The bull is off the nickel

"Bull" is being used as a double entendre -- meaning both the animal shown on the nickel and the other meaning of stupid or untrue talk or writing; nonsense. So, the bull is coming off the nickel and bring applied to the situation at hand. The situation at hand being nonsensical.

This obscure phrase is famously used in the Twilight Zone episode "Mr. Garrity and the Graves". Rod Serling, in the intro, uses this expression in referring to Jared Garrity, who makes a living restoring life to the dead.

"Mr. Garrity, if one can believe him, is a resurrecter of the dead - which, on the face of it, certainly sounds like the bull is off the nickel." -- Rod Serling

Nickelback

A band that some people hate and other people "hate". But seriously, Nickelback isn't THAT bad. I would much rather listen to them than what some elitist music snobs and critics call good music. Some people might genuinely dislike their music, but many others dislike them because it's the cool thing to do and it makes them think that they're more sophisticated and intelligent because they like "better music". Why don't you roll over and let the internet and music critics stomp on the other side of your face?

"That band Nickelback isn't that good, but it's much better than what my hipster friend calls good music"

Nickelbacking 

When someone leaves their Facebook up on an open computer, and their friends immediately change everything about their profile to being in love with the band Nickelback.

Jess left her computer open, so we'll be Nickelbacking her. We've changed her favorite music, books, and movies to Nickelback, her status to "I love Nickelback," her profile picture to Chad Kroeger, and her sexuality to All The Right Reasons.
