lead bubble

Something (such as a character or vehicle in a video game) that can take a certain amount of damage without any degradation of performance, until the point at which it runs out of hitpoints and suffers spontaneous existence failure.

The idea is that it's like a bubble in the sense that when it's destroyed, it just suddenly "pops" out of existence, but it's made of lead, so it's stronger than an actual bubble.

The name comes from Megaman 2, where one of the weapons Megaman could get was called the "Bubble Lead". Which was probably a reference to how it "leads" you and finds hidden pits, but a lot of people started pronouncing it like the metal lead...
I put so many shield generators on my ship that it's practically a lead bubble now. 1,000 HP worth of shields, and 150 HP worth of internal components... one hit from a wave motion gun once the shields are down and it's toast!

Lead-Paint Job

From Tidewater Pidgin and Qarsherskiyan English, a Lead-Paint Job means a shooting. It is inferred that paint means blood and lead means lead bullets in this case, when pondering the origin of the term, which first surfaced by at least 1998 in downtown Newport News, VA from the slang and terminology of a now irrelevant gang that was mostly comprised of Qarsherskiyan Vodou practitioners.
