To burn the boats is a metaphor for destroying any safety net you have. To go all in and decide to go after it regardless of the outcome. It originated from the conquering of the Aztecs by Cortez. Once they reached the shore of Mexico Cortez decided to tell his men to burn the boats. Meaning they would either die or conquer the land.

John fucking Rambo: “burn the boats you pussy.”

Get the The Battle Cats mug.by anonymous September 16, 2020
Get the Lick the bowl mug.Similar to "Jump the Shark" or "nuke the fridge", this idiom is used to describe when a videogame has begun its decadence or a period of bad quality. Named after the events in the final level of Resident Evil 5 when Chris Redfield shows impossible levels of human strength when he punches a boulder in a freaking volcano. It's important to mention that these moments aren't guilty of the changing direction (for worse) of a videogame saga but rather a symbol of it.
Oh my gosh, I thought this game was just campy but after the cutscenes it has definitely came to its "Punch the boulder" moment.

Get the Barcoding the bottle mug.Quite possibly the best movie ever, starring the late great John Belusi, and also starring Dan Ackroyd. About two blues musicans who need money for a orphanage, so they get their blues band together. All along they are on the run from the law for henious crimes committed.
