bad as brooklyn

1: When high hopes are crushed by an unpredictable or disappointing events.
Example: Our vacation started off "bad as brooklyn" when the plane was delayed 12 hours.

2: T.V or movie series that (re)makes movies or seasons that run too long and get ridiculous.

Examples: Dexter, Shrek, Transformers, Every Bruce Willis series.

This phrase ultimately refers to a popular T.V show that took a turn for the worse after the third season. The comedy series based out of a Brooklyn Police Precinct quickly became the butt of this joke/phase when the fourth season was released in 2016/17.
Example:
1) "Dumb and Dumber To" is truly "bad as brooklyn" in so many ways.

2) The football game got "bad as brooklyn" in the second half when the snow started.

Brooklyn foxhole

An abandoned car that may provide shelter from bullets during a gunfight or shooting.
When the Magicians and the Knowers took out their zip guns we jumped into a Brooklyn foxhole, an abandoned '41 Chevy in this case.

Brooklyn Bidet

When your girl is taking a shit but you gotta piss, so you lift her legs and piss on her ass so she doesn't have to wipe.

Brooklyn Herp

A much more virulent variant of garden-variety herpes originating from Brooklyn, the most populated of New York City's five boroughs. As young, hip, horny twenty-somethings continue to move into progressively smaller and crappier area apartments, they have sex with each other and unwittingly transmit a cocktail of previous STIs and diseases acquired from their living conditions. Bars, clubs, concert halls, parks, and other large meeting places are high-risk areas. Although the Brooklyn Herp originated in the neighborhood of Williamsburg, the outlying areas of Greenpoint, Bushwick, and Clinton Hill are increasingly at risk of an outbreak. Local health officials often explain this growing problem away as bedbugs.
Dude, don't go to Union Pool if you're trying to hook up tonight. Anyone you meet there is probably going to have the Brooklyn Herp.

Brooklyn thermostat

A window open in the dead of winter, as used by tenants of apartments with building-controlled heating (typically steam radiators), which presumably doubles as a basement blast-furnace and would otherwise boil the occupants alive. So-named for its prevalence in the NYC borough and similar metropolitan areas with many pre-war buildings.
"That open window ain't a 'waste of energy,' it's the Brooklyn thermostat, and I swear d'ya it's the only thing keepin' us all from becomin' kebabs!"
