poke it with a stick

"Poke it with a stick" is an idiom and originates in one's coming across a motionless thing, possibly some sort of creature. One typically responds by poking it with a stick or any longish handy object one wouldn't mind possibly getting gooey when visual inspection alone fails to identify the thing. Verbal speculation with others is exhausted and one is urged to "poke it with a stick." By poking with a stick, one hopes to find if the thing will move (in which case, all run away), or to find if it seems soft or rigid or recently soft and now rigid, or if the entire thing or only a portion of it is present plus any other information poking a thing with a stick may yield. The stick allows one to investigate in the moment of discovery in situ, when it is unwise or disgusting to use a finger or toe. As an idiom, "poke it with a stick" means that a thing or situation is suspect and elicits morbid curiosity.

"Is that a snake?" "I don't know. Has it moved?" "I don't think so." "Let's poke it with a stick."
If you poke a guru with a stick, will you find the skin thick, or thin and already full of holes?

pop a socket

The result of over-enthusiastic weight training or body-building. When you just had to do that extra rep at 250 pounds but should have known better, and pop your shoulder out of its socket as a result.

Jason: "No. I'm OK! I can do one more rep!"
Pete: "Jason, that's 36 stone you're pressing!
Jason: "I'm OK! I can do it. Hnnnnnggghhhhahhhhrrrgggg!"
Pete: "What ? What's the matter???!!!!??"
Jason: "Sheeee-it! My shoulders!"
Pete: "That's the way to pop a socket!"

Hobo with a Shotgun

A tired, old, bear trundles into town. All he wants is to rest, to live quietly, to bother no one and be bothered by no one.

The town, however, is a nest of vile things, each grubbing mercilessly for sex and money and power and blood.

The bear stands clear and apart till circumstance forces his hand.

He bares his teeth, works his claws: vile things die.

He is opposed at every turn by vile things and by those who are preyed upon by the vile things.

Only a teacher stands with the bear.

In the end: the vile things die (but the corruption each fostered stands), the bear dies, the teacher is co-opted.

Rutger Hauer was marvelous as 'the Hobo' in Hobo with a Shotgun.

A-Sharp

Quickly, immediately, promptly. Similar to ASAP (as soon as possible), but sharper and snappier.

"What are you guys sitting around for? Get the car A-sharp and let's roll out. I got a package to grab in two minutes "
