This pharse refers to moving up in rank within a particular field or business. If someone "climbs the corporate ladder" to the top, they started out at the bottom (stockboy, mail clerk, etc) and ended up at the top (CEO, CFO, vice pres., etc.)
Tim lived the American Dream. He started out as a desk clerk and climbed the corporate ladder to the top. He is now a CEO in the same field that he had started out in.

Get the Landen mug.When a male decides to give a particular lady very happy. He first gets an erection, but then things get really crazy. He takes a hot liquid, ex. hot coffee, and pours it onto his fully erect member. The coffee causes the penis to swell to gargantuan size and turn red, thus appearing as the penis of the devil himself. The female should almost instantly want to fuck her man because it is quite a sacrifice on his part, as it is quite painful. The proceed to have sexual intercourse, and the lady is particularly pleased.
Topher wanted to give his girlfriend a treat for her birthday, so he made a pot of coffee and performed the devil's lance.
