spend like a drunken sailor on shore leave

To spend a lot of money at any one given time; taken from the fact that sailors, while on shore leave, used to spend all of their money on whores and alcoholic beverages
I stopped letting my wife use the credit card. Every time she goes to the mall, she spends like a drunken sailor on shore leave!

The feelings of anxiety some New Jerseyans felt after the release of MTV's "Jersey Shore" which portrayed all state residents as having orange faces, dance and fist pumping skills, blowed out hair, and the confidence to talk about themselves in 3rd person.
Joe:"Hey bro, what's gotten into Grant? The kid hasn't gone out, shaved, tanned, or cut his hair in like two days."

John:"Grant's been diagnosed with Post Traumatic Jersey Shore Stress Disorder (PTJSSD) ever since that MTV show "Jersey Shore" came out. He can't stand going to Scorekeepers or out in public anymore because everyone wants him to fist pump and show off his abs."

Jersey Shore Rule

In reference to the rule the Jersey Shote cast came up with when Mike hit on a “tranny”

“If you have to ask, if there is even a question, assume it’s a guy”
“Damn that girl is hot I’m gonna go talk to her”

I don’t know, I mean look at her hands and that Adam’s apple. Might be trans and if you’re into that go ahead but if not remember the Jersey Shore Rule”
