting. Anybody coming in with drugs or any illegal material, any contraband, they're required to give us a third, the Mexican Mafia members a third.

Rene 'Boxer' Enriquez, Testimony in USA v. Jaimez et al., September 12, 2018

Ex. 2

Boxer: I got an assignment for you. There's a trap house in Boyle Heights run by a dude named Nico. He's bragging about being tax free. It's on Matthews across the street from the high school--

Savage: --Isn't that the school where Jaimie Escalante taught calculus to all them cholos and jainas?

Boxer: Uh huh. And like Mr. Escalante, you're gonna teach Nico some math. Specifically, how the concept of thirds works. Make sure he knows that La Cliqua sends its regards.
