Triggering a 504 Alarm

Triggering a 504 alarm
(slang)
When someone freaks out or panics because they can’t reach the person they need to talk to—usually during a stressful or urgent situation. Comes from the “504 Gateway Timeout” error online, meaning the “gateway” (the person you're trying to contact) isn’t responding. Basically: emotional timeout = meltdown mode.
Example:
“Bro, I texted Maya five times about the fight I had with my boss and she didn’t answer. I was triggering a 504 alarm thinking she ghosted me in my moment of crisis.”

Alarm Button

A metaphorical or literal button that sends you into full panic mode. Whether it's waking you up at an ungodly hour, triggering anxiety in stressful situations, or being the last resort in a crisis—pressing the "alarm button" means it's time to freak out or act fast. Often associated with early mornings, deadlines, and life's unexpected curveballs.
I hit the alarm button when I realized my 50-word essay was due in an hour. I’m such a slow typer!

Sounding the alarm

When you're about to do anal with someone and you slap your dick imbetween their ass cheeks creating an alarm type noise to notify your partner, you're about to enter their rectum. Can be enhanced by shouting 'bombs away!' Or by screaming like a gibbon
Tyler: "Dude, did you do anal with her?"
Tristan: "Yes but I was sounding the alarm, so all us fine, as she was prepared."
Tyler: "Indubitably...."
