shit, shave, shower and shine

Originating in the U.S. Army of WWII, this is the shorthand slogan to describe the hygiene preparation an enlisted soldier must do to ready himself for a military inspection by superiors.

"Shine" refers to the careful and thorough polishing of one's black military boots.

Now it has entered civilian use to mean preparation for any important social event in which one must look good, often abbreviated nowadays to just "shit, shave and shower".
Soldier 1: "We've got an inspection later today from the brass."

Soldier 2: "Guess it's time to shit, shave, shower and shine."

Maori Shower

When you spray yourself all over with spray-on deodorant as a substitute for having a shower. The maoriness of the maori shower will double if you do it in the supermarket using one of the cans on the shelves and then put it back without paying for it once you're done.
Person 1: "Ohhhhhhh g the water got turned off but all good I'll just crank out a maori shower"

Person 2: "You disgust me"

Shower Beer

The most delightful beer in the world. Can be anything from Pabst to Guiness, but must be consumed within the shower and while the shower is on.
I woke up with a mad hangover this morning, but after that shower beer I have a nice buzz on.

kentucky meat shower

A strange incident on March 3rd 1876 in Kentucky, meat fell from the sky for several minutes. Some said it tasted like beef but a doctor said it could be lung tissue from either a horse or a human infant.

German Shoelaces

The act of backing up into someone's face while they're bending over to tie their shoes, for the sole purpose of farting directly into their face. This act can be performed without removing your pants, but it is hilarious to do it with your pants down. For optimal performance, consider eating Ex-Lax before performing this act to brown-wash your victim.
They say the German Shoelaces will grow hair on your chest -- if it doesn't burn the hair out of your nose, first. Hope you don't get a turd to the eyeball, man!
Whoa! That German Shoelaces gave him a turdy Hitler moustache! Sick, man!
